Rockridge Capital Corp.: Significant Gold Discovery Identified North of Fatou Main Zone

Rockridge Capital Corp. (TSX VENTURE:RRC) ("Rockridge"; the "Company") is
pleased to announce results from the 2013 drilling campaign.


Highlights



--  Twelve diamond drill holes (DD), totalling 3,228m, and fourteen reverse
    circulation (RC) drill holes, totalling 1,942m, were drilled, logged and
    sampled;
      
--  Significant gold mineralisation was intersected in 3 target areas,
    namely G1, G2 and G12;
      
--  The best result from this program is the new gold discovery in target
    G12 (12m grading 5.85g/t Au), which is located approximately 1km on
    strike to the NNW from the Fatou Main Zone (target G3);
      
--  Geophysical response suggests the structure associated with the new
    discovery has a potential strike length greater than 1.8km;
      
--  Mineralisation encountered in drilling to date shows that the Fatou
    project bears similarities to a number of large gold deposits in the
    West African craton;
      
    --   e.g. Essakane and Taparko in Burkina Faso, in being located on
        secondary splays off a major NE-trending shear (the Banifing Shear
        Zone), and;
          
    --  e.g. Sadiola, Tabakoto and Morila gold mines in Mali, in being
        spatially associated with a granitoid.
         
--  Table 1 below summarises the best drill intercepts from this campaign.

Rockridge president Karl Kottmeier commented, "We are excited to have made this
new discovery as it is on strike and more than a kilometre from the Fatou Main
Zone. The impressive gold grade in hole RCF 253 is greatly encouraging and
reminiscent of some of the results encountered in previous drill campaigns at
the Fatou Main Zone. I am also pleased to report to shareholders that, based on
a recent visit, the political and security situation in Mali is vastly improved.
Yesterday in Bamako, I.B. Keita was sworn in as president and his new government
will take office shortly. 


Rockridge technical staff are currently completing plans for our next
exploration program at Fatou and we expect to be back to work at the project
this fall."


The Fatou Gold Project

The Fatou gold project is located 270km southeast of Bamako, the capital of
Mali, approximately 20km north of the border between Mali and Cote d'Ivoire. 


The geological knowledge base for the 250km2 Fatou project has increased
substantially since the successful completion of a systematic exploration
programme that included location of and mapping of current and historical
artisanal miners sites, geological mapping, airborne geophysics, ground based IP
survey in selected areas, geochemistry soil grid sampling and selected traverse
sampling (i.e. Metal Mobile Ion - MMI sampling and auger drilling to 15m with
the sampling of the upper portion of the saprolite zone). 


Twelve (12) prospective targets have been identified, and named G1 to G12. Based
on geology and the nature of mineralisation, the area has been divided into a
Western Zone (targets G3 to G7 and G12), and an Eastern Zone comprising a
continuous mineralised corridor covering an 11km strike length (targets G1, G2
and G11) and non contiguous targets G8, G9 and G10 (Figure 1).


WESTERN ZONE NEW DISCOVERY - TARGET G12

Following the discovery of gold mineralisation in the Fatou Main zone (Target
G3), drilling was extended northwards into target G12 and has identified a
number of NNW-SSE trending mineralised linear structures. The best mineralised
intercepts were recorded in RC borehole RCF253 and diamond drill borehole
DDF116. The true thickness of the mineralised zone assumes near vertical dip as
determined from core orientation analysis of DDF116. 




--  RCF253 intersected 5.85 g/t Au over 12m (7.7m true thickness) between
    78m to 90m, including 11.16 g/t Au over 6m (3.8m true thickness) between
    80m to 86m.
      
--  DDF116 intersected of 1.45 g/t Au over 18.5m (9.6m true thickness)
    between 173.5m to 192m, including 2.56 g/t Au over 7m (3.8m true
    thickness) between 183m to 190m. 



Pervasive mineralisation is evident up to 7m from the high grade section. The
linear structures are similar in sulphide composition and alteration type to
that of the Fatou Main Zone (G3). Quartz veins associated with the
mineralisation in DDF116 dipped westwards. Future drilling of these structures
will be at an azimuth towards the east.


The geophysical response associated with the linear structures indicates a
potential NNW-SSE strike length of more than 1.8km.


Assays from 366 samples are outstanding (drill holes RCF246 to RCF253 (Figure
1)), which targeted linear structures in G12.

EASTERN ZONE

The previously described technical work has indicated the Eastern Zone to be
highly prospective. Several drilling campaigns between May 2010 and April 2012
were successfully completed and have identified a distinctive style of
mineralisation that shows great similarities to the Mana super pit, Wona-Kona
Mine, in Burkina Faso. Such similarities include silicification and deformation
in very pyritic graphitic schists, and alteration including chlorite and
carbonate. 


Boreholes DDF107, DDF110 and DDF111 showed pervasive mineralisation over
significant lengths in the core, and arsenopyrite was noted in DDF111. Whilst
assay results were disappointing in these holes, the nearby RCF255 intersected
1.19 g/t Au between 13 and 15m core depth (i.e. less than 10m below surface).
Gradient IP shows the trend of this auriferous zone over a 1.3km strike length,
and this requires further follow up. 


In the northern section of G2, continuation of gold mineralisation from the
Fininko area is evident with an intersection in hole RCF 245 of 1.18 g/t over 3
metres between 166 and 169m core depth.


In borehole DDF109 (the borehole that most typifies a Wona pit analogy) several
quartered 1m borehole core samples were sent to an independent laboratory in
South Africa and the best assay grades over 1m recoded were 1.95 g/t, 0.92 g/t,
0.56 g/t, 0.55 g/t and 0.40 g/t. The mineralising system is obviously
auriferous. 


There are some 253 outstanding assays in the eastern section, the vast majority
in G1. Further drilling is planned to follow up this highly prospective zone.


Peter M.C. Camden-Smith, M.Sc., G.D.Eng., M.B.L., Samrec 400078/94 is the
Qualified Person for the Company under NI 43-101. All samples from the 2013
drilling campaign reported herein were collected on site and sent to SGS
Laboratory in Bamako for analysis. The company inserts independent certified
standard samples in addition to the blank and lab duplicate samples in each
batch of 20 samples. The lab also inserts in-house blanks, standards, and
duplicates with each batch.
