Rockland Resources Congratulates Kairos Power and Google on Nuclear Energy Collaboration

Vancouver, British Columbia — August 20, 2025 — Leads & Copy — Rockland Resources Ltd. (CSE: RKL) (OTCQB: BERLF) (FSE: GB2) has lauded Kairos Power and Google for their collaboration with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). The agreement involves power from Kairos’s Hermes 2 Generation IV small modular reactor (SMR) offsetting Google’s data center electricity demand starting in 2030.

The agreement marks industry milestones, including the first commercial Gen-IV PPA, with TVA contracting power from a fluoride salt-cooled high-temperature reactor, and Google securing clean energy attributes for up to 50 MWe of carbon-free baseload power. The Hermes 2 is designed to deliver 50 MWe from a single unit, supported by the DOE’s Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program, moving towards a broader goal of bringing 500 MWe of advanced nuclear online by 2035.

With new reactor designs advancing, demand for critical minerals like beryllium is expected to rise. For example, a Hermes-2 reactor requires ~3.6 t Be, while a large-scale FHR needs ~40–55 t Be.

"At Rockland, we view this agreement as a pivotal moment for advanced nuclear energy and critical minerals alike,” said Will Rascan, President of Rockland Resources. “Just as Kairos and Google are charting a path to decarbonize power for AI data centers, Rockland is working on its portfolio of beryllium projects located in the premium world production Spor Mountain district of Utah.”

Beryllium is used in aerospace, computer, telecommunications, electronics, medical, satellite, clean energy, and defense sectors. Rockland Resources specializes in beryllium discovery and development at its Meteor, Beryllium Butte and Claybank projects in the Spor Mountain region of Utah.
