Drilling Report

14th February 2007 Rambler Continues to Encounter High-grade Copper in Multiple Zones London, England & Baie Verte, Newfoundland and Labrador - Rambler Metals and Mining plc (TSXV:RAB, AIM:RMM) is pleased to announce significant new results from its ongoing drilling program at its Rambler copper-gold project located in Newfoundland and Labrador. These new results have been identified from all three target deposits. Of particular significance are new high grade intersections from the newly discovered Upper Ming Footwall Deposit and the 1800 level area of the Ming West Deposit. - RM06-04l returns 16.4 feet of 5.20% copper including 6.56 feet of 10.70 % copper - RM07-18 returns 8.53 feet of 17.65 % copper with 3.5 g/T gold The Rambler project covers the historic Ming and Ming West copper-gold mines on the Baie Verte Peninsula on the island of Newfoundland. Exploration work is focused on evaluating and delineating the Ming Footwall deposit and the recently discovered Upper Ming Footwall deposit as well as seeking extensions to both the historic Ming and Ming West deposits. All of these deposits are located within reasonable proximity to the historic underground mine infrastructure, which the company is about to begin dewatering and rehabilitating. Upper Ming Footwall Deposit The Upper Ming Footwall Deposit is a new high-grade discovery that sits stratigraphically between the Ming Deposit and the Ming Footwall Zone. It ranges between 6.0 and 14.4 metres in thickness and is open both across strike and down plunge. The results reported below are from a hole located 50 metres down-plunge from the three previously reported holes that intersected the deposit. Hole From To Length Length Cu Au (m) (m) (m) (feet) (%) (ppb) RM06-04l 996.00 1001.00 5.00 16.40 5.20 310 including 996.00 998.00 2.00 6.56 10.70 586 Ming and Ming West Deposits The historical mine production from the Rambler Project originates from the Ming and Ming West massive sulphide deposits. These parallel, plunging deposits are on the same stratigraphic horizon and separated by 250 metres. A decline that extended to 820 vertical meters and a shaft that extended to 650 vertical meters facilitated historical production. At the time of mine closure it was estimated that 350,000 tons of 3.4% Cu and 1.7 g/T Au remained in the Ming Deposit and that 55,000 tons of 6.5% Cu and 1.1 g/T Au remained in the Ming West Deposit (near the 1800 level), adjacent to the former property boundary. These estimates are historical in nature and are not NI-43-101 compliant and therefore should not be relied upon (see notes below). The high-grade drill intersection reported below is from the Ming West Deposit. The intersection is located beyond the former property boundary and is approximately 50 metres down plunge from previous testing of the deposit.

Ming Footwall Zone The Ming Footwall Zone (MFZ) is located approximately 100 metres below and generally parallel to the historic Ming Mine workings. To date, the deposit has been identified along a 1500 metre plunge length and has an apparent width of 50 to 150 metres. The deposit thickness generally exceeds 20 metres, up to 70 metres and is being evaluated as a potential low-cost, bulk underground mining operation. New drill results from intersections of the MFZ are as follows: Hole From To Length Length Cu Au (m) (m) (m) (feet) (%) (ppb) RM06-04j 1054.70 1059.60 4.90 16.08 2.13 105 RM06-04j 1063.80 1071.90 8.10 26.57 2.00 72 RM06-04j 1084.00 1108.00 24.00 78.74 1.88 101 including 1084.00 1096.00 12.00 39.37 2.33 171 RM06-04k 1062.50 1088.00 25.50 83.66 1.81 102 including 1062.50 1074.50 12.00 39.37 2.24 149 RM06-04m 1077.70 1098.80 21.10 69.23 1.81 86 including 1077.70 1085.50 7.80 25.59 2.31 71 RM06-04m 1116.50 1136.70 20.20 66.27 2.01 71 RM06-04m 1137.90 1148.20 10.30 33.79 1.91 90 including 1139.50 1148.20 8.70 28.54 2.09 102 RM06-04m 1154.80 1163.50 8.70 28.54 2.29 131 RM06-04m 1176.00 1213.50 37.50 123.03 1.32 75 including 1176.00 1189.50 13.50 44.29 1.94 98 including 1201.50 1213.50 12.00 39.37 1.55 103 RM06-17a 652.25 658.25 6.00 19.69 3.61 444 RM06-17a 765.00 793.50 28.50 93.50 1.63 128 including 769.50 780.00 10.50 34.45 2.44 148 RM06-17d 792.90 797.67 4.77 15.65 2.75 352 RM06-17e 729.00 734.15 5.15 16.90 2.01 284 Delineation and exploration drilling continues at the Rambler Project employing two drill rigs both of which are successfully utilizing directional drilling technology. As underground dewatering and rehabilitation advances throughout the year a concurrent program of underground drilling will be initiated. The underground drilling program will greatly increase the rate of delineation drilling of the deposits which in turn will allow Rambler to more quickly evaluate potential mining scenarios.

Drill intercepts quoted are core lengths; true widths are estimated to be 90% to 95% of the intersected core lengths. National Instrument 43-101 compliance information regarding sampling and analytical protocols pertaining to the Rambler Project can be accessed via the following link: http://www.ramblermines.com Mineral exploration on the Rambler property is being conducted by RMM personnel. All drill holes have produced 47.6 millimetre diameter (1.875-inch) NQ diamond drill core. The drill core is descriptively logged on site, aligned, marked for sampling and then split in half, longitudinally, using a diamond saw blade. One-half of the core is preserved in core boxes for future reference. The samples comprising the other half of the core are bagged, sealed and delivered directly to the analytical laboratory by RMM personnel. Base metal-bearing samples are nominally 1 metre to 1.8 metres (3.28 to 5.90 feet) in length except where specific geologic parameters require that a smaller interval be sampled. Samples with suspected precious metal content are nominally one metre or less, depending on the geological circumstances. The sawed samples are delivered directly to Eastern Analytical Limited in Springdale, Newfoundland by RMM personnel where they are dried, crushed and pulped. Samples are crushed to approximately -10 mesh and split using a riffle splitter to approximately 300 grams. The sample split is pulverized using a ring mill to approximately 98% minus 150 mesh. In addition to regular samples, blank samples and quarter-split samples are also submitted for crushing/pulping. The sample pulps are picked up directly at Eastern Analytical Limited by RMM personnel and returned to the project site at which point analytical standard samples and duplicate samples are inserted into the sample stream. The quality control procedures utilized by RMM have been approved by Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. (Scott Wilson RPA). Their review was the basis of a technical report written by Scott Wilson RPA on the Rambler project conforming to NI 43- 101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. All sample rejects are also retrieved from Eastern Analytical by RMM personnel and securely stored by RMM. The sample pulps are shipped by courier to Activation Laboratories Ltd. in Ancaster, Ontario for analysis. A typical analysis consists of three, industry-standard components: (1) an aqua regia digestion followed by a 34 element ICP analysis, (2) a gold assay consisting of a one assay ton fire assay with finish by atomic absorption, and (3) an assay of specific base metals by aqua regia digestion followed by atomic absorption spectroscopy for those elements which exceed the limits of ICP accuracy. Check assays for the Rambler project are being conducted by ALS Chemex, using industry-standard techniques posted on their website. Check assays are also routinely performed at Eastern Analytical Limited. The drill program and sampling protocol are being supervised by Mark Graves, P.Geo.; a Qualified Person as defined under the Canadian Securities Administrators' National Instrument 43-101. Historical Estimates For the Ming Mine, the most comprehensive historical estimates available derive from a review prepared in 1982 by D.M. Burton ("Burton"). In 1997 Canamera Geological Ltd. ("Canamera") was commissioned to do a feasibility study on the Rambler Property for Ming Minerals and drew heavily on Burton's work. Canamera reported remaining estimates on the property. Canamera concluded that the outlined mineral resource would not support an economically feasible operation. Note that these estimations and resources definitions are not in compliance with Canada's NI 43-101. Burton (1982) classified the MFZ resources as "Possible". The other resources have not been classified by Canamera (1997). These estimates are historical estimates and which should not be relied upon. See the technical report on the Rambler property available at www.sedar.com for the full details and qualifications regarding these estimates.
