Rockfire Resources plc announced that the Company has been notified by Sunshine Metals Limited, that it has commenced drilling at Rockfire's Lighthouse tenement in Queensland, Australia. Sunshine is farming into the Lighthouse tenement and has the option to earn a maximum 75% interest in the tenement by expenditure of AUD 2.2 million over a 3-year period. Three holes (23PLRC_Prop_001, 002, 004) are designed to target the northeast contact of the main diorite at Plateau, in a sparsely drilled location.

The holes will drill westward, towards the pipe contact. Hole 23PLRC_Prop_003 is designed to test a structure coming off the northeast contact and trending eastward. The third hole, 23PLRC_Prop_007 will test a zone of elevated gold-in-rocks, which includes a Rockfire sample assaying 6.96g/t Au and validated by Sunshine with a value of 7.46g/t Au.

Five drill holes (23CDRC_Prop_001 - 004; and CD23_Prop_010) are proposed at Cardigan Dam West and designed to target the Main Gossan and its eastern extension. Holes 001-003 will target the central part of the surface anomalism, which trends northwest. Hole 010 is proposed to target a mapped east-west trending breccia zone, believed to be the eastern extension of the Main Gossan structure.

One hole, (23CDRC_Prop_004) will test a northwest-trending lineament which has returned rock chips up to 59.5g/t Au. One drill hole (23HCRC_Prop_001) is planned to target immediately below a nickel-in-rock assay at Horse Creek Prospect, which lies approximately 750m northeast of Plateau.
