Rockland Resources Ltd. announces it has uncovered drill hole data dating back to the 1930's from its 100% owned Cole Gold Mines Property. The Cole Gold Mines project is located in the western portion of the prolific Red Lake gold district of northwestern Ontario. A deep dive into public historical records for the project has found data from a drill hole completed in the 1930's, among other occurrences still being processed, from a separate area than where past underground exploration had occurred at the Cole Gold Mines property.

Hole DDH-12, drilled by Cole Gold Mines and located approximately 450 meters southwest from the historical underground workings, intersected over 3.5 meters of vein quartz in schist with gold values in quartz and visible gold in the fractures. This surface hole was drilled to the southeast at a -60 dip, and is very shallow, at only 39 meters in depth, with the intercept approximately halfway down the hole. Limited drilling by Rockland in 2021, cut short by forest fires in the region, did not test this intercept or the vicinity at all, as it was not known due to government restrictions of in-person access to the local Red Lake-Ontario Geological Survey archives during COVID.
