ROCKLAND RESOURCES REGAINS WAPISTAN PROJECT, JAMES BAY, QUEBEC

Vancouver, British Columbia, October 4^th, 2024, Rockland Resources Ltd. (the “Company” or "Rockland") (CSE: RKL) announces that the Wapistan project in the James Bay region of Quebec optioned to Recharge (“Recharge”) Metals Ltd. based in Perth, Australia (see PR dated June 14, 2023) for lithium potential has been returned to the Company. Recharge cited a weak lithium market as the principal reason for not fulfilling the option on the Wapistan property. Recharge’s exploration activities on the Wapistan project were principally focused on lithium targets, but the previous owners, Northern Superior Resources Ltd. (“Northern Superior”) in a PR (dated April 5^th, 2022), stated:

“The Wapistan property has the potential to host one or more of the following Archean mineralization styles:

• Orogenic gold mineralization (gold-silver plus or minus copper);
• Ortho-magmatic base metal mineralization (nickel-copper-cobalt-PGE (platinum group elements));
• Iron-oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) mineralization (Fe-Cu plus or minus uranium);
• Copper porphyry mineralization (gold-silver-copper-zinc);
• Banded iron formations.”

The Wapistan Project is a large land package comprised of 219 claims (10,722 hectares) over two claim blocks (Wapistan East and West). The property is accessed by all-season roads, hydro and has two nearby communities offering exploration and mining services.

The Wapistan East Property is underlain by approximately 20 kilometres of a major structure developed in an Archean-aged volcanic-sedimentary package (the Yasinski Group greenstone belt).  Whereas the Wapistan West property is underlain by approximately 11 kilometres of the Yasinski Group rocks. Northern Superior (Press Release dated May 16, 2017) indicated:

“…These volcanic-sedimentary rocks within the Wapistan property host multiple gold and other precious metal occurrences (see attached table) in rocks similar to those associated with the Roberto deposit (now the Eleonore Mine (owned by Newmont Corporation) and the Eau Claire gold deposit (Fury Gold Mines.), also located within this emerging mineral exploration and mining region.”
