Rockland Resources Further Defines Beryllium Targets on The Lithium Butte Property, Utah - Seite 2

Beryllium

Beryllium is a high-value, essential, light metal with wide applications in the aerospace, computer, telecommunications, electronics, medical, satellite and defence sectors. Beryllium is considered a critical mineral by both the Canadian and US governments. Beryllium on the Lithium Butte property occurs as the beryllium mineral bertrandite, which is also mined from the Spor Mountain open-pit operations, by Materion Corp. ("Materion"). The Spor Mountain operations are the largest source of beryllium in the United States, accounting for approximately 63% of the world's annual production in 2020. Showings of bertrandite mineralization are rare in the USA, with the prospects on the Lithium Butte property representing only the second documented occurrence in Utah (Critical Minerals of Utah, Circular 120, Utah Geological Survey, 2020).

Juab County

Juab County is an active exploration and mining area, with beryllium produced by Materion from the Spor Mountain mine, gold exploration and production at the Tintic Mine by Osisko Development Corp, and drilling and exploration at the Tintic project by Ivanhoe Electric.

Program QA/QC - Samples taken to date were transported in sealed bags by the Company personnel and shipped to Activation Laboratories ("Actlabs") in Ancaster, Ontario. Actlabs is an independent ISO/IEC 17025 certified laboratory. Lithium analysis was performed using sodium peroxide fusion and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). As part of the QA/QC program Rockland geologists included blanks and certified reference materials (CRM) with the soil samples. No significant deviations from expected grades with blanks or CRMs were noted.

Lindsay Bottomer, P.Geo., a Qualified Person as defined in NI43-101, is responsible for reviewing and approving the geological contents of this news release.

The Company wishes to further announce it has abandoned the Mexican Elektra Project due to uncertainties regarding tenures.
