ROGUE RESOURCES COMMENCES 5,000 METER DRILL PROGRAM AT THE FEMELLE SILICA PROJECT

Drill crews are on site and drilling has commenced on Rogue Resources Inc.'s Lac de la Grosse Femelle silica project, located approximately 42 kilometres north of Baie-Saint Paul, Que., situated on the St. Lawrence River, and four kilometres northeast of Sitec's operating silica mine.

• Assay results from quartzite channel sampling pending;
• Geological mapping under way;
• New pure white quartzite unit discovered;
• Airborne VLF (very-low-frequency) geophysical survey completed.

Drilling commences

The first of two drill rigs has arrived on site and has begun testing the extent of quartzite units G and D, including their purity, depth, width and the length of extensions below surface.

• Drilling at a rate of 24 hours per day is under way and is scheduled to be completed by mid-November to late November;
• First drill hole GF15-01 on the G quartzite unit has been completed;
• Pending results, the company may increase the initial 5,000-metre drill program.

"Added to the discovery of a new pure white quartzite unit at the Femelle project, considerable work has been completed prior to the start of our 2015 drill program, including line cutting, prospecting, clearing and cleaning quartzite outcrops, preparing drill sites, mapping, and channel sampling. All are 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 John de Jong, president and chief executive officer of Rogue Resources. "Our first priority is to determine the widths, strike length and structures along the east-northeast-trending quartzites and confirm the consistency of high-purity silica through drilling."

Project overview -- summer 2015

In preparation for the current drill program, line cutting, clearing and cleaning multiple quartzite outcrops, prospecting, mapping, conducting an airborne VLF geophysical survey, channel sampling, and the building of drill platforms began in May, 2015. This work was completed with the intention of defining the high-purity silica zones along the quartzites of zone E and zone G (sample J210609 assaying 99.54 per cent silicon dioxide; see press release dated Dec. 16, 2014), as well as localizing the quartzites of zone D.

Mapping

Mapping the property grid started on May 29, 2015, and was completed at the end of June on 22.8 kilometres of cut lines.

New quartzite discovery

Prospecting and mapping resulted in the discovery of a third quartzite unit 230 metres north of the main quartzite zone. This unit is 70 metres wide, is traceable over 400 metres and is a white coarse crystalline massive hard quartzite with little or no staining.

The main quartzite has been mapped as an 80-metre-wide quartzite with a strike length of 1,580 metres. The quartzite is white with pink colouring with fractures that are pronounced, coarse, massive and hard.

Another quartzite unit was located south of Femelle with a width of 20 metres by a strike length of 120 metres.

Channel sampling and assays

Fourteen channels have been marked on site, and testing at four areas containing two main quartzite trends has been completed. A total of 256 samples were collected and sent to SGS Laboratory in Quebec City, Que., for XRF (X-ray fluorescence) and ICP (inductively coupled plasma) analysis. Assays results are expected imminently.

Structural evaluation

Dr. Trygve Hoy, PEng, PhD, completed a structural evaluation of the Femelle silica property in July, reporting on four of the quartzite units, one which was discovered through prospecting. He concludes that the quartzite found at Femelle represents a single layer that has been repeated by a tight-to-isoclinal syncline-anticline fold structure (a layer of quartzite that folds down and then up and turns back sharply). The oldest rocks are exposed in the core of the anticline, the youngest in the syncline to the north. Exploration and mapping have extended the north limb of the syncline considerably. Dr. Hoy recommends further evaluation of the extent of the quartzite in the north limb to be undertaken, along with prospecting along inferred extensions, additional channel sampling and drilling.

Baseline desktop study

A baseline desktop study has been completed by WSP of Quebec City. This study has identified and catalogued physiographic sensitive areas on the claims (marshes, creeks and lakes), fauna and flora present at Femelle project. In addition, the study by WSP provides guidance on community relations, available labour and services in the region, tourism in the area and any uses of the land near Femelle (such as hunting, fishing, recreation and mining; Sitec). WSP also outlined guidelines and studies that will be required during the progression of the exploration program, advanced exploration and development stage. During the current drill program, WSP will be identifying what data must be collected for geotechnical studies, environmental reviews, rock mechanics and sample analysis.
