Rockland Minerals Corp. (TSX VENTURE:RL) (the "Company") is pleased to provide
an update with regard to its exploration activities in Labrador Trough area of
NE Quebec. So far during the current field season Rockland has drilled the Retty
Lake Cu-Ni-PGE property, and has flown a detailed heli-mag survey over the most
promising portion of the Schefferville Gold property to guide follow-up field
mapping and sampling. 


A total of 1,500 meters was drilled in the NW Retty Lake area with 10 holes that
targeted known copper-nickel-platinum-palladium mineralization along a
significant trend that is largely covered by Rockland claims. The target middle
sill peridotite unit was intersected in all the holes, and significant
disseminated chalcopyrite (copper mineral) was observed in broad zones of the
host rock peridotite with highly favourable "net texture" of disseminated
sulfides. The drill core was shipped via rail from Schefferville, QC and has
arrived at the core processing facility in Chicoutimi, QC. It is now being
logged, saw cut and sampled, and assay results will be released as soon as
possible after each batch of samples passes strict quality assurance/quality
control protocols.


Follow-up fieldwork is now well under way on the northern block of Rockland
Minerals Corp.'s Schefferville gold property, using recently flown data from a
low-altitude draped heli-borne magnetometer survey on a 50 m spaced grid. The
focus of Rockland's 2011 geological fieldwork is on the Rusty Acres area, which
has never been drilled. Here, several clusters of plus-one g/t Au historic
surface samples in outcropping rusty, iron-formations are seen on the
compilation map. A total of 367 surface samples have been taken so far, and have
been shipped for assay. 


We seek Safe Harbor.
