George Ogilvie, President and CEO commented:
"The processing of the East Mine Dump Pile from the historic mining camp represents a good opportunity for
Rambler to generate some early revenue prior to bringing the Ming Mine into production in 2H 2011. It also
highlights just one of many opportunities that exist within the Baie Verte Peninsula that the Company will be
evaluating in order to grow its business."
East Mine Dump Pile - Tilt Cove
The historic Tilt Cove mining camp saw production from 1864 to 1917 and then again from 1957 to 1967. The
second phase of mining produced nearly 7.4 million tonnes of high grade copper along with significant gold.
With the exception of basic mineral exploration programs the property has lain dormant since its closure in the
late 1960's.
The planned work by Rambler will see trucking of the unconsolidated East Mine stockpile 23 kilometres to the
company's hydrometallurgical facility. The East Mine Dump Pile is considered to be the original regolith
representing the surface expression of Tilt Cove's East Mine deposit. Recent assays from the stockpile reported
2 to 4 g/t gold while subsequent leachability test work proved the gold leach extraction to be 96 % over a 24
hour period. Further, a 600 tonne sample of the material was processed at the Company's Nugget Pond Facility in
November 2010 allowing for further test work and reagent optimization to be completed.
Once the project is officially registered and approved by the provincial authorities, Rambler is anticipating a
start date late in Q2 2011 just after mining and processing the Nugget Pond Crown Pillar.
