Rockland Starts Field Program at Schefferville Gold Property, Quebec

Rockland Minerals Corp. (TSX VENTURE:RL) (the "Company") announces that it has
commenced a follow up field program to define drill targets and take further
samples from Company's Schefferville gold property, Quebec. Rockland recently
reported widespread gold values in surface grab samples from iron-stained
outcrops at the Rusty Acres zone. 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. In addition, a
lone grab sample from one of the mineralized areas at Rusty Acres returned a
gold assay of 171.5 g/t Au, a value higher than anything previously reported in
the literature and confirms the attractiveness of this target area. An updated
map from the summer sampling program can be seen on the Company website at
www.rocklandminerals.ca. 


The program will be lead by George F. Sanders, Dr. Serge Cheve and Gennady
Ivanov of IOS Services Geoscientifiques Inc. The goal of the program is to
further understand the widespread gold occurrences in the Rusty Acres area. The
high resolution "draped" aeromagnetic survey flown in April, and the encouraging
assay results from field work in July, now give a much better understanding of
potential structures and controls for the gold mineralization. Rockland
geologists will mark drill targets for a planned winter drill campaign using
this new information. 


George F. Sanders, P.Geo, a director of the Company, is the Qualified Person

Rockland has a 55% interest in the Schefferville Gold claims, in both the
northern and southern blocks, with 45% Joint Venture partner Western Troy
Capital Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:WRY). 


We seek Safe Harbor.
