TORONTO, Sept. 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rogue Resources Inc. (TSX-V:RRS) (“Rogue” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the filing of an independent technical report (the “Technical Report”) regarding Snow White quartz project located North of Massey, Ontario (“Snow White” or the “Project”). The Technical Report, entitled “NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Snow White Silica Property, Deagle Township, Massey, Ontario, Canada”, dated effective August 8, 2018, was prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) by M.Plan International Limited (“M.Plan”). M.Plan is a joint venture between Dorfner ANZAPLAN GmbH and Micon International Limited formed to provide consulting services in the specialty minerals sector. The resource estimate in the Technical Report includes resources from the Project’s Main Zone, which the Company believes is open along the strike and down dip, which has the potential for expansion. A copy of the Technical Report is available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) or on the Company’s website at www.rogueresources.ca.
“We believe the Technical Report establishes the quality of Snow White, including exceptionally low impurities contained in the quartz,” said Sean Samson, President and CEO of Rogue Resources. “We are excited that this material has been tested to meet the specifications for each of our target markets and expect that these results will assist in our ongoing negotiations with potential customers. We look forward to confirming the potential extension of the quartz mineralization, beyond this Main Zone, into the quartz identified approximately 1,000 metres to the south.”
Repricing and Extension of Non-Brokered Private Placement
Rogue has also received approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) for an extension of the deadline and repricing of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”) (see news releases dated April 2, 2018 and April 9, 2018). The Private Placement is being repriced in order to more accurately reflect the recent market price of the Company’s common shares. The Private Placement will consist of the planned issuance and sale of up to 2,222,222 units of the Company (“Units”) at a price of $0.18 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $400,000 (the “Unit Offering”) and up to 400,000 flow-through units of the Company (“FT Units”) at a price of $0.25 per FT Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $100,000 (the “FT Unit Offering” and together with the Unit Offering, the “Private Placement”).
Each Unit will consist of one common share of Rogue and one common share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant”) entitling the holder thereof to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.30 until July 25, 2020. Each FT Unit will consist of one flow-through common share of Rogue (each, a “FT Share”) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each, a “FT Warrant”) entitling the holder thereof to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.35 until July 25, 2020.
All Warrants and FT Warrants issued in the Private Placement will contain an accelerator clause whereby, if at any time after August 31, 2019, and prior to the expiry of the Warrants or FT Warrants, the trading price of Rogue’s common shares exceeds $0.40 for a period of ten consecutive trading days, the Company may provide notice to the holders of the Warrants and FT Warrants that such warrants will expire 30 days after the date of the notice.
The Private Placement is subject to regulatory approval, including the approval of the TSXV. Closing of the Private Placement is expected to occur on or before October 5, 2018 (the “Private Placement Closing”). 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).
Closes First Tranche
The Company also wishes to announce the closing of the first tranche of the Private Placement, subject to regulatory approval, including the approval of the TSXV. At the closing of the first tranche, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $136,130 from the Private Placement, comprised of $136,130 from the issuance and sale of 756,278 Units at a price of $0.18 per Unit.
No Finders’ Fees were paid in relation to the first tranche of the Private Placement.
Additional tranches of the Private Placement, if any, will be by way of private placement in each of British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and such other jurisdictions as the Company may determine. The Private Placement will be exempt from prospectus and registration requirements of applicable securities laws.
The Private Placement Closing is subject to regulatory approval. The common shares issued under the Private Placement will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus one day from their respective closing date, in accordance with applicable securities laws.
