Lower Footwall Zone
Delineation drilling of the Lower Footwall Stringer Zone is progressing well and has returned some
very encouraging results. The envelope of footwall mineralization is larger than originally modeled
from the historic drilling and there appears to be higher grade zones within the lower footwall with
better than 2% copper. In addition to these positive findings, the new footwall drilling has returned
elevated gold grades in a number of intersections. This grade of gold has never been reported in the
lower footwall zone and if sizable will have a significant impact on the updated NI43-101 resource
statement to be released early in 2009. Further work is ongoing to determine the extent of this
mineralization and its controlling structures.
Of the contracted 20,000 metres, 16,000 metres have already been drilled with much of the new drilling
focused on untested areas between the 1800 and 2600 levels. This new infill drilling has allowed for a
better understanding of the nature of the deposit, cross cutting mafic intrusives as well as tighter
control of the mineralization in the footwall zone.
George Ogilvie, P.Eng, President and CEO, Rambler commented;
"We have been extremely pleased with our underground diamond drilling campaign to date which is
confirming our initial assumptions that the Lower Footwall Zone grade is improving with depth. This
bodes well for our long term mining plan while creating significant opportunity for further
mineralized extension now that the mine is de-watered. The ore block for the Lower Footwall Zone as
defined within our NI43-101 will soon be drilled off on 50m centres producing a resource in the
indicated category. It is then our intention to undertake infill drilling on 25m centres in areas with
higher grade to move these resources into the measured category which then allows a mineable reserve
to be calculated. This exercise moves us one step closer to production."
The table below summarizes the widths, grades and drill station of the recent holes. All underground
drill holes in this release targeted the Lower Footwall Zone.

All tonnes are dry metric tonnes.
Drill intercepts quoted are core lengths; true widths for the Gold Lower Footwall Zone are estimated
to be in excess of 90% of the intersected core lengths. Analytical results for Rambler core are first
determined at Eastern Analytical, Springdale, NL. Samples are then shipped by courier to Activation
Laboratories Ltd.("Actlabs'"), Ancaster Ontario, where a 34 element ICP analysis and gold fire assay
are performed. The results presented in this release are based on assay data from Eastern Analytical
and Actlabs'. ActLabs' data, being the accredited lab for this project, will supersede all other
results.
