Rockland Receives Drill Permit for Blue Lake Cu-Ni-PGM, Labrador Trough, Quebec

Rockland Minerals Corp. (TSX VENTURE:RL) (the "Company") reports that it has
received a drill permit from the Ministere des Ressources naturelles et de la
Faune du Quebec (MRNF) for the Blue Lake Cu-Ni-Pt-Pd property, located near the
town of Schefferville, in the heart of the Labrador Trough, Quebec. The Company
has mobilized fuel and supplies to its base camp in preparation for drilling
commencing in early July.


The Blue Lake sulfide deposits are nickeliferous pyrrhotite ores, with a copper
content twice that of nickel, containing significant platinum and palladium. The
historical tonnage, established in 1989, was 4.03 Mt at 0.85% Cu, 0.52% Ni and
0.84 g/t platinum and palladium. The Blue Lake historical deposits are located
within a Quebec Special Mining lease BEP-93, one of five Special Mining leases
optioned to Rockland from La Fosse Platinum Group. In addition to the Blue Lake
property, Rockland controls, the Retty Lake, Jimmick, Chance Lake, Glance Lake,
Fredrickson and Lac Aulneau properties, all in the southern Labrador Trough. The
Blue Lake area is ideally located as a positive mining destination,
approximately 60 km from the town of Schefferville, Quebec which has its own
airport and railhead. Rockland is systematically exploring this region and its
goal is to discover mineralization, confirm and expand tonnage on its property
holdings.
