Rockland Minerals Corp. (TSX VENTURE:RL) (the "Company") is pleased to announce
impressive, widespread gold values in surface grab samples from iron-stained
outcrops at the Rusty Acres zone on the Schefferville Gold Project, Quebec. The
results had several higher grade samples including 12.75 g/t Au, 4.94 g/t Au,
4.42 g/t Au, 3.64 g/t Au. A lone grab sample from one of the mineralized areas
at Rusty Acres returned a gold assay value higher than anything previously
reported in the literature and confirms the attractiveness of this target area.


These grab samples were taken by Rockland geologists, and represent rock chips
collected over an area sufficient to provide the best "representative" gold
value for the rusty rock outcroppings. Out of a total of 324 grab samples from
Rusty Acres, there were fourteen samples above one gram-per-tonne gold, mostly
in the 3-4 g/t Au range. A total of 30 grab samples had in excess of one-half
gram, and an impressive 116 grab samples had over one-tenth gram gold,
highlighting the bulk tonnage potential throughout the Schefferville Gold
Project. These new assay results and map can be seen on the Company website at
www.rocklandminerals.ca.


Sample number #81790376 had 171.5 g/t Au confirmed by re-assay with gravimetric
finish. This is significantly higher than the historical maximum gold values in
the 15-20 g/t range previously reported from this property. Pathfinder
multi-element geochemical data from this high-grade sample shows iron, sulfur
and arsenic contents typical of the gold-bearing Precambrian iron formations
sampled so far in the district, plus highly anomalous pathfinders antimony and
bismuth.


George F. Sanders, P.Geo., a director of the Company, and qualified Person under
NI 43-101 responsible for the technical content of this news release states:
"Receipt of such a high fire-assay gold value is very exciting, and it shows
where there's geochemical "smoke" there's fire. However, it doesn't change
Rockland's focus on discovering more near-surface disseminated gold on the
project. Drilling results on this property have proven that we can commonly
expect meter-plus widths of 1-4 g/t Au, within wide envelopes of highly
anomalous gold in excess of one tenth of a gram. This single high-grade sample,
with its distinctive pathfinder geochemistry and probable free gold, is a
game-changer for this district, and will shed light on the origin and
distribution of the gold."


Rockland geologists will visit the Schefferville Gold Project with these results
in-hand before the end of September to do follow-up sampling and to define drill
targets. Rockland has a 55% interest in the Schefferville Gold claims, in both
the northern and southern blocks, with Joint Venture partner Western Troy
Capital Resources Inc. (45%) (TSX VENTURE:WRY).


We seek Safe Harbor.
