Ming Massive Sulphide Horizon -1806 Zone

The latest results from the diamond drilling program have returned exceptional gold mineralization directly adjacent to
the now de-watered underground development near the north boundary of the Ming Massive Sulphide. The mineralization and
alteration in the new drilling is very similar to that seen on the 1807 access drift, also reported in this release.

The gold zone's alteration package has been recorded over a length of 550 metres at the 650, 740, 920 and 1600 levels
and remains open both up and down plunge. The true thickness is estimated to be in excess of 10 metres while the full
strike length of the zone is yet to be determined. New drill bays are being developed on the 400, 1020, and 1400 levels
to further delineate this 1806 zone which will be included in the NI43-101 resource update due to be released in 1Q2009.

Rambler is also pleased to announce that the first access drift to the 1807 zone is now complete and has intersected
high grade massive sulphide on the -329m elevation grading 12.83% copper over 2.40 metres and 12.55% copper over 2.60
metres. The true thicknesses of these holes are estimated to be in excess of 75% of the reported core length. Along this
drift we have also assayed areas which we believe to be the 1806 zone with diamond drill holes returning average grades
of 4.22 g/t and 2.70 g/t gold over 1.20 m and 4.00 m respectively. New drilling has been planned for this area to test
the extent of the mineralization.

The 1806 zone was first discovered on the 1800 level during the closing days of the historic mine. However, no ore was
extracted from this level, which is approximately 1000 metres in plunge length from surface, leaving this entire area
open for exploration. These drill results continue to demonstrate the high resource potential of the under-explored Ming
Property.

George Ogilvie, P.Eng and Chief Executive Officer, Rambler commented;

"We are very pleased by the latest drilling results which indicate that there could be a significant gold resource in
addition to the 155,000 ounces of gold currently defined within our NI43-101 resource estimate. This un-mined resource
is very close in proximity to our main ramp which would allow us to minimize capital and operating costs to mine the
zone. The growing gold signature on the property is very encouraging as it has the potential to add value and
flexibility to our mine plan, in turn creating value for our shareholders."

Drill intersections quoted are core lengths; true widths for the Gold Zone and Ming Zone in this release are estimated
to be a maximum of 50% 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.
