Permitted Beryllium Butte Project Receives Drill Permits

VANCOUVER - Rockland Resources Ltd. has received drill permits for its Beryllium Butte Project located in Juab County, Utah. Initial drilling will be focused on the Saddle Target where past sampling returned continuous chip samples from outcrop over 25.5m averaging 1,142 ppm Beryllium (Be), with a higher-grade portion returning 2,423 ppm Be over 6.13m. The Saddle Target is interpreted to have strong similarities with the Miocene Spor Mountain Formation that hosts beryllium deposits currently in production. Associated values of rubidium and cesium are strongly anomalous in the Saddle Target area and are useful pathfinder metals.

CEO Mike England, said, “With the need and applications for beryllium rising rapidly we are excited to get back to work on our Beryllium Butte Project in Utah which is located in close proximity to the world's largest producer of beryllium. We feel we are in the right place at the right time.”

The Saddle Target is interpreted to have strong similarities with the Miocene Spor Mountain Formation that hosts beryllium deposits currently in production at the Spor Mountain mine, located 30 kilometres east of the property. The prospective beryllium-bearing tuff breccia unit has a limited subcrop/outcrop exposure, measuring 60 by 75 metres, overlain by alluvium/colluvium cover to the west, and younger volcanic tuffs to the north and east.
