JURGEN 1 AND JURGEN 2 WINTER FIELDWORK COMPLETE

Roughrider Exploration Ltd. has successfully completed its winter drill targeting program at the Jurgen 1 and Jurgen 2 areas located in the western portion of the Genesis property on Wellbelove Bay of Wollaston Lake, eastern Athabasca.

At Jurgen 1, the exploration work just completed included the collection of 249 bio-geochemical samples (black spruce), and 32 line kilometres of ground magnetic and VLF EM (very low frequency electromagnetic) geophysical surveying. At Jurgen 2, roughly three kilometres to the east, crews collected 296 bio-geochemical samples, and completed 37.2 line kilometres of VLF and magnetic geophysical surveying. During the 2014 summer exploration program, preliminary enzyme leach soil grids investigating prominent DIGHEM electromagnetic conductors at Jurgen 1 and Jurgen 2 returned anomalous uranium values above the 99th percentile coincident with the targeted conductors (previously reported -- see news release dated Dec. 1, 2014).

The 2015 work included the collection of an additional 49 bio-geochemical samples from the Sava Lake conductor located 23 kilometres to the east of the Jurgen area. The Sava Lake target was highlighted by bio-geochemical results anomalous in uranium, and associated trace elements from a small preliminary bio-geochemical sample program completed during Roughrider's 2014 summer work program (see news release dated Oct. 21, 2014).

Scott Gibson, Roughrider's chief executive officer, commented: "This recent work program provides us with additional data that will be very helpful in establishing drill targets at Jurgen 1 and Jurgen 2. The ground geophysical surveying has provided increased definition of the Jurgen conductors. The goal of the bio-geochemistry results is to provide a detailed understanding of the geochemical signatures characterizing these targets, and guide the layout of a proposed summer drill program."

The ground grids for the Genesis 2015 winter program were designed to follow up on anomalous 2014 geochemical values coincident to electromagnetic conductors at Jurgen 1 and Jurgen 2. A total of 594 black spruce bough bio-geochemical samples was collected during the winter program. Sampling was undertaken at 200-metre line spacings with 100-metre line spacings bordering the anomalous 2014 soil values. Samples were collected at 50-metre intervals, increasing to 25-metre intervals directly over the conductor. A total of 69.2 line kilometres of magnetic/VLF electromagnetic surveying was completed. The surveying was undertaken at 100-metre line spacings with 50-metre line spacings flanking the anomalous 2014 soil values. SJ Geophysics Ltd. from Delta, B.C., conducted the geophysical surveying using GEM GSM-19 overhauser magnetometer/VLF units.

The Jurgen 1 and 2 uranium targets are located at the far eastern end of the Collins Bay-Eagle Point lithostructural corridor, where graphitic pelite, arkose and calc-silicate rocks are crosscut by several north-trending Tabbernor faults. Attention was drawn to the area by lake sediment samples anomalous in uranium, and a series of linear northeast-trending airborne electromagnetic geophysical conductors assumed to represent graphitic horizons in pelitic rocks. The anomalous geochemistry targeted occurs on land, and would be amenable to either winter or summer drilling.
