Rocmec Mining Inc.: Start-Up Begins at Granada Mill

Thermal fragmentation...the way of the future for mining narrow vein precious metal deposits

Rocmec Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE: RMI) (Rocmec) and Consolidated Big Valley Resources (TSX-V: CBG.H) are pleased to announce the beginning today of mill start-up, less than 4 weeks after the acquisition from Beroma. The mill will process some of the low grade ore left by the predecessor actually stock piled at the mill site. The start-up will continue until mid-august and will be followed by the milling of ore from Russian kid presently hauled by truck.

Rocmec would also like to announce the closing of its last debenture financing for an amount of $850,000 previously disclosed in April 4th 2006 press release.

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 Russian Kid property are an excellent example of this strategy.

Rocmec Mining Corporation Inc. is a Canadian junior exploration company actively involved in the acquisition, exploration and development of precious metal projects. 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. The Company is listed on the TSX-Venture exchange and trades under the symbol: RMI
