Rogue Resources Announces Start of Exploration on Lac de la Grosse Femelle Silica Project

Rogue Resources Inc. is pleased to announce that line cutting crews have been mobilized in preparation for exploration on the Lac de la Grosse Femelle silica project located approximately 42 kilometres ("km") north of Baie-Saint Paul, Québec, situated on the St. Lawrence River, and 4 km northeast of Sitec's operating silica mine.

"The exploration drill program has been designed to help the Company further interpret the "G" and "D" quartzite structures and incorporate these structures into a resource estimate planned for early 2016," commented Company President and CEO, John de Jong. "Our first priority is to determine the widths, strike length and structures along the east-northeast trending quartzites as well as follow up on high purity silica assays of samples taken in September, 2014."

2015 EXPLORATION PLANS

MAY/JUNE 2015

EXPLORATION PURPOSE

Work planned at surface is to physically define the high purity silica zones along the quartzites of Zone E and Zone G (sample J210609 assaying 99.54% SiO2, see press release December 16, 2014) as well as localizing the quartzites of Zone D.

A second phase airborne geophysics program will be completed to better define the widths, strike length and structures along the east-northeast trending quartzites. This information will help define future drill targets.

GEOLOGICAL SURFACE MAPPING/IDENTIFICATION OF QUARTZITES

  • Immediately following the line cutting, geological surface mapping identifying the high purity white quartzites and tracing their extents will begin.

CHANNEL SAMPLING

  • Samples and channel sampling will be taken from the areas identified through the mapping process. These samples will be sent for assaying immediately.

GROUND GEOPHYSICS

  • Fifty eight (58) km of lines are being cut at an orientation of N30°W. Geophysics on the cut lines will be performed with ground Magnetometer and Radiometric instruments. The work at surface is to physically define the high purity silica zones along the quartzites of Zone E and Zone G (sample J210609 assaying 99.54% SiO2, see press release December 16, 2014) as well as localizing the quartzites of the Zone D.

AIRBORNE HELI-VLF GEOPHYSICS SURVEY

  • An airborne Heli-VLF geophysics survey will be conducted by GPR International over the Femelle Project with 316.5 line km flown at an orientation of N30°W spaced at 100 m. This survey is designed to better define the widths, strike length and structures along the east-northeast trending quartzites and is planned to be completed prior to the end of May.

BASELINE DESKTOP STUDY

  • A base line desktop study has been initiated by WSP of Québec City, QC to identify and catalog physiographic sensitive areas on the claims (marshes, creeks and lakes), fauna and flora present at Femelle. In addition, the study by WSP will provide guidance on community relations, available labour and services in the region, tourism in the area and any uses of the land near Femelle (i.e. hunting, fishing, recreation and mining - Sitec). WSP will also be outlining guidelines and studies that will be required during the progression of the exploration program, advanced exploration and development stage. During the upcoming drill program, WSP will be identifying what data must be collected for geotechnical studies, environmental reviews, rock mechanics and sample analysis.

JULY/AUGUST/SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2015

EXPLORATION PURPOSE

Results of the geophysics airborne VLF, ground magnetics and radio-metrics, geological mapping, and assay results of collected samples will be compiled and integrated into the existing airborne geophysics to generate favorable and prospective high purity quartzite drill targets for the planned drill program.

Planned drilling is designed to determine the extent of Quartzite Units "G" and "D", including their purity, depth, width, and the length of extensions beyond what is visible on surface.

DRILLING

  • Drilling will commence immediately upon the compilation of the information collected in the previous months and is scheduled to be completed by mid-to-late November. Drilling at Femelle will be temporarily suspended during the moose hunting season.
  • Assay samples will be collected throughout the drill program and will be reported as results are received from the assay lab.
