Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 29, 2017) - Roscan Minerals Corporation (TSXV: ROS.H) ("Roscan or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, effective May 30, 2017, Roscan has graduated to the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V) as a tier 2 listed issuer trading under the symbol ROS. As part of the graduation process, the Company has filed its initial NI 43-101 technical report on SEDAR for the gold prospective Dormaa Project (described below).

The NI 43-101 technical report, completed by Mr. L.K. Mireku P. Geo, recommends a three phase approach over a period of three years, with a total budget of CAD $2,000,000, which includes a soil/termite geo-chemical program, 10,000 metres of air-core drilling and 10,000 metres of reverse circulation/diamond-core ("RC") drilling. Exploration activity is planned as follows:

The Phase 1 recommended program is designed to efficiently delineate known high gold anomalous areas using methodologies which have proven highly successful on other West African greenstone belt discoveries. These anomalies appear to be the source of substantial unregulated artisanal mining operations surrounding the property. Phases 2 and 3 are intended to provide a more detailed understanding of the potential within these anomalies.

About the Dormaa Project ("Dormaa")
The Dormaa Project is an 86.44 square kilometre gold prospective concession governed by a prospecting licence in the Brong-Ahafo Regions of Ghana, West Africa. Pelangio Exploration Inc. ("Pelangio") owns a 100% interest in the Dormaa Project through its indirectly held, wholly-owned subsidiary, Pelangio Ahafo (G) Limited ("Pelangio Ghana").

Roscan entered into an option and joint venture agreement (the "Option") with Pelangio on November 7, 2016 (as further amended on February 14, 2017) pursuant to which the parties established an earn-in arrangement to jointly advance Dormaa. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Option, Roscan has the right to earn a 50% interest in Dormaa by: funding CAD $2,000,000 ($300,000 paid) of exploration expenditures and paying $160,000 ($10,000 paid) to Pelangio over a three year period; and, paying annual ground rent and mineral right fees.

Pelangio originally acquired Dormaa based on primary regional stream sediment data. Subsequently, Pelangio completed stream sediment surveys into the secondary and tertiary drainages, followed by soil sampling carried out between 2011 and 2013, under the supervision of Warren Bates, P. Geo. This work resulted in the discovery of 21 significant gold-in-soil anomalies with the largest measuring up to 4 kilometres long and 500 metres wide.

Newly released satellite imagery indicates that substantial, unregulated artisanal and mechanized alluvial operations surrounding the property were carried out during 2014-2015. These alluvial operations appear to be sourced by large gold-in-soil anomalies.

Mr. Warren Bates, P Geo. (APGO #0211), is a qualified person, as defined by NI 43-101, and has reviewed and approved the technical contents of this press release.
