Rockland Resources Completes Expanded 5,300-Metre Drill Program at Cole Gold Mines Project, Red Lake, Ontario

Rockland Resources announced completion of an expanded 5,300‑metre diamond drilling program (19 holes) at its 100 % owned Cole Gold Mines project in Red Lake, Ontario. The program extended the original 3,000‑metre plan, intersecting visible gold in multiple holes and confirming historic vein continuity to greater depths. New rheological‑contact vein systems were identified, and a drone‑based magnetic survey outlined a 4.5 km structural corridor interpreted as a dome‑style intrusive target. All core samples are undergoing fire‑assay (30 g/t Au baseline) with higher‑grade or visible‑gold material sent for metallic sieve analysis (50 g/t Au) and acid digest (≥ 4 % Au). CEO Mike England described the results as “extraordinary” and said assay data will be released as received.

• Novelty: The drill depth increase and discovery of new vein systems represent genuine progress beyond earlier updates, but the market already anticipated deeper drilling at Cole.
• Market reaction potential: Because assays are still pending, investors cannot yet quantify grade or tonnage uplift; therefore price impact is likely muted.
• Comparison to prior news: Earlier releases (Jan‑Mar 2026) detailed program start, early visible gold hits, and financing rounds. The current release confirms those expectations and adds depth extension, but does not fundamentally change the project’s economics yet.
• Conclusion: The announcement is a routine positive development—material in terms of project advancement but not market‑moving without assay results.

Rockland Resources Ltd. is a junior explorer focused on high‑grade gold projects in the Red Lake mining district, Ontario. Its flagship asset is the Cole Gold Mines Project, a historic mine with extensive vein systems, currently 100 % owned. The company also holds non‑core lithium (Wapistan) and beryllium (Claybank, Lithium Butte) claims, but has shifted focus to Cole.
