Executive Summary

  • Rockland Resources announces imminent commencement of a 2,500 m drill program at its 100% owned Cole Gold Mines project in Red Lake, Ontario.
  • The company is seeking earn‑in partners for its Utah beryllium assets (Claybank and Meteor projects) and will cease pursuit of the Beryllium Butte claim after a land use decision by the Bureau of Land Management.
  • Management emphasizes focus on the high‑grade Red Lake gold project, citing strong historic grades and extensive vein systems.

Key Details

  • Drilling Program – Cole Gold Mines (Red Lake):
  • Planned total depth: 2,500 m across three target areas (Area 1 – 3D‑modelled veins; Area 2 – historic hole 12 intersecting 3.7 m of high‑grade gold; Area 3 – Vein 6 with historic assays of 51.5 g/t Au and 64 g/t Ag).

  • Drill contractor to be engaged shortly; start date to be announced.

  • Historic Resource Context:

  • Over 30 mapped gold‑bearing veins, >100 visible gold counts on surface.
  • Historic drilling indicates mineralization down to ~320 m depth and open at depth.

  • Recent prospecting returned assays of 111 g/t Au and 145 g/t Au from quartz vein #20 (see Nov 26 2025 release).

  • Geological Setting:

  • Shear‑zone hosted quartz veins, typically 10 cm–2 m wide, strike lengths up to 300 m, dip 65°–75° north.

  • Veins commonly intersect diorite dykes.

  • Utah Beryllium Portfolio (Claybank & Meteor):

  • Management will seek earn‑in partners for both projects; interested parties invited to contact the company.

  • Beryllium Butte Claim:

  • The Bureau of Land Management has declared the land ineligible for mining; Rockland will not appeal.

  • Company expects refund of all annual fees paid and return of posted bond related to the claim.
