Rockland is exploring for Beryllium, a lightweight, super-strong mineral 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’s permitted, drill-ready Beryllium Butte Project is located in Juab County, Utah, 185 km south-west of Salt Lake City. The project is prospective for beryllium mineralization and located only 30km west of Materion Corp.’s currently producing Spor Mountain Mine.
Rockland is currently exploring the Saddle Zone Target, which features good samples.
The Saddle Zone Target is interpreted to have strong similarities with the Miocene Spor Mountain Formation that hosts beryllium deposits currently in production at the Spor Mountain Mine.
Initial drilling will be focused on the Saddle Zone Target, where an initial grab sampling program returned significant beryllium concentrations with assays of up to 4,810 ppm Be.
