Mr. Simon Ridgway, the President of Rackla Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:RAK), is
pleased to announce that the Company has completed the diamond drilling program
on the King Solomon's Dome (KSD) property announced on September 10, 2013. The
road accessible property, optioned from Kestrel Gold Inc., is located in the
heart of the Klondike goldfields, roughly 30 km southeast of Dawson City in the
Yukon Territory. 


Three diamond drill holes were completed (1,191m), spaced approximately 250 to
300m metres apart, to test known quartz veins, surface rock and soil geochemical
anomalies and resistivity and induced polarization (IP) geophysical anomalies.
The holes were drilled on a westerly to south westerly azimuth and inclined
between 52 and 55 degrees. The drill core is currently being logged and sampled
and results will be announced as they become available. A map of the drill
collars is shown on Rackla's website at www.racklametals.com.


Holes DDH 13-01 and DDH 13-03 tested an IP anomaly east of the main Sheba vein.
Hole DDH 13-02 drilled through the Sheba vein and part of the IP anomaly on the
west side of the Sheba vein.


The holes successfully intersected the target IP chargeability anomalies. The
target anomalies appear to correlate with zones of increased sulphide content
which appear to be up to tens of metres in width. The sulphides consist mainly
of pyrite cubes in the host wall rock schist but also include trace amounts of
disseminated and quartz veinlet controlled galena and sphalerite associated with
silicification. The results of previous trench sampling at the KSD property
indicate that elevated sulphide levels of this nature often correlate with
increased values of gold and silver (see Kestrel news release dated December
16th 2011.)


Drilling intersected cross cutting quartz veins, including limonitic and
sulphide bearing quartz veins, from near surface to depths greater than 200m
downhole. The quartz veins are often proximal to intermittent zones of altered,
siliceous, locally brecciated and fractured chlorite schist with elevated levels
of disseminated pyrite and pyrite along foliaform fractures.

background information on the KSD property.
