TORONTO, January 16, 2020 - Rogue Resources Inc. (TSX-V:RRS) ("Rogue" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that limestone continues to be produced and sold from the Bobcaygeon Quarry. Rogue Stone continues with a team of 3-4 operators at the Bobcaygeon Quarry, working daily on heavy equipment (including excavators and loaders), ramping up production from the site, loading flatbed road-trucks and increasing sales week to week. Payments have been received from clients for these sales and the business is advancing consistent with management's expectations. Discussions continue regarding the financing for the Orillia Quarry acquisition (see purchase terms within Rogue's November 21, 2019 press release).

Rogue Timmins- consolidating ownership of the Radio Hill Project

As part of the Company's Amended Option Agreement (the "Agreement") for the Radio Hill Project (dated June 16, 2016) Rogue has been making annual payments of 50,000 shares to the group of optionors (the "Optionors") to maintain the iron ore rights for the property and a buyout would cost approximately $7 million. Rogue has now negotiated an amendment to the Agreement where the Company will make a final payment of 100,000 shares to the Optionors in return for full ownership of the iron ore rights in the future. As part of this amendment, if the property ever produces iron ore, the Optionors will receive a 1.5% net smelter return ("NSR") interest. If completed, there will be no further share or cash payments made to the Optionors and Rogue would have consolidated 100% right, title and interest in the property, subject to the potential future NSR.

The Radio Hill Project comprises of a 1,800 hectare land package located 85 km southwest of Timmins, Ontario. The Radio Hill Project sits in the middle of the West Timmins Project, owned by GFG Resources Inc. (TSX-V: GFG). In December 2017, GFG announced its plans to consolidate the West Timmins Project, a land package encompassing the Pen Gold Project (from Rapier Gold), the West Porcupine Property (from Probe Metals) and the Swayze Project (from Osisko Mining). GFG has been exploring their 68,000 hectare project, on both sides of the centrally located Radio Hill Project, since Q1 2018.

Rogue comment regarding "Companion Policy 43-101CP, 4.2(6) - Production Decision"

The work completed on both the Bobcaygeon and Orillia Quarries is, at this stage, preliminary in nature and the limited drill data and exploration work are too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized even as Mineral Resources. Rogue does not intend to complete a Pre-feasibility or Feasibility Study of Mineral Reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability before a decision to proceed with further investment into either quarry. Projects that are based on a production decision without a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical feasibility have increased uncertainty and economic and technical risks of failure associated with its production decision. This potential decision would be based on past production performance (and readers are warned that previous results are not an indication of future results), the results of negotiated cost estimates as well as the securing of supply contracts for the limestone products from either quarry. Among the risks associated with the quarries and with any development decision to proceed into further production and/or restarting production for next season is the possibility that the quarry will not be economically or technically viable and/or that development timetables, cost estimates and production forecasts may not be realized.
