VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Sept. 2, 2015) -
-
FIVE NEW CHANNEL ASSAY RESULTS
FROM TOTAL OF 14 QUARTZITE CHANNELS RECEIVED
-
NEW ASSAYS INCLUDE SAMPLES SITES 1.4 KM EAST OF FIRST
SAMPLE SITES ON QUARTZITE UNIT 'G'
-
ASSAYS ON NEWLY DISCOVERED QUARTZITE UNIT "H" RECEIVED
-
TEN OF TWENTY FIVE PHASE ONE DRILL HOLES COMPLETED
Rogue Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:RRS) ("Rogue"
or the "Company") is pleased to announce that assay results
from an additional five of fourteen channel sample units
comprising 256 samples have been received on the Lac de la
Grosse Femelle silica project ("Femelle") located
approximately 42 kilometers ("km") north of Baie-Saint Paul,
Québec, and 4 km northeast of Sitec's operating silica mine.
Two new assay results, R9 and R10, are from channel sample
sites located up to 1.4 km east of Channels R6 and R7,
located on the same "G" quartzite unit (News Release, August
20, 2015). Newly reported as well is Channel R8 located 50
meters ("m") east-northeast of R7 on the same unit. The
replication of assays over a strike length of 1.4 km on
surface is considered indicative of the continuity of high
purity silica trends that are contained within the 'G'
quartzite unit.
Channel R13, 20.7 m long and located on the newly discovered
zone "H," returned assays from 8 of 12 samples submitted
over an accumulated width of 13.7 m with silica purity
ranging from 99.0% to 99.9% SiO2. Further sampling and
drilling is warranted and will take place in the vicinity of
Channel R13. Channel R12, located on the southern edge of
the contact with quartzite zone "H," returned assays that
indicate it is outside of the quartzite unit.
The Company is also pleased to announce that 10 of the 25
drill holes planned for Phase One have been completed. In
addition to providing core that will be assayed to prove up
consistency of silica purity, the drill program is designed
to provide the depth of the quartzite units as the width and
length are already known visually from surface.

"It is extremely encouraging to
have high purity silica assays on the eastern portion of the
same "G" quartzite unit that replicate the assays of
channels located 1.4 km to the west. Equally gratifying is
the silica purity reported in assays from Channel R13
located in the newly discovered zone "H" where 75% of the 12
samples submitted recorded silica purity of 99.0 to 99.9%
SiO2," commented Company President and CEO John de
Jong. "Drilling, which is progressing
on time and on budget, will help define the quartzite units'
length, width and depth, and also the consistency of high
purity silica throughout the units. All of this information
will be utilized as we prepare for a resource calculation
early in 2016."
Channel Sample Results
Channel samples, R1 - R14, consisting of 256 samples
totaling 446.7 m of channelling were delivered to SGS
Laboratories in Québec City, Québec. Assay results for 85
samples over 156.3 m from channels R8, R9, R10, on the "G"
quartzite unit and R12 and R13 on the newly discovered
quartzite unit "H" have been received.
The results of the other 7 channel sample results are still
pending.

Drilling Update
Of the 25 drill holes planned for Phase One drilling, 10
have been completed. All 23 drill pads have been prepared to
date. Drilling is designed to test the extent of quartzite
units "G" and the newly discovered "H" quartzite unit,
including their purity, depth, width, and the length of
extensions below surface.
Drilling takes place 24 hours per day and both Phase One and
Phase Two programs are scheduled to be completed by
mid-to-late November. Pending results, the Company may
increase the initial 5,000 m drill program.
As part of the Company's commitment to preserve the local
fauna and forest, remediation of each drill site and access
point takes place immediately upon leaving the location and
as the project progresses.

About Rogue Resources Inc.
With its diverse portfolio of properties, all in good
standing, the Company has the ability to focus its efforts
and finances on the project that demonstrates the greatest
market potential for return. The recent investment of $382 M
by the Québec provincial government in Grupo FerroAtlantica,
one of the world's largest silicon metal producers, to build
a silicon metal plant located near our silica property is a
great foundational point to launch this silica rich
quartzite property.
The Femelle Project is located approximately 42 km north of
Baie-Saint Paul, situated on the St. Lawrence River, and is
4 km northeast of the Mine Sitec silica mine, in operation
for over fifty years. Access to the project is via a paved
highway and well maintained forestry access roads.
