Rockland Minerals Corp. (TSX VENTURE:RL) (the "Company") is pleased to announce
receipt of partial drill results from the Retty Lake Project claims immediately
adjacent to the Blue Lake Cu-Ni-PGE cluster, located in Labrador Trough, Quebec.
The Rockland results confirm the presence of strongly anomalous copper, nickel
platinum and palladium in the target rocks of the Retty Lake middle peridotite
sill. This middle peridotite unit hosts the adjacent Blue Lake Cu-Ni-PGE
deposits which Rockland recently optioned. Drilling results also confirm 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.
Highlights include, 4 meters grading 0.20% copper, 0.62% nickel, and 0.32 g/t
combined platinum-palladium in the upper peridotite sill at Berry Lake. Hole
849-1 also encountered silver mineralization in sulfide-rich black shale in the
Nancy Lake area, where a 2-meter intercept (from 110.17 to 112.17m) reported 444
g/t Ag and 0.19% Cu by Atomic Absorption analysis, representing a new target for
follow-up drilling. Partial drill results:

New Staking 

Based on these results, Rockland has staked 18 new claims covering fold axes
within the Retty Lake Syncline structure, to protect the most favourable
targets. This compliments recent staking of the Berry Lake Syncline structure to
the east of Blue Lake by Anglo American, which ties-on to the Rockland Berry
Lake claim block. 


George F. Sanders, P.Geo, a director of the Company and the Qualified Person
under NI 43-101 responsible for the technical content of this news release,
states: "These results confirm the next exploration targets in this highly
prospective Cu-Ni-PGE play with strong similarities to the Southern Raglan belt
in Quebec's Ungava region. We will offset these holes to zero-in on additional
sulfide lenses in a manner similar to exploration successes in the Blue Lake
cluster, where offset drilling by La Fosse approximately doubled the non 43-101
compliant tonnage drilled by Hollinger North Shore Exploration in the 1950's
through the 1970's. Rockland's new staking protects the keel of the big Retty
Lake Syncline, and covers the Terrier Lake Anticline structure, both highly
favourable targets for upgraded Cu-Ni-PGE values due to dynamic metamorphism
during folding."


Berry Lake

The Company's claims at Berry Lake contain a significant, large Cu-Ni-PGE
showing in the upper peridotite sill which daylights at the north end of the
large Berry Lake Syncline. This entire area was recently staked by Anglo
American -- right up to the Rockland property line. Mineralization in the upper
peridotite sill points to a "stacked" geometry not previously described in the
district, and Rockland encountered dyke-margin facies in several of the Retty
Lake drill holes, lending support to this idea.
