Rockland Resources Ltd. Announces Advisor Chris Dorn as Incoming Chair of the BHSC
And Reports on the International Beryllium Meetings Recently Held in Cobourg, OntarioRockland Resources Ltd. (the "Company" or "Rockland") (CSE: RKL)(OTCQB:BERLF), is pleased to report on its experience at the Beryllium Health and Safety Committee (BHSC) Meeting that was held March 25-26th in Cobourg, Ontario. These international meetings are held semi-annually and focus on the safe handling and use of beryllium, including future applications in the clean energy sector. Representatives of Rockland in attendance included Mr. Chris Dorn, the incoming Chair of the BHSC and a member of the Rockland Advisory Board (see news release, March 3, 2025).
Mr. Dorn states "The BHSC 2025 Spring Meeting had over 110 in-person and virtual participants from across the world. Beryllium will play an increasingly important role in the development of clean energy, and the BHSC is committed to ensuring that its future applications happen in a safe and responsible way. As the incoming Chair of the BHSC, and as an Advisor to Rockland, I am excited to be a part of that process for beryllium, from its discovery in the ground to its ultimate use for a safer and more energy efficient world."
A highlight of the meeting was a presentation by MiRESSO, a fusion start-up company spun off by the National Institute of Quantum Science and Technology (QST) in Japan(1). MiRESSO is engaged in the construction of an energy-efficient, low-temperature facility for the extraction of beryllium from the mineral beryl. With Rockland's experience in beryllium exploration, informal discussions were started with MiRESSO to determine whether the Company can locate and develop beryl properties that would be in line with MiRESSO's future beryl needs.
Will Rascan, President of Rockland states "We are charting new territory in our discussions with MiRESSO, but we are prepared. We have a great team in place to explore for beryl in Utah, where we already hold a strong land position for bertrandite with our Claybank and Beryllium Butte Projects."
Utah, and in particular the Spor Mountain region, are known for a variety of beryllium occurrences, including beryl(2). Materion Corp. (NYSE: MTRN) is the world's largest producer of beryllium from bertrandite at its Spor Mountain Mine, which has been in continuous operation since 1969.
