Rockland is exploring for Beryllium, a lightweight, super-strong element that plays a pivotal role in some of the most advanced technologies shaping the future.
Beryllium is a lightweight metallic element used in a wide variety of specialty and industrial applications. As a function of its unique chemical and physical properties, such as a high stiffness-to-weight ratio, resistance to temperature extremes, and high thermal conductivity, beryllium cannot be easily replaced by substitute materials in applications where combinations of these properties make it the material of choice.
Rockland has built a strategic portfolio of beryllium mineral assets across North America. Our projects include the Meteor, Beryllium Butte, and Claybank properties, all of which are in close proximity to Materion Corp's Spor Mountain Mine, the largest beryllium producer in the world.
The Spor Mountain Mine in Utah is the largest beryllium producer in the world. The deposit has been mined since 1969 and is one of only three major beryllium deposits in the world that are economically viable. Beryllium mined from the Materion’s open-pit operations occurs as the mineral bertrandite, which is also found on Rockland's properties.
Maiden Drilling: Proposed drilling would focus on the Saddle Zone target, primarily to determine the size and tonnage of the mineralized zone at depth and along strike.
Target Generation: Mapping and sampling to confirm historical beryllium results plus look to expand on known mineralized zones.
Target Generation: Mapping and sampling to confirm historical results, believed to be found in the mineral beryl that occurs in pegmatite dikes.
