TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / April 17, 2020 / Rogue Resources Inc. (TSX-V:RRS) ("Rogue" or the "Company") sent the below note to shareholders, from Sean Samson, President and CEO of Rogue Resources-

"Hello everyone-

I wanted to send another update on what is happening with your company through this period of continuing challenge and change. As always, Rogue remains focused on the health and safety of our teams and we will continue to practice physical distancing throughout the company. Management has continued to work remotely and we have been in regular contact with our operators (who are at home with their families), our customers, investors and creditors.

Our group has remained focused on returning to work and we are now planning to restart operations on March 20^th at Orillia and March 27^th at Bobcaygeon.

Choosing to end our temporary suspension is not a decision we take lightly and our Operations team will return to the rigorous protocol they have followed since February and which has been discussed in detail with Rogue's Board of Directors. Following public health recommendations, the Operations team members will again arrive in their personal vehicles, operate individual pieces of equipment, spend break time outside or back in their personal vehicles and use mobile phones to communicate with each other, with Management, and to coordinate delivery trucks that arrive to be loaded. The trucking companies and our customers are following very similar protocols and in combination, the landscape stone business is slowly making a return to normalcy for supply, hopefully in time for the usual rise in spring and summer demand. Rogue has orders in place that we look forward to getting back to delivering on.

I continue to extend my best wishes during this incredibly challenging time and please do contact me with any questions about your Company.

Sean Samson."
