ABOUT ROCKY SHORE GOLD LTD.

Rocky Shore Gold is a focused Canadian exploration company targeting expansion of its two gold deposits and discovery of major gold zones at its 100%-owned Gold Anchor Project.

The district-scale project is the second-largest (greater than 1,200 square kilometres) property within an emerging gold district.

Numerous gold-bearing targets are within the project limits, and several are associated with the highly prospective Appleton and JBP Faults.
