RockBridge Announces Two New Mineral Discoveries
RockBridge Resources Inc. (RockBridge) (TSX VENTURE: RBE) is pleased to announce the results of sample analysis resulting from saw cut sampling of the #12 and other historic showings along with additional sampling from its Cross Hills Newfoundland property. This prospecting program was performed to better delineate the known zones of mineralization, locate any historic zones that could not be identified during the prior field investigation and identify additional mineralization on the property. The main historic target coordinates were sampled by channel cuts and representative grab sampling. Anomalous values were encountered however historic results could not be reproduced. During the prospecting program two material new mineral discoveries were made.
A new zone of rare earth mineralization was encountered approximately 1.3 kilometres to the southwest of the historic #12 showing. The showing occurs in outcrop and can be traced for a distance of up to 250 meters with widths reported up to 3 meters. The zone occurs within highly prospective peralkaline granites of the Cross Hills intrusive complex. Highlights of the sampling are listed below.

Anew mineralization showing grading 1.89% Copper has also been discovered within a previously unmapped gabbroic intrusive unit on the property. Only one sample was collected from the outcrop at this location. Additional work will be performed to better define these two zones.
RockBridge President, Gary Mathiesen, stated, "Encouraged by these results we are immediately putting together an intensive prospecting program to better define the REE zones indicated by this sampling, to locate the historic REE sites which we have yet to find, and to better define the zone of this exciting Copper mineralized outcropping. Following examination of those results we should be equipped to conduct a targeted drilling program."
