Rockland Retains Caracle Creek for Blue Lake Cu-Ni-PGM Project, Quebec

Rockland Minerals Corp. (TSX VENTURE:RL) (the "Company") is pleased to announce
that it has contracted Caracle Creek International Consulting Inc. (CCIC) to
help create a 3-D exploration model on the Blue Lake Cu-Ni-PGM historic resource
located in the southern Labrador Trough, Quebec. The Blue Lake deposits have a
total historical tonnage of 4.03 Mt at 0.85% Cu, 0.52% Ni and 0.84 g/t platinum
and palladium. This is a non-43-101 compliant resource established by drilling
in the 1960's and 1980's. Rockland is working to develop a current mineral
resource at Blue Lake and develop additional tonnage through exploration in the
Blue Lake camp.


The priority objective is to "see" the important sulphide lenses at Blue Lake
for the first time in a modern block model. This model will begin the data
verification process, and provide an exploration platform to expand the known
mineralization, unlocking the potential of this historic property. 


CCIC will assemble all available historical reports and produce plans and
sections of the deposit which will then be used to outline future exploration,
including outlining a drill program to verify and expand on the historical
resources reported to exist on the property. 


George F. Sanders, P.Geo, director and Qualified Person under NI 43-101
responsible for the technical content of the news release, states, "The Blue
Lake Cu-Ni-PGM historic resource has close to 500 drill holes which Rockland is
now compiling. Soon we will begin to visualize the Blue Lake massive sulfides in
a modern context, along with the other Cu-Ni-PGM properties elsewhere in the
Labrador Trough that came with the Blue Lake agreement. The historical data is
looking good, and this new work will guide our drilling this coming summer."
Historical tonnages at Blue Lake are referenced from Clark, T., and M. Wares,
2005.
