As mill start-up operations continue, the average mill throughput is currently 10 tonnes per hour. The operators will continue to evaluate the overall performance of the mill and will make process changes and upgrades to maximize overall throughput and recovery The mill is located in close proximity to Rocmec’s Rocmec I (Russian Kid) gold property and is equipped with the Merrill Crowe system, a direct cyanidation process with gold precipitation. The mill will be used primarily to process the mineralised ore extracted from the Rocmec I (Russian Kid) property. Subject to the approval of TSX Venture Exchange, Rocmec also informs that it has closed the last tranche of the gold loan previously announced by way of a press release dated June 1st, 2006. The company received $500,000, bringing the total to $2,000,000 of the gold loan financing. A cash commission totalling 10% was paid. Rocmec’s growth strategy is to focus on the development of quality assets that will significantly enhance shareholder value. Exploitation of narrow high-grade precious metal quartz veins with its exclusive thermal fragmentation process coupled with conventional mining methods will lead the Company in becoming a mid-size gold producer. The acquisition, development and future exploitation activities at the recently acquired Rocmec I (Russian Kid) property are an excellent example of this strategy.

The Company’s exclusive thermal fragmentation process combined with its growth strategy place it as the partner of choice for the development of narrow high-grade precious metal quartz vein properties.
