[{"type":"text","content":"Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - August 6th, 2025 - Rockland Resources Ltd. (the “Company” or \"Rockland\") (CSE: RKL) (OTCQB: BERLF) (FSE: GB2) reports the successful execution of field programs at its three Utah beryllium projects located in Juab County Utah. Geologists and geotechnical support visited the Claybank, Beryllium Butte and Meteor properties located within the Spor Mountain (Claybank), Honeycomb Hills (Beryllium Butte), and Trout Creek (Meteor) areas, part of the ‘Beryllium Belt’ as defined by Cohenour(1) and shown in the map below(2). Claybank – Only five kilometres east of Materion’s beryllium mines at Spor Mountain and connected by a paved road leading to their processing facility, Claybank is the most strategically positioned of the Rockland properties. A total of 31 samples were collected from historic stockpiles of altered volcanic tuff breccia believed to be the same unit mined at Spor Mountain. In 2014, twenty of the stockpiles were analyzed by Materion using a lab-based berylometer(3), with results showing a range from 770-3,216 ppm Be with a weighted average of 1,741 ppm Be(4). (Spor Mountain ore is presently mined at an average grade of 2,460 ppm Be(5)). The present sampling was conducted 15-25cm below the surface of each stockpile to ensure that fresh material was collected. There are no historical data to correlate the stockpiles with specific outcrops of the mineralized tuff at Claybank, but sampling was also carried out on the outcrops to provide some correlation. Based on in-house calculations, roughly 50 tons of material are represented by the stockpiles. Images of the stockpiles and the mineralized tuff outcrops are provided below. Mineralization at Claybank is constrained to an altered rhyolite tuff breccia positioned against a slump block of dolomite breccia and above a welded red rhyolite tuff. This geological arrangement is believed to have constrained the hydrothermal fluids that generated bertrandite within the tuff unit. An image of the geological section is provided below. A visit with the claimholder provided insight regarding areas of Be-enriched ore to be expected with further drilling and sampling at Claybank. The claimholder possessed two samples enriched in bertrandite (the primary ore mineral at the Spor Mountain Mine). As documented historically, purple fluori...
