ROCMEC INTERCEPTS SEVERAL NEW GOLD STRUCTURES
AT ROCMEC 1 PROPERTY
Pointe-Claire, Quebec, June 27th, 2007 – Rocmec Mining inc. (the « Company » or « Rocmec ») (TSX-V: RMI) (FSE: D50) is pleased to announce that within its current exploration program at the Rocmec 1 Gold Property, the Company, by way of underground diamond drilling on the 90 metre level has intercepted several new gold structures. Highlights from the current drill program include:
· The new gold structures extend over more than 150 metres in length, are open at depth and laterally with east/west extensions;
· The structures were intercepted on the north side, far beyond the known McDowell and Talus veins, and are located roughly 30 metres from the principal decline;
· The best interval, in RU-06-24 contained visible gold, and carried 21.29 g/t gold over 0.43 metres.
A development drift is currently being driven into one of the structures. The vein contained within the structure has actual average width of 0.50 metres. Current underground diamond drilling is targeted on testing the eastern extensions of the structures, following which, over 2,000 metres of diamond drilling will be conducted towards the western extensions where previous sampling returned grades in excess of 150 g/t gold.

The Rocmec 1 property includes 11 claims totaling 84 hectares and is located in Dasserat Township, some 35 km from 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 east-northeast, centimetric and metric wide quartz veins, dipping moderately to steeply to the south, within a kilometric long by 600 meter wide gabbro to granodiorite intrusive host. There are at least six major vein systems identified on the property. The veins are part of diverging and converging, or 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 metres. 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 metre long strike length, to a 315 metre depth, carrying an average of 6.07 g/t gold capped at 45 g/t over a 0.82 meter horizontal width.
A National Instrument 43-101 compliant report, providing technical data relating to the quantified mineral resources dated March 19, 2007, prepared by Systèmes Géostat International Inc. of Blainville, (Quebec) Canada is available on www.sedar.com.
