ROCKLAND RESOURCES ACQUIRES THE CLAYBANK BERYLLIUM PROJECT NEAR THE
SPOR MOUNTAIN BERYLLIUM MINE
Vancouver, British Columbia, March 25, 2025, Rockland Resources Ltd. (the “Company” or
"Rockland") (CSE: RKL), is pleased to announce the acquisition of the Claybank Beryllium Project in
Juab County, Utah, located five kilometers northeast of Spor Mountain, the largest global beryllium
producer operated by Materion Corp. (NYSE: MTRN) (1). Claybank connects via a 4.5km spur to the
paved Brush Highway that is used to ship ore from Spor Mountain’s mining operations to their
treatment plant located 15 kilometers northeast of Delta, Utah. The location of Claybank relative to
Spor Mountain and to Rockland’s Beryllium Butte Project is provided below.
LC247418-1
“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, CEO 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 drillholes were closely -spaced and identified a zone of
beryllium mineralization roughly 70 meters along strike of the tuff. Historical assays for the
mineralization zone reported drillhole intercepts from 0.25-0.65% Be.(2)
The images below show the location of Claybank relative to the Spor Mountain Mine , and the
locations of the mineralization zone defined from the historical drilling.

The Claybank Beryllium Project (yellow rectangle) is provided in more detail in the expanded view below.
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 indic ative 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
