ROCMEC
INTERSECTS NEW GOLD ZONES AT ROCMEC 1
Pointe-Claire, Quebec,
September 19, 2007 – Rocmec Mining
inc. (the �Company�) (TSX-V: RMI) (FSE: D5O) is pleased to announce that the
Company has initiated surface diamond drilling on the northern part of the
Rocmec 1 Property. A total of 10 drill holes for 2,500 m will be completed
in the coming months, in order to test the vertical extents and grades of known
mineralized structures, that already include the Front
West, McDowell, Talus, Shaft, Boucher and Boucher 2 veins.
The first
hole, RS-01-07, intersected a near surface mineralized quartz structure grading
28.01 g/t gold over 0.3 m,
which may represent the Boucher Vein. An additional four (4) veins that also
included a number of pyrite-chalcopyrite veinlets were drilled. The following
table outlines assay results* for the veins:

Mr. Donald Brisebois,
President & CEO states � (…) We are confident that results from the
current drill campaign will significantly enhance the near surface extent of
the gold mineralization of our Rocmec 1 property (…) In order to have a better understanding
of the newly intercepted structures, the campaign will continue drilling the
new vein structures to vertical depths of -500 m (…) The
prospect of adding copper in the gold system could have a positive impact on
the mineral resources (…) Rocmec is also determined to evaluating the
full copper potential of the mineralized system (…). �
About
Rocmec 1
The Rocmec 1
property is located in the Dasserat Township, some 36 km west of Rouyn-Noranda (Quebec)
in the Abitibi region of Quebec, in close
proximity to two World-Class Mining Camps, the Rouyn-Noranda Copper Gold Camp
to the SE in Quebec, and the Kirkland Lake
/ Larder Lake Gold Camp to the SW in Ontario.
The gold
mineralization at the Rocmec 1 property is linked to E-NE, centimetric and
metric wide quartz veins within a kilometric long by 600 m wide gabbro to
granodiorite intrusive host. There are at least six major vein systems
identified on the property; however, recent underground work by the Company has
confirmed that several veins are likely part of the same system, simply offset
by north trending faults. The veins are part of diverging / converging or an
anastomosing fracture system than includes shearing, alteration (silica, chlorite,
sericite, epidote and carbonate) and 2 to 10% disseminated and vein-type pyrite
that can attain overall widths in excess of 30 m.
The best
known vein system is termed the McDowell Zone that may include three different
vein sets, and has been recognized over a 1,650 meter long strike
length, to a 320 meter
depth, carrying an average of 6.07 g/t gold over a 0.82 meter horizontal
width.
A technical
report (dated March 19, 2007), compliant with National Instrument (NI)
43-101 standards of disclosure, was prepared by Syst�mes G�ostat International Inc. of Blainville
(Quebec) identified mineral resources of 521,800 tonnes @ 5.15 g/t gold (86,550 ounces of
gold) in the Measured and Indicated Resources category. There is an additional
2,250,000 tonnes @ 6.32 g/t gold (456,900 ounces of
gold) in the Inferred Resources category.
