TSX.V: REL

VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 23, 2020 /CNW/ - Roughrider Exploration Limited ("Roughrider") (TSXV: REL) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement (the "Agreement") with Industria Metals Inc. ("Industria"), whereby Industria can earn a 70% interest in Roughrider's Scottie West Property (the "Property") located in Northwest British Columbia.

Under the terms of the Agreement, Industria can earn a 70% interest in the Property by making aggregate cash payments of $500,000, issuing to Roughrider common shares of Industria with a total value $500,000 and incurring a minimum of $1,000,000 of exploration expenditures on the Property over a four year period. Upon Industria's successful completion of the earn-in, Roughrider and Industria will form a joint venture on the Property. Roughrider will retain a 2% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty of which Industria can repurchase 1% of the NSR for $2,000,000 at any time after a production decision has been made.

Adam Travis, CEO and Director of Roughrider, comments: "We are very pleased to have signed an agreement with Industria on our non-core Scottie West Property.  Our current exploration focus is on the Empire Mine Property located on Vancouver Island and we have been reviewing other opportunities in order to create shareholder value. This agreement with Industria allows us to have a direct equity interest in Industria, maintain a 30% interest in the Property and therefore provides Roughrider an opportunity to participate in any future success at the Scottie West Property."
