Permit Approval For Maiden Drill Program On Lithium Butte Property

VANCOUVER - Rockland Resources Ltd. announced the approval of the Notice of Intention to Commence Exploration (NOI) for the maiden drill program on the Lithium Butte Property, located in Juab County, approximately 185 kilometers southwest of Salt Lake City, Utah. Approval was issued by the State of Utah, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Oil, Gas and Mining (DOGM), in conjunction with the Bureau of Land Management ("BLM"). This also includes a cultural review by the BLM Fillmore, Utah field office. The proposed reverse circulation ("RC") drill program is designed within a 2.23 acres disturbance area and the required reclamation surety (bond) of US $40,100 will be posted shortly.

The Lithium Butte Property hosts claystone volcanic tuff breccia units interpreted to be highly prospective for lithium (Li), beryllium (Be) and rare earth mineralization. Company sampling has returned up to 4,080 parts per million lithium (ppm Li) from a grab sample and channel sampling returned 25.2 meters at 1,388 ppm Li, including 8.0 meters at 2,155 ppm Li and 0.7 meter at 3,540 ppm Li. Multiple prospective targets have been indicated and the maiden RC program is designed to test for both lithium and beryllium mineralization.

Mike England, Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are grateful to the DOGM and the BLM for an efficient and professional permitting process. We are looking forward to completing the first modern (since the 1960s) drill program on multiple targets on the Lithium Butte property this summer."
