TORONTO, May 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rogue Resources Inc. (TSX-V:RRS) (“Rogue” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on the Company’s Snow White quartz project, located near Massey, Ontario, Canada (“Snow White” or the “Project”). The final drill hole of the previously announced drill program (the “Drill Program”) is in progress and should be completed by the end of May (see press releases dated April 30, 2018 and May 15, 2018).  The core is currently being logged, sampled and analyzed by the Company’s geotechnical team and service providers.  As part of the geochemical analysis, samples will be sent to Dorfner ANZAPLAN GmbH (“ANZAPLAN”), the metallurgical lab in Germany that Rogue has used for testing quartz since 2016.

Additionally, Rogue has selected M.Plan International Limited (“M.Plan”) to prepare an initial mineral resource estimate for the Main Zone at the Snow White Silica Project and a technical report (the “Resource Report”) that complies with the requirements of National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and to be filed by Rogue in compliance with NI 43-101.  M.Plan is a joint venture between ANZAPLAN and Micon International Limited (“Micon”) formed specifically to provide consulting services in the specialty minerals sector.  The M.Plan team has already visited Snow White and will develop the Resource Report over the coming weeks.

“Our team has worked hard to complete the drilling safely and efficiently at Snow White over the past month.  We are excited by the visual results and look forward to the results of the geochemical analysis and modelling now underway.  We remain on track for completing the Resource Report”, said Sean Samson, President and CEO of Rogue Resources. “Given Rogue’s experience with ANZAPLAN and the expertise of the M.Plan team, they were a natural fit for this work.  Once completed, Rogue anticipates the Resource Report will confirm the volume of high-quality Snow White Silica mineralization, and provide further comfort to our potential customers.”

Rogue has also agreed to amend the terms of the share purchase warrants (“Warrants”) issued to subscribers upon closing of a private placement by the Company on April 6, 2018 (the “Amendment”). The subscribers to the Offering were SCR Mining and Tunnelling L.P. together with certain of its affiliates (the “Subscribers”). The Subscribers are strategic operating partners of Rogue (see press release dated March 8, 2018) and they received Warrants entitling the holder thereof to purchase one common share (“Common Share”) at an exercise price of $0.45 (the “Exercise Price”) until May 31, 2018 (see press release dated April 6, 2018). Subject to, among other things, TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) approval, Rogue has agreed to extend the term of the Warrants to March 31, 2019 and to add an acceleration provision whereby the Warrants will expire upon notice by the Company in the event that a volume weighted average price of the Common Shares exceeds the Exercise Price for five consecutive trading days. The Amendment remains subject to regulatory approval, including approval of the TSXV.

“We continue to work very closely with SCR and want them to remain positioned to help finance our potential advancement decision.  This Amendment was developed in coordination with them, and the acceleration provision addresses the risk of creating an additional, ongoing overhang in our capital structure,” explained Sean Samson.
