- Two Phase Exploration Plan Outlined
- Phase 1
- Airborne Mag, EM and Radiometric Surveys
- Ground Geophysical Surveys
- Prospecting, mapping and sampling
- Outcrop stripping and trenching
- Bulk sample of 50 tonnes
- Phase 2

- Recent Advancements on Project
- Airborne Heli-MAG survey flown over the quartzites of the Femelle Project on December 7, 2014, with preliminary maps and reports to follow. The survey consisted of 321 km of north-northwest oriented flight lines spaced at 100 m, in an effort to better define under-exposed quartzite on the project.
- The Company has initiated community consultations and presented its project to various local groups (MRC de Charlevoix, MRC de Charlevoix Est, MRNQ in La Malbaie, the Mairie de St.Urbain, and Zec des Martes). Rogue plans to continue working with the local community as it advances the project.

About the Femelle Silica Project
The Femelle Property is underlain by quartzite sequences with multiple quartzite outcroppings. The quartzites have a high silica content with minimal impurities, generally less than 1%. Commonly referred to as high purity quartz, the silica produced from this type of quartzite is highly sought after.
It is located approximately 42 km north of Baie-Saint Paul, situated on the St. Lawrence River, and 4 km northeast of the Mine Sitec silica mine. The mine has been in operation for over fifty years and the property hosts 10 quartzites of high silica content horizons, (DPV682 Rondot 1979) with four (4) of the quartzites striking NE towards the Femelle Project, adjacent and contiguous to the NE corner of the Mine Sitec Deposit. Access to the project is via a paved highway and well maintained forestry access roads.
The Québec government recently announced a $382 million investment in FerroAtlantica, one of the world's largest silicon metal producers, which is preparing to build a silicon metal plant at Port Cartier, Québec, located on the St Lawrence River approximately 400 kilometers southeast of the project. This plant is projected to come on stream in June, 2016.
Silica is used as a component for the production of:
- semi-conductors
- LCD displays
- fuse quartz tubing
- microelectronics
- solar silicon applications (solar panels)
- silicon-anode lithium batteries
- quartz kitchen counter tops
- silicon-metal
- ferro-silicon
Silicon Metal Market Outlook Report, published on March 28, 2014, reports that the resumption of stronger growth in demand has improved the prospects for the silicon market. "Recent price gains can mainly be attributed to tightening supply due to low current levels of production in Brazil and China, but increasing demand will sustain these gains and support a further rise in silicon prices through to 2017."
