Brian Grant, P.Geo, Joins Rockland Minerals as Senior Advisor

Rockland Minerals Corp. (TSX VENTURE:RL) (the "Company") is pleased to announce
that Brian Grant, P.Geo has joined Rockland's senior advisory team. Mr. Grant is
the former President of Goldbrook Ventures Inc., a public company recently
acquired by Jilin Jien Nickel Industry Co. Ltd. Goldbrook's Cu-Ni-PGM deposits
lie in the southern Raglan Belt of Quebec's Ungava region, and are geologically
very similar to Rockland's Blue Lake Cu-Ni-PGM deposits. Prior to this time, in
the 1970s, Mr. Grant played a significant role as a member of the Falconbridge
Nickel Mines Ltd. team which discovered and developed the Cu-Ni-PGM deposits of
the northern Raglan Belt. These are producing mines today.


Prior to joining Goldbrook, Mr. Grant was Director-Geoscience Initiatives with
the British Columbia Geological Survey. In addition, Brian's government career
has included consulting work for the Canadian International Development Agency
(CIDA), and work on inter-government projects in Peru. He brings a valuable
familiarity with government planning and permitting processes to the Rockland
team. Brian managed a successful exploration program for gold and base metals in
British Columbia with BP/Selco (Canada), and made uranium discoveries by deep
drilling along the Virgin River fault in the southern Athabasca Basin for
Uranerz Exploration and Mining Ltd. He has explored for diamonds in Africa, and
explored for base and precious metals in Peru. Mr. Grant has many years of
corporate and technical experience that will help Rockland as it develops its
mineral properties in the Blue Lake District, Labrador Trough, Quebec. 


Rav Mlait, President of Rockland Minerals, says, "The Rockland technical team is
being strengthened by the addition of Brian Grant. We expect the upcoming Blue
Lake drill program to deliver Cu-Ni-PGM results which will look to confirm and
expand the Blue Lake mineralization." 


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.


The Company has granted Mr. Grant (and Mr. Ernest Black, P.Geo, another Rockland
Advisor) 100,000 stock options each, exercisable for a period of five years. The
granted options have an exercise price of $0.20. 


We seek Safe Harbor.
