Marketwired
Rockridge Capital Corp. (TSX VENTURE: RRC) ("Rockridge"; the
"Company") is pleased to announce further results of its diamond
drilling programme at the 250 km2 Fatou Gold Project, southern
Mali.
Highlight results from this second half of the Spring 2011
diamond drill program include 213.97 g/t gold over 4 metres in DDF
010; 13.39 g/t gold over 3 metres in DDF 016 and 8.00 g/t gold over
3 metres in DDF 012. This announcement reports the results of holes
DDF-009 to DDF-020.

All holes were drilled at a -55 degrees angle on an azimuth
bearing of 270 degrees. Diamond drill hole length varied
between 260m and 374m. Holes DDF-011, DDF-013 and DDF-020 did
not intersect gold mineralization.
Visible gold was observed within white quartz veins in drill
logs DDF-010, DDF-012, DDF-014, DDF-015, DDF-016, DDF-017, DDF-018
and DDF-019 that resemble in places multiple sub-parallel
stockworks. Holes were targeted beneath a north-south trend of old
artisinal workings with early diamond drill results (DDF-002 to
DDF-008) reporting significant intersections of 46.65 g/t gold over
2.0 metres, and 4.2 g/t gold over 12.0 metres. A map of the drill
collar locations is attached below and additional maps and sections
are available on the company website
www.rockridgecapitalcorp.com.
The current drilling programme has completed 87 Reverse
Circulation (RC) and 36 Diamond Drill (DD) holes totalling 8,215m
(RC) and 10,729m (DD) since the start of the campaign.
A total of 9,860m of RC drilling has been planned and is
currently being drilled on geochemical anomalies in the Digan North
(62 holes), Digan Central (19 holes) and Digan South areas (20
holes), 7 km west of the main Fatou artisinal workings.
Six planned diamond drill holes will be drilled in the Finiko
area, 8 km SE of Fatou, based on previous historical soil anomalies
and limited RAB drilling. The results of both the RC and DD
programmes will give valuable information on lithological type,
mineralisation, host rocks, geological contacts, thus facilitating
the recognition of discrete conductive features (eg. graphites)
that the upcoming VTEM geophysical survey may pick up.
The helicopter-borne VTEM electromagnetic and magnetic survey
will be flown in July 2011 on a 100m east-west regional spacing
over the entire prospect area and will improve the geological and
structural framework of the project area and guide optimum target
selection based on surveys run in Mali to date.
Mr. Peter Camden Smith is the Qualified Person for the Company
under NI 43-101. Mr. Camden-Smith (M.Sc., G.D.Eng., M.B.L.,
Pr.Sci.Nat) is a professional geologist with more than 30 years
experience. Mr. Camden Smith replaces Mr. Lorne Warner, P. Geo, who
was the Qualified Person for the Company under NI 43-101 up until
June 2011.
All samples were collected on site and sent to ALS-Chemex in
Bamako for analysis. The company inserts a blank and requests a
duplicate sample be run in every batch of 20 samples. In addition,
the lab inserts in-house blanks, standards, and duplicates with
each shipment. Data that falls outside the control limits are
checked and repeated as necessary. An average grade of the original
and the duplicate samples is used where it is applicable, and a
cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t is used as a general rule. The current
boreholes are orientated based on a base line. In addition, the
half core closest to the sampler is taken after cutting the core,
except where there is visible gold. Given the high nugget effects
observed in the difference in grades between the original and
duplicate samples of high grade intersections (i.e. above 50 g/t) a
recommendation has been made to investigate the most reliable
method of achieving representative results for this kind of
deposit. It is noted that in geostatistical evaluations on
Birrimian gold deposits with similar affinities to the Fatou Gold
Project a top cut off ranging between 30 g/t to 250 g/t is
applied.
