04.08.2016  |  CNW
Appoints New Board Members, and Adds Paul Matysek as Advisor

VANCOUVER, Aug. 4, 2016 - Rouge Resources Ltd. (TSX-V; ROU) ("Rouge" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of its $5.2 million non-brokered private placement, and the acquisition of the Pampas El Peñon project in Chile from Arena Minerals ("Arena") and Sociedad Quimica Y Minera de Chile SA ("SQM").

Rouge will change its name to Fiore Exploration Ltd. on August 8, 2016 and the shares will trade under the symbol TSX-V : F.

The Pampas El Peñon properties lie immediately west and north of the northernmost portion of Yamana's El Peñon deposit, known as the Pampas August Victoria Complex. Yamana's El Peñon mine produced 227,000 ounces of gold and 7.7 million ounces of silver in 2015 with reported cash costs of US$621 and $8.38 an ounce respectively (Yamana Gold 2015 Annual Report). Several north-south-trending epithermal structures have been identified at or near surface on Rouge's properties, with three of these structures traced for more than 2 kilometres in strike length each. Over $1,000,000 has been spent on the property by Arena and SQM to define these epithermal gold-silver targets, and Rouge intends to aggressively follow them up in 2016.

The Company is also pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Paul Matysek M. Sc., P. Geo as an advisor to the company. Mr. Matysek is a corporate entrepreneur, professional geochemist and geologist with over 30 years of experience in the mining industry. He is currently Executive Chairman of Lithium X and has held senior executive and director positions with several natural resource exploration and development companies and is a proven company builder. He has built Goldrock Mines Corp., Lithium One Inc., Potash One Inc. and Energy Metals Corp. which have all been subject to significant acquisition premiums by larger mining companies.

The company has now appointed Robert Pirooz, Peter Tallman, Harry Pokrandt, Geir Liland and Tim Warman (CEO) to the company's board of directors as disclosed in the July 12, 2016 news release. Harpreet Dhaliwal has been appointed CFO of the Company.

"The acquisition of Pampas El Peñon marks the launch of a new and aggressive South America focused gold explorer," stated Tim Warman, CEO of Rouge. "We will begin work on Pampas El Peñon immediately with the goal of defining drill targets before year-end, and our team is actively reviewing several other promising acquisitions. I look forward to working with my new Board and I also want to welcome Paul Matysek, a highly respected explorer and company builder, as an advisor to Rouge as we build a leading exploration company with the goal of delivering world-class discoveries to the benefit of shareholders and local communities."


Pampas El Peñon Acquisition

The Pampas El Peñon acquisition consisted of two option agreements between Arena and Sociedad Quimica Y Minera de Chile SA ("SQM"). In exchange for transferring its interest in the option agreements to Rouge, Rouge issued 9.55 million of its common shares to Arena and 5.35 million common shares to SQM.  Rouge also assumed all of Arena's outstanding commitments under the option agreements, which include $750,000 in cash payments and an expenditure commitment on the project of $1.83-million, both due by July 27, 2017. Rouge also issued 870,000 common shares to the finders in conjunction with this acquisition.

A 43-101 compliant report titled "NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Pampas el Peñon Property, Province and Municipality of Antofagasta, Antofagasta Region (II), Chile" is being filed on SEDAR as part of the closing.

In connection with the acquisition the company has completed a private placement of 20 million shares at $0.26 per share for gross proceeds of $5.2 million.  On closing, the Company issued 40,000 common shares and paid $143,130.50 cash as finders' fees in respect of the Private Placement.

All shares related to the acquisition, financing, and the finder's fees are subject to a four-month hold period ending December 5th, 2016.
