Rogue Resources Inc. is pleased to announce that it continues to advance the Lac de la Grosse Femelle Property, located approximately 95 km northeast of Québec City, and adjacent to the Mine Sitec silica mine, in operation for the past 50 years.
Airborne Heli-MAG geophysics surveys were flown over the Femelle Project on December 7, 2014, consisting of 316.5 line km of north-northwest oriented flight lines spaced at 100 m. The helicopter-borne radio-magnetometric geophysics survey was conducted by Geophysics GPR International Inc. The objective of this first phase exploration program of airborne geophysics was to better define the widths, attitudes and strike length of the east-northeast trending quartzites. A follow-up airborne VLF (very low frequency) geophysical survey to further define the quartzite units will be undertaken within the next several weeks and upon compilation will form the basis of conducting surface exploration.

Following the compilation of the VLF airborne data, and when ground conditions permit, line cutting, surface geological mapping and sampling of the quartzites at surface and at depths of 6 m to 12 m will commence. The work at surface is expected to begin in early May with a priority to define the high purity silica zones along the quartzites of the "G" quartzite unit as well as localizing the quartzites of the "D" quartzite unit. Results from surface mapping and sampling will be used to guide the upcoming drill program on the quartzites as well as for identifying new quartzite targets.
The airborne Heli-Mag survey produced total field magnetic and vertical gradient geophysics maps of the area. The samples collected in the quartzite unit "G" by Geologica Groupe-Conseil Inc., of Val d'Or, Québec, (press release December 16, 2014), occur on the southern margin of the lower magnetic expression. The samples assaying 99% or better in silica are associated with lower magnetic expressions and define widths of approximately 125 m, strike lengths of over 1 km and illustrates that the quartzites dip to the northwest. The quartzite unit "D" located 690 m southeast of the quartzite "G" unit also flanks the north side of the magnetic anomaly and extends east-northeast a strike length of over 1 km.

Ongoing discussions with a number of producing and past producing silica mine operators and owners has begun as well as sourcing potential buyers for silica. The Company continues its community consultations in the region with the various local groups (MRC de Charlevoix, MRC de Charlevoix Est, MRNQ in La Malbaie, the Mairie de St.Urbain, and Zec des Martes).
