ROCKWELL TO DRILL NEW VOISEY'S BAY-TYPE DISCOVERY IN QUEBEC
March 11, 2002, Vancouver, B.C. - Ronald W. Thiessen, President and CEO of Rockwell
Ventures Inc. (CDNX: RCW; OTC-BB:RCKVF) is pleased to announce that final preparations
are underway to commence core drilling in mid-March at its Haut Plateau
Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project. The Haut Plateau property is a new Voisey's Bay-type
discovery located in east-central Quebec. Exploration at Haut Plateau by Falconbridge in
2001 resulted in the discovery of three zones of sulphide mineralization and initial core
drilling intersected appreciable concentrations of nickel, copper and cobalt over substantial
widths. Rockwell has an option to earn a 60% participating joint venture interest in the
property from Falconbridge Limited.
Drilling by Rockwell and Falconbridge in 2002 will initially target the Barre de Fer zone. Barre
de Fer was uncovered by trenching in the area of a geophysical conductor indicated from an
airborne geophysical survey. Four of five discovery holes drilled at Barre de Fer in 2001
intersected significant nickel-copper-cobalt mineralization, including 9.4 metres grading
1.48% nickel, 0.66% copper and 0.11% cobalt and 10.4 metres grading 1.32% nickel,
0.51% copper and 0.10% cobalt. This initial drilling traced the mineralization over 200 metres
of strike and 200 metres down dip. The discovery is open along strike and down dip. The
objective of the current drilling, of approximately 12 holes totalling 2000 metres, is to outline
the full configuration of the Barre de Fer mineralization.
