Rockland Resources Resumes Initial 2,500 Metre Drilling Program at Cole Gold Mines Property, Red Lake, Ontario

VANCOUVER, September 1, 2021 - Rockland Resources Ltd. (the "Company" or "Rockland") (CSE:RKL) is pleased to report that the Company has restarted its initial 2,500 metre drill program at the Cole Gold Mines Property, Red Lake Mining Division, Ontario. Rockland's program will test the historical gold resource and potential extensions of the mineralization down-dip and west of the Cole underground workings.

The drilling program was temporarily suspended on July 12, 2021 due to the extreme forest fire activity in the Red Lake District. The current restart follows the lifting of an emergency order on August 18, 2021 that allowed for the resumption of exploration activities.

Rockland's CEO, Mike England stated "It is great to have the drill turning again on our highly anticipated diamond drilling program at the Cole Gold Mines Property. This Property, located at the west end of the prolific Red Lake Greenstone belt, has only recently become accessible for exploration after the expiry of the Cole patents. Rockland's program is the first drilling campaign on the Cole Gold Mines Property since 1972".

Approximately 12 drill holes are planned for the initial program. In addition to testing gold mineralized veins that were developed by underground workings in the 1930s, several drill holes will target a newly recognized east-west trending magnetic low that is associated with known mineralization west of the Cole shaft. In addition, the Company has initiated overburden stripping in preparation for channel sampling on surface showings that expose mineralized quartz veins and associated shear zones.

Garry Clark, P.Geo, a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101, is the qualified person responsible for reviewing and approving the geological contents of this news release as they pertain to the Cole Gold Mines Property.
