Vancouver, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 31, 2014 / Roughrider Exploration Limited (TSX-V: REL) ("Roughrider") – is pleased to announce that it has successfully raised gross proceeds of $300,240 by way of a flow-through private placement (the "Private Placement"), subject to final acceptance by the TSX-Venture exchange.

The Private Placement consisted of the sale of 1,668,000 flow-through shares at a price of $0.18 per share. The Company paid cash finder's fees of $24,020 and issued 133,440 finder’s warrants. Each of these finder’s warrants entitles the holder to purchase one non flow-through common share at a price of $0.18 per common share until June 30, 2016. The proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for exploration on the Genesis Property and on Roughrider’s 100%-owned Athabasca Properties as well as for general working capital purposes.

Scott Gibson, Chief Executive Officer commented "We are pleased to take advantage of the availability of flow-through funds at this time of year, and plan to put these funds to work in a focused follow-up field program to more clearly define the multiple potential drill targets on our Genesis project in northeast Saskatchewan."

All securities issued or issuable under the offering are subject to a four-month hold period expiring on May 1, 2015. Final closing of the Private Placement is subject to final acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.
