ROCKLAND RESOURCES ACQUIRES THE CLAYBANK BERYLLIUM PROJECT NEAR THE SPOR MOUNTAIN BERYLLIUM MINE

Rockland Resources Ltd. has acquired the Claybank beryllium project in Juab county, Utah, located five kilometres northeast of Spor Mountain, the largest global beryllium producer operated by Materion Corp. Claybank connects via a 4.5 km spur to the paved Brush Highway that is used to ship ore from Spor Mountain's mining operations to its treatment plant located 15 kilometres northeast of Delta, Utah. The location of Claybank relative to Spor Mountain and to Rockland's Beryllium butte project is provided below.

"We are very excited to acquire Claybank which along with our Beryllium butte project to the west, strengthens our mandate to become a force in the niche global beryllium market," stated Mike England, chief executive officer of Rockland. "The global demand for beryllium is growing and Utah is the home of the largest source of beryllium in the world, making it an easy decision where to focus our efforts. Our next steps at Claybank will be to confirm historical results with the intent to expand the historic mineralized zone."

Claybank beryllium project

The Claybank beryllium project consists of two unpatented claims with a contiguous area of roughly 16 hectares (40 acres). The property saw historical drilling in 1987 with 31 vertical drill holes distributed along strike of an altered Tertiary tuff that is the host rock for bertrandite ore being mined at Spor Mountain. Nineteen of the drill holes were closely spaced and identified a zone of beryllium mineralization roughly 70 metres along strike of the tuff. Historical assays for the mineralization zone reported drill hole intercepts from 0.25 to 0.65 per cent Be.

Note that the historical data reported for Claybank has not been confirmed by the company -- historical results must be treated with caution when considering the potential economics of a deposit. The resources at Spor Mountain mine are not necessarily indicative of what may exist at Claybank.

A spring reconnaissance surface sampling and mapping program over the Claybank property will commence once weather and access become favorable.

Terms of the acquisition, which was finalized on March 19, 2025, call for cumulative cash payments of $400,000 (U.S.) plus the granting of a staged release of one million warrants of the company at 15 cents. A 2.5-per-cent NSR (net smelters return) will be granted to the vendor of which Rockland can purchase back, at any time, one percent for $1-million (U.S.). No finders' fees were incurred in the acquisition of the project.

The company also announces it has set 25,000 options to a consultant of the company at 15 cents for a period of two years in accordance with the company's stock option plan.

The technical contents of this news release have been reviewed by David Taff, CAPG, CPG, a consultant to Rockland and a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101.

Exploring for tomorrow's technology

Rockland Resources is advancing critical metals exploration and is specializing in beryllium at its strategically located Beryllium butte and Claybank projects in the Spor Mountain region of Utah, United States. Spor Mountain is home to Materion's (NYSE: MTRN) Spor Mountain mine, the largest beryllium producer in the world and continuously mined since 1969.
