January 8, 2026 TheNewswire – Vancouver, British Columbia Rockland Resources Ltd. (CSE:RKL,OTC:BERLF) (OTCQB:BERLF) (FSE:GB2) (“Rockland” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide the following corporate update on its operations in both Red Lake and Utah.
Red Lake, Ontario
Rockland is in the process of hiring a driller to soon begin drilling at its 100% proprietary flagship Cole Gold Mines project, located in the productive mining district of Red Lake, Ontario. Details about the drilling company and a start date will be announced soon.
The Cole Gold Mines property is home to more than thirty gold-bearing veins mapped on the property and more than one hundred counts of visible gold recorded on the surface. Samples of vein grabs have yielded high grades and gold is ubiquitous, but the grades are not always continuous throughout the stroke. Recent prospecting work on the property sampled veins outside the Cole Mine yielding 111 g/t Au and 145 g/t Au from quartz vein number 20 (see Nov 26, 2025 news release).

In late 2025, the veins at the Cole Gold mine were modeled in 3D using historic underground mine maps. Historical drilling shows that gold mineralization extends to a vertical depth of 320 meters and is open at depth. High-quality shoots have been identified, which are the primary focus of the planned 2,500 meter drill program (Area 1).
Historic drill hole 12 drilled into a lithological contact 500 meters southwest of the mine, where it intersected 3.7 meters of high-grade gold mineralization with exposed gold. This will be the second area of focus (area 2).
The third area of interest is Vein 6, where historical vein samples yielded 51.5 g/t Au and 64 g/t Ag over a 30 centimeter wide vein.
Mineralization on the site is associated with quartz veins that occur in the shear zone and often contact diorite dikes. The veins vary from ten centimeters to two meters wide and reach a stroke length of up to 300 meters. The shear zones run approximately east to west and the veins generally run 65-75 degrees north.

Utah:
With respect to Rocklands Utah’s beryllium portfolio consisting of the Claybank and Meteor projects, management has decided to seek revenue from partners for both projects. For more information about both projects, please visit https://www.rocklandresources.com/.
“Given the success and overwhelming interest in the historic Cole Gold Mines project, we have determined that it is in the best interest of shareholders that we focus our efforts and resources on Red Lake.” said Mike England, CEO of Rockland Resources Ltd. “We welcome expressions of interest from entities with an interest in our beryllium properties.”
Beryllium butte – The company said it will no longer pursue Beryllium Butte claims in Utah. The Bureau of Land Management has made the lands ineligible for any mining activity for reasons beyond the company’s control. The Company sees no merit in appealing this decision and expects to receive a refund of all annual fees paid to date in respect of such claims, as well as the return of the security deposit it paid in respect of the claims.

Rockland’s disclosures of a technical or scientific nature in this press release have been reviewed and approved by Danae Voormeij, P. Geo., who has been a registered professional geoscientist with Engineers and Geoscientists British Columbia (EGBC) since 2007.
