Executive Summary

  • Rockland Resources reports visible gold intersected in the first two drill holes of its 3,000‑m diamond drilling program at the 100 % owned Cole Gold Mines Project in Red Lake, Ontario.
  • Hole RR‑26‑01 showed three visible‑gold intervals (0.40 m at 82.20–82.60 m and an additional intercept at 85.70 m).
  • Hole RR‑26‑02 intersected visible gold over a 0.20 m interval at 74.90–75.10 m and a deeper intercept at 187.00 m, the deepest hole to date on the property.

Key Details

  • Program Scope: Ongoing 3,000 m diamond drilling program targeting the historic Cole Gold Mine.
  • Drill Hole RR‑26‑01:
  • Visible gold from 82.20 m to 82.60 m (0.40 m interval).
  • Additional visible‑gold intercept at 85.70 m down‑hole.
  • Drill Hole RR‑26‑02:
  • Visible gold over a 0.20 m interval between 74.90 m and 75.10 m.
  • Deeper visible‑gold intercept at 187.00 m down‑hole (deepest hole completed to date).
  • Host Lithology: Gold mineralization occurs in deformed quartz veins, veinlets, and stockwork cutting broad silicified zones (7–30 m wide) with biotite, garnet, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, and occasional tourmaline.
  • Alteration Context: Silicified zones are flanked by strong biotitic alteration; prominent altered ultramafic/mafic dikes intersected, a favorable structural setting for gold in Red Lake district.
  • CEO Comment (Mike England): “Multiple occurrences of visible gold in each of the 2 initial drill holes is a very exciting start… Hole RR‑26‑2 contains the best occurrence of visible gold obtained to date and indicates mineralization continues to depth.”
  • Qualified Person: Danae Voormeij, P. Geo., registered professional geoscientist (EGBC) and newly appointed Chief Geologist for Rockland.

Notable Quotes

“Multiple occurrences of visible gold in each of the 2 initial drill holes is a very exciting start to this drill program… This intercept occurs beneath the Cole Gold Mine workings, indicating gold mineralization continues to depth which is very encouraging.” – Mike England, CEO & Director.
