Rogue Partners with Lintech International, a Contract Processor and Leading Distributor of Specialty Minerals

TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - June 21, 2017) -

• Lintech, based in Georgia, has a distribution network and client relationships across the USA
• Provides access into Specialized markets, despite removing secondary crushing from the Silicon Ridge plan
• Lintech currently sells to clients who require quartz, with chemical and physical characteristics similar to the planned production from Silicon Ridge

Rogue Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: RRS) ("Rogue" or the "Company") is pleased to report a new Distribution Agreement signed with Lintech International LLC ("Lintech") for its 100% owned Silicon Ridge Project (the "Project"), located approximately 42 km north of Baie-Saint Paul, Québec, and 4 km northeast of Sitec's operating silica quarry. After over 30 years of steady growth, Lintech now serves customers across the USA, in a range of markets including coatings, adhesives, rubber, plastics and composites. With a sales and customer service team that averages more than 20 years in the chemical industry, and with thirteen warehouses across the nation, Lintech has earned a reputation for excellent technical sales, responsive customer service, and award winning logistical abilities. Lintech will use its existing infrastructure to coordinate secondary processing and existing client network to distribute products.

"We are excited to partner with Rogue and begin distributing the Silicon Ridge quartz," said Tom Hinson, Owner of Lintech. "This quartz product is in demand by our customers and, after meeting multiple times, we have been drawn to the professional approach the Rogue team has taken -- analyzing and methodically advancing the Project."

"This partnership brings multiple benefits to our Company," said Sean Samson, President and CEO of Rogue. "We knew that despite moving to a direct-ship model, and our focus on the silicon metal market, we still wanted access into the lower volume but higher priced specialized markets. Partnering with Lintech gets us that and also the opportunity to collaborate with a very experienced group."

The Specialized Market -- not included in the Base Case PEA

In its 2016 analysis, Dorfner ANZAPLAN identified a number of potential end uses for the product from the Silicon Ridge deposit (see summary of the April 2016 metallurgical report, available on www.rogueresources.ca). Rogue has since targeted two broad groups of markets: "Commodity" and "Specialized".

The Commodity group will be direct-shipped from Silicon Ridge as lump product, after selective quarrying (led by the on-site Rogue team), primary crushing and screening by the Contract Operator of the quarry to a size as required to meet the specification for ferrosilicon and metallurgical grade silicon producers (averages between 20mm to 120mm). The Optimized PEA announced earlier the quarter, draws on pricing for only the Commodity group (see Press Release May 23, 2017).

Sales into the Specialized group will likely require secondary processing (now not included as part of the direct-ship model planned for Silicon Ridge), and the Company has been actively searching for partners to process and help distribute this material. On a non-exclusive bases, Lintech will target coatings, adhesives, rubber, plastics and composites sales, across the USA. Sales into the Specialized markets would represent upside to the Base Case and potential sales of material currently counted as waste.
