Rockgate Revises Global Resource Estimate, Falea Uranium-Silver Project, Mali

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - May 15, 2009) - Rockgate Capital Corp. (TSX VENTURE:RGT) (the "Company") has been advised by independent consultant Golder Associates that the uranium results announced in the Company's May 14, 2009 news release are incorrect and must be restated. The reason for the restatement is based on the misinterpretation by Rockgate's chief geologist of the uranium results stated in the Golder Associates report. The net effect of the restatement is a lowering of the uranium resource by approximately 17%. The silver resource estimate remains the same.

Tables #1 and 2 below contain the corrected total mineral resource at Falea, tonnes and grade at 0.03% U3O8 cut-offs based on ordinary Kriging and uncapped and capped values respectively. The total resource at Falea entails the Central, North and Bodi Zones combined. U3O8 and Silver values are rounded to nearest 1000. The complete Golder Associates report will be available on SEDAR within 45 days.

- Using the 0.03% U3O8 cut-off and capped values the North Zone contains a total resource of 13,989,000 pounds U3O8 and 21,676,000 ounces of silver representing 75% and 98% respectively of the total resources at Falea. Refer to Table # 3 for the North Zone resource.
