ROCMEC INTERSECTS 214 G/T GOLD OVER 2.4 M ON THE BOUCHER GOLD
ZONE AT ROCMEC 1
Pointe-Claire, Quebec, October 30th,
2007 – ROCMEC MINING INC. (the �Company�) (TSX-V: RMI) (FSE: D5O) is
pleased to announce results from a second surface diamond drill hole from the
northern segment of the Rocmec 1 Property. A total of 10 drill holes for 2,500 m will be completed
in the coming months, all to test the vertical extents and grades of known
mineralized structures on the property that already include the Front (West), McDowell, Talus, Shaft,
Boucher and Boucher 2 veins. In addition to the first hole
RS-01-06 (refer to the news release dated
November 9th, 2006), that intersected at
a depth of 400 metres a new
mineralized structure (Boucher Zone) with an apparent thickness of 34.75 metres grading
51.8 g/t over 0.82
metres, the second hole, RS-02-07
also intersected a mineralized quartz structure grading 214 g/t gold over 2.4 m (true width has not yet
been determined), located 140
metres from the first hole. The following table outlines
assay results* for the vein:

* Samples were analyzed by the Fire-Assay method with gravimetric finish at Expert
Laboratories, Rouyn-Noranda (Quebec).
In order to have a better
understanding of the newly intercepted structures including the Boucher zone,
the campaign will continue over the coming months with holes being drilled from
surface to vertical depths of -500 metres.
� We are extremely confident that the final results of the current drill
campaign will significantly enhance the resource potential of our Rocmec 1
property �, stated Mr. Donald Brisebois, President & CEO.
The Rocmec 1 Property
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.
This news release has
been prepared and revised under the supervision of Mr. Jean
Lafleur, P. Geo., Director and Technical Advisor of the Company.
