  • Preparations are underway to extend high resolution magnetic and geochemical surveys at Double Event and two nearby prospects called Lower Lighthouse and Bluff Creek.

David Price, Chief Executive Officer of Rockfire, commented:

"It is pleasing to see progress being made at the Lighthouse project, and even more pleasing to see high-grade gold being encountered. Rockfire has previously drilled at Double Event but this sampling by Sunshine represents a new area which has not been drilled."

"The targeting of high-grade gold at Lower Lighthouse and Bluff Creek is an exciting development, as historically, grades at these prospects are extremely high, with drilling returning 2m @ 6.33 g/t Au and 4m @ 5.91 g/t Au respectively."

"At a time when gold prices are close to record highs, Rockfire is well-positioned by having a high-grade project being explored by a quality partner. We look forward to keeping the market informed of exploration progress at Lighthouse as Sunshine continues its thorough exploration."
