NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR TO US WIRE SERVICES

• Both the Orillia and Bobcaygeon quarries have restarted and completed sales post-COVID-19 Closure
• Landscaping, Stone Yards and Garden Centres are slowly beginning to normalize across Ontario and Michigan
• The Company qualifies for and will receive the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy ("CEWS")
• Analysis continues on the promising gold potential at Radio Hill, analysis of historic drill-core now posted online
• Private Placement in process, split $100K Non-Flow-Through and $200K Flow-Through

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / May 11, 2020 / Rogue Resources Inc. (TSXV:RRS) ("Rogue" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Rogue Stone's quarries at Orillia and Bobcaygeon have both restarted and the Company plans to ramp-up over the coming weeks, growing to an expected full complement of operators and the full fleet of eight pieces of equipment later this month.

Continued Government Support

In addition to receiving the Canada Emergency Bank Account ("CEBA") for the maximum $40,000 (see further detail in the April 27, 2020 news release), Rogue has qualified for the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy ("CEWS") which is a subsidy to cover 75% of an employee's wages - up to $847 per week - for qualifying employers who can show a qualifying drop in gross revenues in March, April and May. The program was initially planned to be in place for a 12-week period, from March 15 to June 6, 2020, but last Friday it was announced that it would continue into the summer, with more detail to come this week.

The CEBA and the CEWS help support the Company's continued ramp-up post-COVID-19 Closure.

Radio Hill

Rogue's 1,800 hectare land package is located along the western extension of the Destor-Porcupine Fault, southwest of the prolific gold district of Timmins, Ontario. Radio Hill is surrounded on 3 sides by the Pen Gold Project, amalgamated by GFG Resources (TSXV:GFG) in 2018. In April, GFG announced a promising result, within approximately 4km of Radio Hill, for 71.27 Grams of Gold per Tonne Over 8.5m. Based on this result, and the interpretation that a similar geological package extends onto the nearby Rogue land, the Company continues to review its historical data and plan for a potential exploration program.

A recently updated Radio Hill presentation, including photos of historic drill-core completed as part of the Company's exploration of the Radio Hill iron mineralization, is now available on the Company's website at www.rogueresources.ca. Rogue initially recognized the gold potential associated with the Radio Hill Property in 2017 when it applied for and was granted an exploration permit to complete diamond drilling within the property boundaries (see August 14, 2017 news release). The exploration permit is valid until November of this year.

More recently Rogue consolidated 100% right, title and interest in Radio Hill (see January 16, 2020 news release).

GFG has been exploring their 68,000 hectare project, on both sides of the centrally located Radio Hill Project, since Q1 2018. Rogue interprets that the favourable stratigraphic package hosting GFG's recently intersected gold mineralization extends west onto the Radio Hill Property based upon geophysical surveys supported by geological mapping. In addition to GFG, the area to the southwest of Timmins has been the focus of significant exploration efforts by a number of companies due to the positive exploration and development activity associated with Pan American Silver (TSX:PAAS and the Timmins West Mine), Newmont Goldcorp (TSX:NGT and the Borden Mine) and IAMGOLD (TSX:IMG and the Côté Gold Project). Past exploration and mining in the vicinity of Radio Hill includes the Joburke Mine located approximately 6 kilometres west of Radio Hill and numerous other gold showings and intercepts, highlighting the prospective nature of the area for gold mineralization.

The Company will continue its analysis of the high-quality geophysical surveys completed by the Company since the acquisition of the Radio Hill property in 2010 and focus on identifying favourable geological and structural features that are known to host gold mineralization throughout the Timmins area. The Rogue team will prioritize exploration targets with the objective to complete an exploration program to test these targets for their gold potential.

Private Placement

As announced April 27^th, Rogue plans to offer and sell up to 1,666,667 units of the Company ("Units") at a price of $0.06 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $100,000 (the "Unit Offering") and up to 2,857,143 flow-through units of the Company ("FT Units") at a price of $0.07 per FT Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $200,000 (the "FT Unit Offering" and together with the Unit Offering, the "Private Placement"). Each Unit will consist of one common share of Rogue (each, a "Unit Share") and one common share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant") entitling the holder thereof to purchase one common share (each, a "Warrant Share") at an exercise price of $0.08 for up to a period of 36 months following the closing date. Each FT Unit will consist of one flow-through common share of Rogue (each, a "FT Share") and one common share purchase warrant (each, a "FT Warrant") entitling the holder thereof to purchase one common share (each, a "FT Warrant Share") at an exercise price of $0.08 for up to a period of 36 months following the closing date. The Private Placement is subject to regulatory approval, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").

Closing of the Private Placement is expected to occur on or about May 29, 2020. The proceeds of the Unit Offering will be used for general corporate purposes. The proceeds from the FT Unit Offering will be used for Canadian Exploration Expenses, as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada). The Units and FT Units will be offered by way of private placement in each of British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and such other jurisdictions as the Company may determine. The continued analysis of the Radio Hill gold potential will qualify as Canadian Exploration Expenses.

Complete details of the Private Placement are available in Rogue's April 27, 2020 news release or from the Company.

"I am glad our Operations team have been able to safely return and get back to producing sales. The government support helps with our rampup and as landscaping comes back online in Ontario and the export markets, our supply should meet growing demand for stone," said Sean Samson, Rogue's President and CEO. "The potential in Timmins is one that we've been watching and in this gold market, combined with the Company's deep expertise in Timmins gold geology- it will be interesting to see what comes of it. Rogue's cash flow from the stone business combined with optionality across the rest of the portfolio serves as an attractive platform in these volatile times."
