Rockland Minerals Corp.: Retty Lake Drilling Confirms Stacked Cu-Ni-PGE Mineralization in Multiple Horizons, Labrador Trough,...

Rockland Minerals Corp. (TSX VENTURE:RL) (the "Company") is pleased to announce
that hole 849-10 extends the strongly anomalous Cu-Ni-PGE mineralization
discovered during this summer's drilling program at the Retty Lake Cu-Ni-PGE
property, located in Labrador Trough, Quebec. Holes 849-9 and 849-10 were
drilled 200 meters apart in the Berry Lake area, immediately adjacent to a large
claim block recently staked by Anglo American, and they both intercepted a broad
zone of anomalous Cu-Ni-PGE greater than 20 meters thick in the upper peridotite
sill. This latest assay report showed 4.4 meters grading 0.19% copper, 0.50%
nickel, and 0.29 g/t combined platinum-palladium in hole 849-10. Rockland's
drilling confirms the existence of "stacked" Cu-Ni-PGE mineralization in
multiple horizons, similar to new discoveries in the southern Raglan Belt in
Quebec's Ungava region. All drill core assays have been received from the Retty
Lake Project.

Rockland's drilling at Retty Lake outlined several zones of highly anomalous
Cu-Ni-PGE mineralization in the middle peridotite sill on-strike with the Blue
Lake deposits. New mineralization at Starr Lake (Lac Retty Ouest), Lost Lake and
Nancy Lake present follow-up targets which will be offset by step-out drilling
in a similar fashion to the discovery holes in the Blue Lake cluster. The Berry
Lake drilling in the upper peridotite sill is highly encouraging, and confirms
the "stacked" nature of the mineralization in the Blue Lake / Retty Lake camp.
The two holes in the middle sill unit which were barren showed a very
interesting, "hybrid" texture whereby the original peridotite magma assimilated
the black shale country rock, possibly at a dyke-margin. Dyke structures have
not been described previously at Retty Lake / Blue Lake, and are part of the
emerging model of peridotite-hosted Cu-Ni-PGE mineralization in the southern
Raglan belt in similar age rocks to the north in Quebec's Ungava region.
