Rockfire Resources plc announced that the Company's active drilling program at its 100%-owned Molaoi zinc deposit in Greece has encountered the highest germanium grade drilled by Rockfire so far. Holes MO_GTK_0010 and MO_GTK_011 are the final holes drilled as part of twinning program to replicate historical holes. These 4 twinned (replicate) holes were drilled to gain confidence in the positioning of mineralisation within the resource, which is largely established from historical drilling of 176 diamond drill holes during the 1980's. Hole MO_GTK_010 intersected 0.67m @ 9.9% Zn, 23.0g/t Ag and 26.0g/t Ge from 76.30m depth.

A second, deeper zone at 79.10m depth intersected 1.22m @ 4.6% Zn, 1.4% Pb, 23.0g/t Ag and 22.4g/t Ge. No sampling occurred at these depths in the original drill hole being replicated from the 1980's (AN23). Hole MO_GTK_011 intersected the highest germanium grade drilled by Rockfire so far at Molaoi.

From 155m depth, 0.6m @ 136.5g/t Ge was intersected, along with 34.4% Zn and 95.6g/t Ag. This interval occurs within a broader zone of 2.3m @ 11.6% Zn, 54.94g/t Ag and 50.88g/t Ge. Hole MO_GTK_011 also intersected a deeper interval starting from 197m depth, which averages 13.44m @ 4.37% Zn, 1.62% Pb, 32.54g/t Ag and 20.85g/t Ge.

The original hole (AN018), which was replicated by hole 11 intersected 4.60m @ 7.34% Zn. The variation in grade and width is explained by differences in sampling intervals and sampling lengths. Diamond drilling is continuing, with the third resource expansion hole in progress.

Observations of the core show visible zinc mineralisation is being intersected in holes drilled deeper than historical drilling. This may result in the resource being expanded at depth once the analyses are completed at the laboratory. Further, observations in the core also show visible zinc mineralisation is being intersected in holes drilled further to the north of historical drilling.

This may result in the resource being expanded towards the north once the analyses are completed at the laboratory. Rockfire is striving to expand the zinc resource at Molaoi. A JORC Inferred Resource of 250,000 tonnes of zinc equivalent metal has been estimated at Molaoi, and the Company is targeting a zinc equivalent resource of between 400,000 tonnes and 450,000 tonnes.
