Rockcliff Copper Corp. said Oct. 11 that it started a second-phase drill program at the Talbot deposit, which forms part of its Snow Lake copper project in Manitoba.

The program will comprise 10 to 12 drill holes totaling about 5,000 meters. Drilling will focus on testing three areas on the property identified during surveys and drilling last year.

Rockcliff Copper aims to expand existing resources and discover additional zones of volcanogenic massive sulfide mineralization, with work planned on the main Talbot deposit and its northern lens at the north copper zone and at the central geophysical target.
