Roughrider to Start Winter Program at Jurgen 1 and Jurgen 2

Vancouver, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 2, 2015 / Roughrider Exploration Limited (TSX-V: REL) ("Roughrider") is pleased to announce that planning is complete for the fully funded winter drill targeting program at the Jurgen 1 and Jurgen 2 areas located in the western portion of the Genesis property near Wollaston Lake, east of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, Canada.

The Jurgen 1 and 2 uranium targets are located at the far eastern end of the Collins Bay - Eagle Point lithostructural corridor, and across the Wollaston Lake from Cameco's Eagle Point uranium mine. The graphitic pelite, arkose, and calc-silicate rocks in the area are cross-cut by several north trending Tabbernor faults. Attention was drawn to the area by anomalous lake sediment samples and a series of linear NE trending airborne EM geophysical conductors assumed to represent graphitic horizons in pelitic rocks.

The summer 2014 exploration program included the establishment of preliminary soil grids overlying EM conductors at Jurgen 1 and Jurgen 2 (previously reported; news release December 1, 2014). Enzyme leach analysis of the soils revealed a number of uranium in soil results at or above the 95th percentile proximal to the EM conductors, indicating a strong potential drill target for uranium testing. The anomalous sections of the conductors occur on land and would be amenable to either winter or summer drilling.

In order to complete drill targeting, ground VLF-EM and magnetic geophysical surveys and biogeochemical sampling will be carried out on grids emplaced to cover the geochemically anomalous portions of the Jurgen 1 and Jurgen 2 conductors highlighted by the 2014 summer program at Genesis. A program of roughly 80 line-km of grid geophysics and collection of 550 biogeochemical samples at Jurgen 1 and 2 has been designed to best enable final drill targeting. The program is scheduled to be completed in March.

Scott Gibson, Roughrider's CEO commented that "we're excited to be moving the targets at Jurgen to the next level, setting the stage for an initial drill test at the first of several uranium exploration targets on the Genesis property. Most of our targets in the region have never been drilled and we are hopeful Roughrider's ongoing exploration will bring market focus to this highly prospective but underexplored area east of the Athabasca basin."
