Rockland Minerals Corp. announced that diamond drilling has encountered plus 1 g/t Pd values in Cu-Ni-PGM zones at the known outer margins of the Blue Lake massive sulfide lenses, Labrador Trough, Quebec. Hole 14 drilled 2 meters of 0.22 g/t Pt, 1.1 g/t Pd, 0.5% Cu, and 0.2% Ni.

Hole 13 encountered two strongly mineralized zones; 1.6 meters of 0.18 g/t Pt, 1.2 g/t Pd. 0.5% Cu and 0.3% Ni at 148.90 m, and 1.2 meters of 0.16 g/t Pt, 0.77 g/t Pd, 0.67% Cu and 0.41% Ni at 162.40 m. Both drill holes tested the outer margins of the Blue Lake # 2 sulphide lens. Hole 10, located over 1,000 meters outside of the nearest known lens, near the southern property boundary next to Anglo American, drilled 28.72 meters of disseminated Cu-Ni-PGM mineralization.

The drilling results from the outer margins of the known lenses and southernmost property boundary confirm the significant tonnage potential of the Blue Lake historical deposits. Historical drilling largely concentrated on defining known mineralization. Rockland's 2012 drilling program shows that significant "step-out" potential exists.

All results have been received and all drilling encountered strong intervals containing precious metals values, copper and nickel, located at the base of meters-thick massive sulfide bodies, occurring at the bottom of the "middle peridotite" sill hosting the Blue Lake deposits.
