[{"type":"text","content":"\n \n \n \n RNS Number : 7905T\n Rockfire Resources PLC\n 29 March 2021\n \n \n \n 29 March 2021\n Rockfire Resources plc\n (\"Rockfire\" or the \"Company\")Rock assays confirm and expand gold targets at Plateau\n \n \n Rockfire Resources plc (LON: ROCK), the gold and base metal exploration company, is pleased to announce that high-grade rock assay results have expanded numerous targets at the Company's 100%-owned Plateau Gold Deposit in North Queensland, Australia\n .\n \n \n \n \n \n Highlights:\n \n \n \n \n \n · Rock chip sampling, comprising 34 samples, and geological mapping have been completed over several high priority target areas surrounding Plateau.\n \n \n · Rock chip sampling at the \"Northwest Breccia\" at the Plateau gold deposit has returned high grade results up to 16.8 g/t Au and 50.4 g/t Ag.\n \n \n · Rock chip sampling at the \"Northern Breccia\", which lies 250 m north of the Eastern Breccia JORC gold resource, has returned results up to 1.89 g/t Au and 24.2 g/t Ag.\n \n \n · The \"Northern Breccia\" is also strongly anomalous in zinc, with one value of 0.66 % Zn returned, along with a further six rock samples returning zinc above 0.1 % Zn. \n \n \n · A preliminary scoping study for Plateau remains in progress, with initial recommendations expected shortly. The central purpose of the study is to identify additional work required to steer the project through a logical and systematic advanced exploration phase.\n \n \n · A high-resolution ground magnetic survey is currently in progress at Plateau. This survey covers the two JORC resources at the Central and Eastern Breccias, as well as the Northwest and Northeast Breccias.\n \n \n · Work planned at Plateau over the next six months includes:\n \n \n § A gravity survey to define deep targets at the Central Breccia.\n \n § Infill and extension drilling at both the Central and Eastern Breccias.\n \n § Exploration drilling at the Central and Eastern Breccias.\n \n § Soil sampling to define the extent of gold at the Northeast and Northwest Breccias.\n \n § Exploration drilling at the Northeast and Northwest Breccias.\n \n \n \n \n The following link provides a map showing the location of each of the breccias in relation to the drilled JORC Resources at Plateau. \n http://www.rns-pdf.londonstockex...
