Rockland Earns 100% of Retty Lake Cu-Ni-PGM Property, Labrador Trough, Quebec

Rockland Minerals Corp. (TSX VENTURE:RL) (the "Company") is pleased to announce
it has entered into an agreement to complete a 100% earn-in on the Retty Lake,
Cu-Ni-PGM property, Labrador Trough, Quebec. Rockland will pay (optionor) Ernest
D. Black a final payment of 1,600,000 common shares to compete the option. 


The Retty Lake claims surround the historical Blue Lake Cu-Ni-PGM massive
sulfides and contain strongly mineralized showings on-trend, most notably at
Starr Lake (Lac Retty Ouest), and at Berry Lake, adjacent to Anglo American's
large claim block. Geological studies based on new Rockland drilling are
beginning to define intrusive centres and magma conduits feeding the Retty Lake
ultramafic complex. Sulphur-contamination of these ultramafic peridotite magmas
by assimilation of black shales, rich in iron sulfide, created the Cu-Ni-PGM
deposits. In a scenario very similar to the Southern Raglan Belt further to the
north, the best mineralization occurs in the intrusive centres which are
"refreshed" with new ultramafic magmas. These multiple events led to
accumulation of massive Cu-Ni-PGM sulfides at the base of the intrusive sills,
which have been intercepted in drilling at Blue Lake, Starr Lake and Berry Lake.
Regional copper-palladium trace element geochemistry points to strong discovery
potential in these areas, as well as the Lost Lake, Nancy Lake and Terrier Lake
zones, which contain broad intercepts up to 30 metres thick of anomalous
Cu-Ni-PGM sulfides believed to be at the fringes of additional massive sulfide
lenses. New graphics on the Retty Lake targets will be posted to
rocklandminerals.ca. 


Rockland had approximately $620,000 in work commitments remaining on the Retty
Lake property and the final share payment to E.D. Black will eliminate the work
commitment. The amended option agreement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange
acceptance. Mr. Black will retain a 3% NSR on the property that is subject to a
buy-back right of the Company to repurchase the NSR for $3,000,000. George F.
Sanders, P.Geo, a director of the Company, is the Qualified Person under NI
43-101 responsible for the technical content of this news release.
