Rockland Intercepts 11 meters of 1.2% Cu, 0.46% Ni, 0.17 g/t Pt and 0.61 g/t Pd at Blue Lake, Labrador Trough, Quebec

Rockland Minerals Corp. (TSX VENTURE:RL) (the "Company") is pleased to announce
additional preliminary results from six holes (903-12-03 to 903-12-08) from the
Blue Lake Cu-Ni-PGM property located in Labrador Trough, Quebec. The drill holes
have encountered strong intervals containing precious metals values, copper and
nickel, located at the base of meters-thick massive sulfide bodies, occurring at
the bottom of the "middle peridotite" sill hosting the Blue Lake deposits. 


New highlights include:

A total of 16 holes were completed for 1,558 meters during July. The remaining
holes are currently being processed and assayed. The drill holes were
strategically spread across the Blue Lake Cu-Ni-Pt-Pd property to explore and
verify the Blue Lake massive sulfides. A new Blue Lake graphic has been posted
on our website www.rocklandminerals.ca along with complete analytical results
received to date. 


These drill results provide much needed new data from these sulfide lenses that
will allow the Company to develop a new block model for these historical
deposits. The Blue Lake mining lease is ideally located approximately 50 km from
the town of Schefferville, Quebec which has its own airport and railhead.


George F. Sanders, Rockland Director and Qualified Person for the technical
content of this news release under National Instrument 43-101, states, "The Blue
Lake ore samples commonly consist of almost pure iron sulfide (pyrrhotite),
which are notoriously difficult to fire assay, especially in the presence of
copper. The sample results are released provisionally and are continuing to go
through a rigorous QA/QC process, although final results on the high-grade,
copper-rich re-assays are not expected to change significantly at this point. We
are beginning to see widespread, disseminated Cu-Ni-PGM mineralization halos
around the Blue Lake massive sulfide lenses which were not systematically
analyzed in the past. These broad zones, up to 30 meters thick, are indicating
possible near-surface, open pit potential at Blue Lake."


Quality Control

Assaying of samples from Blue Lake drilling was conducted by Activation
Laboratories Ltd., Ancaster, Ontario, an ISO 9001 and ISO 17025 certified
organization. Assaying for precious metals was made by fire-assay on 50 grams
aliquots and lead buttons with ICP finishing, while base metals were analyzed by
ICP-OES after near-total multiacid digestion. A stringent quality control
procedure has been implemented both by Activation Laboratories and IOS Services
Geoscientifiques Inc. which included blanks, duplicates as well as various
certified reference materials. No contamination or inversion was detected.
Results on certified reference material are in approximate accordance with
recommended values. High grade samples (Cugreater than 0.1%) were re-assayed by
fire-assay on 10 grams aliquots, which properly repeated the values considering
the intrinsic variability of such material. The cause of this variability is
currently being investigated. The present cautionary note and results has been
approved by Rejean Girard, P.Geo, an independent Qualified Person under National
Instrument 43-101.
