Rockhaven Resources Ltd. Enters into Letter of Intent to Acquire Mineral Assets from Strategic Metals Ltd.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - (Marketwire - Nov. 6, 2007) - Rockhaven Resources Ltd. (CNQ:ROCK) (“Rockhaven” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter of intent dated November 1, 2007 (the “Letter of Intent”) to acquire certain mineral properties located in the Yukon Territory (the “Properties”) of Strategic Metals Ltd. (“Strategic”), a public company whose shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX VENTURE:SMD) as a Tier 1 company (the “Transaction”).

“This acquisition fits in with our corporate mandate of focusing in on early stage discoveries in well known mining camps,” stated Rockhaven’s President, Richard Graham. “In fact, the Plata silver-gold property shows many geological similarities to the Keno Hill Camp, which is the second largest silver producer in the history of Canadian mining and is an excellent addition to our North Abitibi gold project in the prolific Abitibi greenstone belt where diamond drilling is expected to resume as soon as ground conditions allows. The Transaction also gives Rockhaven geographical diversity, a heavy exposure to silver and an experienced geological management team to advance our growing property portfolio.”

Highlights of the Transaction

Pursuant to the terms of the Letter of Intent, the purchase price for the Properties shall consist of 8,000,000 common shares in the capital stock of Rockhaven (the “Consideration Shares”) at a deemed purchase price of $0.375 for aggregate consideration of $3,000,000. The Consideration Shares shall be issued in compliance with available prospectus and registration exemptions contained in applicable securities law, and the parties acknowledge that the Consideration Shares issued to Strategic shall be subject to a 3 year escrow with the release provisions to be in compliance with the escrow requirements contained in the policies of Canadian Trading and Quotation Systems Inc. (“CNQ”). Strategic also acknowledges that the issuance of the Consideration Shares will result in Strategic becoming a “control person” of Rockhaven, and that, accordingly, in addition to the agreed escrow release provisions, the Consideration Shares will also be subject to the restrictions on resale applicable to “control persons” under applicable securities legislation.

Completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including, but not limited to, the entering into of a formal agreement between the Corporation and Strategic, the receipt of all required regulatory and shareholder approvals, as applicable and the successful completion of the transfer of a minimum of 925,000 common shares of Rockhaven to Strategic including certain shares that are presently subject to escrow restrictions. There can be no assurance that the Transaction will completed as proposed or at all.

The following is a description of the Properties to be acquired pursuant to the Transaction:

The Plata-Inca Silver-Gold Property (Yukon Territory)

The Plata-Inca property is the principal property being acquired in the Transaction. The Plata-Inca property consists of 149 mineral claims located 165 km north of Ross River in the Mayo Mining District of the Yukon. Gold-silver-lead-zinc mineralization occurs in a series of subparallel high angle fissure veins; in a shallowly dipping vein developed within a thrust zone; and, in a poorly defined stockwork zone in hornfelsed sediments.

The veins were discovered in the late 1960s and have since received intermittent exploration totaling approximately C$6 million. About 2,100 metres of diamond drilling in 25 holes and 260 metres of underground development has been completed. In addition, more than 2,000 tonnes of galena rich material have reportedly been mined and shipped to smelters at an average grade of approximately 5,450 grams silver per tonne and 68% lead. A historic resource for mineralization in the No. 4 zone was calculated in 1996 and totalled 453,592 tonnes at a grade of 397.71 grams silver per tonne, 3.77 grams gold per tonne and 10% combined lead and zinc (Yukon Minfile). Rockhaven does not consider the historical estimates as current mineral resources. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources. The historical estimate should, therefore, not be relied upon.

Results from a 1998 infill rotary drill program on the No. 4 vein included 1,203 grams silver and 3.95 grams gold over 2.72 metres; 1,700 grams silver and 4.48 grams gold plus 7.53% lead and 2.96% zinc over 1.22 metres and 895 grams silver, 2.85 grams gold, plus 5.54% lead and 1.58% zinc over 3.04 metres. Of the sixteen holes drill, thirteen hit significant mineralization while three were terminated due to poor ground conditions.

The No. 6 zone comprises three areas of mineralization with an aggregate length of 420 metres with trench values yielding an average grade of 444.78 grams silver, 0.56 gram gold per tonne plus 3% combined lead-zinc.

The No. 17 zone lies 400 metres along strike to the northwest and is marked by a 400-by-75 metre silver-gold anomaly running more than 10 parts per million silver and 50 parts per billion gold. The No. 6 and 17 zones, along with several other identified prospects on the property have never been drill tested.

During 2007, Strategic completed an airborne magnetic and VTEM survey over the entire property package. The mineralization and geology at the property is very similar to those deposits that comprise the Keno Hill District, approximately 150 km to the west. The Keno Hill District is the second largest silver producer in the history of Canadian mining.

Ancillary Properties

As noted above, besides the Plata-Inca property, the Transaction also includes two other ancillary properties. The Groundhog Silver property consists of 104 mineral claims located within the St. Cyr Range of the Pelly Mountains in the Watson Lake Mining District of the Yukon and the Zap Base Metal property consists of 50 mineral claims located 105 km northeast of the village of Mayo in the Mayo Mining District of the Yukon.

The foregoing disclosure is based on exploration data and geological reports provided by Strategic, which have been reviewed and compiled by Richard A. Graham, P. Geol., who is president of Rockhaven and a “qualified person” for the purpose of NI 43-101. All geological information provided in this press release, including all information on the Properties has been provided by management of Strategic and has not been independently verified by management of the Corporation.
