The Shihan VMS property is located in east-central Ontario, approximately 70 km northeast of Wawa, Ontario and approximately 12 km north of Missanabie, Ontario within Challener, Glasgow and Meath townships in the District of Algoma, and Rennie Township in the District of Sudbury. The property covers 29 contiguous, staked Crown Land claim blocks in 419 claim units totaling 6,704 ha.

The Shihan VMS Property comprises favorable host rocks for Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide (VMS) mineralization. Within the property boundariess, the Zinc Zone presently hosts a historical resource of 67,132 tonnes at 12% zinc and 280 g/t silver within a mineralized envelope of 312,072 tonnes at 3% zinc and 124 g/t silver (formerly known as the Zinc Zone, Rennie Silver or Conboy Zn-Ag Deposit). Both resources were completed by Westfield Minerals in 1980, and do not satisfy any of the requirements outlined in National Policy 43-101. They should not be relied upon and should be viewed as historical. The Zinc Zone is associated with zinc, silver and minor amounts of copper, lead and gold. Discovered in 1939, the immediate core area hosting the Zinc Zone was the subject of sporadic exploration, including surface drilling. Additional reconnaissance exploration on portions of the remainder of the property included government airborne geophysics and lake sediment sampling for precious and base metal mineralization.

AGREEMENT SUMMARY

In June of 2006, Rockcliff was granted the option to earn a 100% undivided interest in claim # 1243487 within Rennie Township located in the Sault Ste. Marie Mining Division, District of Sudbury from property owners Mike Tremblay of Wawa, Ontario and Jack Robert of Timmins, Ontario. The terms of the three year agreement calls for Rockcliff to pay total cash of $60,000, the issuance of 350,000 shares and expenditures of $300,000 in exploration on the property. Rockcliff is committed to pay $7,500, issue 200,000 shares and spend $100,000 on the property as its first year commitment. All other cash, share issuances and expenditures are at Rockcliff’s option.
An additional 26 contiguous claim blocks totaling 379 claim units were then staked and included in the above agreement.
All claims are subject to a 2% NSR. Half of the NSR can be purchased at any time by Rockcliff for $1,000,000. Rockcliff retains the right of first refusal on the remaining NSR amount.

EXPLORATION HISTORY

The Shihan VMS Property has been explored intermittently since 1939 when Jack Tremblay of Missanabie, Ontario discovered zinc mineralization (Zinc Zone) south of Conboy Lake in Rennie Township. Sporadic drilling on the property began in 1953 and continued every decade with 89 drill holes totaling 10,651 m completed from several Companies (Coulee Lead & Zinc Mines Ltd., Westfield, Canamax, Noranda and Falconbridge). Additional work included Resource estimations, mechanical stripping, trenching and geological, geochemical and geophysical surveys. Several vintages of airborne geophysical surveys were completed between the 1960s and 1980s covering parts of the property.
