-      Permitting for underground dewatering and rehabilitation underway



London - Rambler Metals and Mining plc is pleased to report that it has
intercepted the thickest and highest grade mineralization encountered to date
from drilling of the Ming Footwall Zone (MFZ) at the Rambler project located on
the Baie Verte Peninsula of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.  The results come
as part of the directional drilling program, which was announced on January
24th.



'These exceptional drill intersections are particularly important because they
are within 200-300 feet of the existing underground infrastructure.  This
includes a decline and a shaft that we intend to commence dewatering and
rehabilitating shortly,' commented Rambler Chairman Harry Dobson. 'While the
first phase of drilling widely spaced holes from surface during 2005 was slow
paced by necessity, we are pleased to be targeting reserve and resource
development in Phase II.'



Holes 4a, 4b and 4c are each offset approximately 50 metres from previously
reported Hole RM-04-04 (Hole 4).  The respective locations relative to Hole 4
and other completed drill holes can be viewed at http://www.ramblermines.com/.
The new results from the offset holes are summarized as follows. Zones in each
hole are listed consecutively and the intervening intervals represent sections
of later intrusive rocks that are unmineralized or sections of mineralization
grading less than 1% copper.

Delineation drilling of the MFZ is continuing with the objective of completing
offset holes at approximately 50 metre spaced intervals.  Hole 4d is currently
being drilled and a second drill rig is set up on previously reported Hole
RM-04-03. Hole 3a was recently aborted when it entered an area of open mine
workings above the MFZ target depths.  Hole 3b is currently in progress.



Given the proximity to overlying underground workings it is anticipated that
some of the holes required to delineate the area of mineralization at this
spacing will be best completed from underground drill stations.  To facilitate
this work the company has begun the process of obtaining the necessary permits
required to dewater and rehabilitate the Ming Mine infrastructure and it hopes
to begin this work during the summer.



The results from two additional drill holes completed since the most recent
reporting are located in areas more distant from the mine infrastructure.  These
targeted Ming Massive Sulphide (MMS) mineralization, which is a parallel,
overlying zone to the MFZ, in offset holes around previously reported hole
RM-05-08.  Both holes intersected copper and gold bearing massive sulphide
mineralization. The results for these as well as complete interval data for
holes 4a, 4b and 4c can be viewed at http://www.ramblermines.com/.

Exploration on the Rambler property is being conducted by Altius Resources Inc.
under a service agreement with Rambler Metals and Mining plc.  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 Altius 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 Ltd. in
Springdale, Newfoundland by Altius 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 by Altius
personnel and returned to the project site at which point analytical standard
samples and duplicate samples from previous batches are inserted into the sample
stream.  All sample rejects are also retrieved from Eastern Analytical by Altius
personnel and securely stored by Altius.



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.  The drill program and
sampling protocol are being supervised by J.Geoffrey Thurlow, Ph.D., P.Geo., of
VMS Consultants Inc. and a Director of Altius; a Qualified Person as defined
under the Canadian Securities Administrators' National Instrument 43-101.



About the Company

Rambler was established to invest in the base metal sector in politically stable
jurisdictions. Its principal project is the Rambler copper-gold property,
located on the Baie Verte Peninsula of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, which
is at the delineation drilling stage. Rambler acquired the property from Altius
Minerals Corporation in exchange for ordinary shares during 2005.



The Rambler property contains the former producing Ming and Ming West
copper-gold mines.  The Ming Mine last operated in 1982 and the Ming West Mine
in 1996. Mining of the Ming Mine ceased when workings reached a neighbouring
property boundary.  Rambler Metals and Mines acquired the property after it had
been successfully consolidated.



The Ming and Ming West Mines exploited relatively narrow zones of high grade
copper and gold mineralization.  Sections of this mineralization remain in the
lower part of the Ming Mine and it is open to depth.



In 2004, two holes were drilled to test the depth potential of the underlying
Ming Footwall Zone (MFZ), which was partially outlined nearer to surface by the
previous mining operator. These drill holes both returned wide zones of good
grade copper mineralization and the MFZ became a priority for delineation
drilling.



The first phase of drilling was carried out from April through December 2005 and
involved the completion of widely spaced holes from which offset holes could be
completed using directional drilling technology.  The directional drilling
program began in January of 2006 and holes are now being spaced at approximately
50 metre centres in order to delineate the mineralized areas.



A program of dewatering and rehabilitation of the Ming Mine underground
infrastructure is currently at the permitting stage.  This work is being
undertaken with a view towards accelerating resource delineation and, hopefully,
the resumption of mining operations on the property.
