Rambler Reports Latest Drill Results at the Ming Mine
Drills 5.10 metres of 3.68 g/T Gold and 15.77% Copper
London, England & Baie Verte, Newfoundland and Labrador - Rambler Metals and Mining plc (TSXV: RAB, AIM: RMM) is pleased
to announce further positive drill results from its underground diamond drilling exploration program at the Ming Mine.
Highlights include the following assay results:
Drill Hole Sample Length Au Cu
RMUG08-46 2.20 m 0.41 g/t 2.75 %
RMUG08-56 13.90 m 0.82 g/t 2.42 %
including 1.70 m 6.53 g/t 18.35 %
RMUG08-57 2.20 m 1.05 g/t 5.12 %
RMUG08-60 17.20 m 1.20 g/t 5.70 %
including 5.10 m 3.68 g/t 15.77 %
RMUG08-61 3.95 m 1.47 g/t 5.25 %
RMUG08-62 2.95 m 2.45 g/t 5.28 %
Ming Massive Sulphide Horizon (South Zone)
During the historical production period of the Ming Mine, ore was extracted primarily from the Ming Massive Sulphide
Horizon. Due to lower metal prices at the time, much of the ore on the periphery of the deposit was deemed uneconomical
to extract. In view of the present favourable market prices for copper and gold, Rambler has designed part of its
ongoing underground diamond drill program to define the extent of these unmined zones. These zones of high-grade
mineralization, which are close to present development, could increase cash flows in the early years of production,
reducing the initial capital investment required for start-up and improving the overall project economics.
The second underground drill rig is expected to arrive at the end of May and will focus on delineating the near
development massive sulphide zones, as well as the potential high-grade gold mineralization associated with the massive
zones.
Surface Program
After a number of years of continuous drilling the directional surface program officially ended April 2008 with the
culmination of our first published NI43-101 resource estimate. The last holes from this program have returned
encouraging results however Rambler believes that future exploration can be better achieved through underground drifting
from existing levels. RM08-21 was designed to test the highly promising 1807 Massive Sulphide Zone 100m down plunge of
any existing intersection to date.
In the next few months Rambler will be conducting a Titan 24 DCIP and MT ground geophysical survey over Rambler Property
adjacent to the known deposits. This survey will aim to identify massive sulphide drill targets and will also be useful
in helping the Rambler team unravel the structural history of the area by identifying more favourable horizons of
mineralization. The Titan 24 system has the ability to effectively search for conductive bodies up to 1 km in depth,
far beyond the capabilities of any previous geophysical surveys completed in the area.
George Ogilvie, P.Eng, President and CEO, Rambler commented;
"The underground diamond drilling is now beginning to discover high grade massive sulphides with associated gold that
were not previously mined. We are confident that with the addition of a smaller second underground drill further success
can be achieved in discovering new areas of mineralization. It's also important to bear in mind that these results were
not considered in our recently published NI43-101 but will be included in the resource update that we expect to publish
later in the year."
The table below summarizes the widths, grades and drill station of the recent holes. All underground drill holes
targeted the up plunge extension of the Ming Massive Sulphide Horizon (South Zone).

All tonnes are dry metric tonnes.
Drill intercepts quoted are core lengths; true widths for the Gold Zone and Ming Zone are estimated to be in excess of
60% 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.
