Significant Near Surface Tin-Copper-Zinc Mineralization From Ongoing Maiden Drilling At Bisie North Tin Project

VANCOUVER - Rome Resources Ltd. announced that, based on visual interpretation and Niton XRF analysis, it has identified zones of tin, copper, tin & copper, and zinc mineralization over a width of more than 200m at its Mont Agoma Prospect, which is located within the Bisie North Tin Project (BNTP).

The BNTP is comprised of two contiguous properties, exploration permits PR 13274 and PR 15130, which are situated in the Walikale District of the North Kivu Province in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The current drill program has been designed to test ~300m of potential strike of the newly defined high grade, contiguous tin in soil anomaly at the BNTP. The Company has now completed a total of 8 diamond holes totaling 1,464m.

Samples from the first four diamond holes have been submitted to ALS Global in Johannesburg with results expected in mid-April. Samples for the additional four diamond holes are in process of being sent to Lubumbashi for sample preparation prior to dispatch to ALS Global in Johannesburg.

Near surface tin mineralization has been identified in two parallel zones of 5m to 10m true thickness. Niton XRF readings have indicated the potential for up to 4% tin * over circa 1m intervals within these zones. Current drilling has focused on identifying the source of the >500ppm tin in soil anomaly at relatively shallow levels. Future holes will test the continuity, grade and width of identified tin zones at depth and along strike to the north and south where there has been no drilling.

Significant near surface copper mineralization was also intersected in two zones, one being anomalous in tin. The copper zones have a combined true thickness of 20 to 30m with the Niton XRF reporting grades of up to 4% copper. The associated copper in soil anomaly shows anomalous results which cover 2km along the northwest trend.

Highly significant near surface zinc mineralization has been identified in two zones in MADD001 and MADD002. Sphalerite (zinc) veins and coarse-grained disseminated sphalerite were observed over 100m of true thickness over the western zone where Niton grades of >10% zinc * are common throughout the sequence. Visually the eastern zone with a true thickness of 10m appears to be better mineralized in sphalerite (zinc) than the western zone. Both zinc zones are discrete with minor anomalous tin and copper.

In addition to the identification of tin, copper and zinc mineralization, the drilling has intersected gossans and gossanous quartz veins with potential for gold mineralization. This is supported by the associated gold in soil anomaly. Samples submitted for laboratory analysis will also be assayed for gold mineralization.
