Rogue Resources' Technical Team Looks to Continue Winning Streak
RRS.V advancing Gold asset, high-purity silica project, and deposit with 18 million lbs of Nickel.
NEW YORK, NY, September 19, 2014 /Sector Newswire/ - Given the winning streak this technical team has had this mining cycle, simply betting on the technical team alone has potential to yield significant results -- add in the exceptional prospects of Rogue Resources Inc. (TSX-V: RRS) (US Listing: GCRIF), a tight share structure, plus a capitalized balance sheet, and a bullish scenario is set. Rogue Resources' technical team is the same team that was responsible for the success surrounding Integra Gold which discovered and advanced the Triangle Zone, the highest grade resource in its project area (adjacent the Sigma and Lamaque Mines) despite Teck having held the ground for 80 years prior. RRS.V recently closed the first tranche of its $2.5 million private placement previously announced on July 30, 2014, for gross proceeds of $2,073,240 and now with ~35.3 million shares outstanding (~55.2M fully diluted). The Company appears undervalued with a market cap under $4 million; it is well capitalized to execute on near-to-mid-term objectives and clearly possesses large inherent value in its diversified portfolio which justifies a market cap several times the current.
RRS.V is a uniquely diversified/de-risked junior miner currently advancing projects on several commodity fronts, three of which present substantial near-term catalyst potential and make RRS.V an exceptional risk-reward scenario.
1) Gold - RRS.V is conducting one of the most exciting Gold exploration programs in Canada this year at it's high-grade East-West Gold Project deposit in the heart of Val d'Or, Quebec. Historic near-surface drill results Rogue intends to build on include 72.4 g/T Gold over 3.2 m, 84.48 g/T Gold over 3.97 m, and 123.96 g/T Gold over 2.14 m -- all of the aforementioned results were drilled between surface and 200 m vertical.
2) Silica - RRS.V is strategically positioned to capitalize on the demand for high-purity silica (SiO2) at its recently acquired >99.9% high-purity SiO2 target project in Quebec which is poised to advance quickly to resource.
3) Nickel - RRS.V possesses an advanced-stage Nickel project that has received in excess of $7 million in development, and contains a sizeable high-grade Ni resource (18 million lbs of Nickel in all categories, see below for breakdown), with most of the resource in the high-grade Indicated category near surface -- a further rise in nickel prices has the potential to generate substantial interest.
4) Iron - RRS.V also has exposure to Iron commodity prices from a project holding that was prepped for full production in the 1960's.
Both the nickel and iron projects have large inherent value, yet present no drain on capital.
2) Lac de la Grosse Femelle High-Purity Silica Project, St. Urbain, Quebec (100% owned) -- Rogue Resources is strategically positioned to capitalize on the demand for high-purity silica. Demand for high-purity silica (used to create fused quartz for high-tech manufacturing such as solar panels, semiconductors, LCD displays, and lithium batteries, etc.) has risen and this trend is projected to continue. Tightening supply due to current levels of production in Brazil and China have contributed to price gains. The increasing demand will sustain these gains and support a further rise in silicon prices through to 2017 (source: CRU, Silicon Market Outlook Report 2014).
3) Langmuir Nickel Project, Timmins, Ontario (100% owned) -- This advanced-stage nickel project is located 35 km SE of Timmins, only 30 km south of Xstrata's Timmins Metallurgical Facility which has an idle nickel circuit. The property is within 3 km of the recently (March 2014) reopened Redstone Nickel Mill/Concentrator. RRS.V has a high-grade Nickel resource on the Langmuir Nickel Project deposit that was discovered in 2007, the discovery hole was 72 m of 1.14% Ni, which is exceptional high-grade. When discovered in 2007 Ni prices were at US$24/lb, Ni prices crashed to ~$4/lb, and have since rebounded to near $9/lb (a doubling) which makes the asset extremely valuable. Over $7.5 million has been spent on the project, over 80 holes have been drilled on the deposit, and over 18 million pounds of nickel has been defined; the resource sits at:
Besides exceptional high-grade Nickel, the deposit also has quality PGM (palladium and platinum) credits; e.g. In May, 2007 drilling by the Company intersected 1.14% nickel over 72.45 metres, including two separate heavily mineralized intervals of 2.23% Nickel (Ni), 0.22% Copper (Cu), 0.20 g/t Platinum (Pt), and 0.50 g/t Palladium (Pd) over 17.50 metres of drill core, and 1.74 % Ni, 0.12% Cu, 0.20 g/t Pt, and 0.47 g/t Pd over 13.10 metres of drill core. The big upside potential of the property exists in deep geophysical targets not fully tested with diamond drilling -- there exists the possibility of finding a number of these type of deposits throughout the property.
4) Radio Hill Iron Project, Timmins, Ontario -- The Radio Hill is a valuable asset that RRS.V can leverage when iron prices improve -- in 1965 the deposit was tested through to the feasibility stage, historically (non 43-101), by FENCO. FENCO was preparing for full production only to be stopped by low iron ore prices. The historic feasibility showed values that would allow for the commercial production of iron ore pellets, with soluble iron concentration at 68.3%, and low values for deleterious elements. Extensive drilling has been carried out on the project, including 140 drill holes into anomalies. In 2011/2012 RRS.V conducted over 10,000 metres of drilling (when iron prices were riding high) and was entertaining metallurgical testing to take the project to resource. With iron prices low the project is in abeyance. Geophysics indicate the possibility exists for considerable expansion/new discovery. The CN Rail mainline crosses through the property ~3km south of the deposit.
