TORONTO, January 21, 2020 - Rogue Resources Inc. (TSXV:RRS) ("Rogue" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that limestone continues to be safely produced and sold from the Bobcaygeon Quarry. Rogue Stone's team of 3-4 operators at the Bobcaygeon Quarry have been working since early November and Rogue has sold more than 1000 tons of limestone from the quarry, with the first 175 tons coming from existing inventory on site prior to the acquisition. In parallel, the team has been rehabilitating the site and ensuring compliance with Ministry requirements and preparing the site for new working areas. Site prep will be roughly 50% of the team's effort until the end of March.

Once in a working area, operations are a two (Bulk) or three step (Skidded) process. First, stone is popped out by layer, using the teeth of an excavator or the forks of a loader. The second step is for the stone to be roughly shaped and then it is either ready to be loaded in Bulk or, broken and piled on a skid (skidded). Bulk product is loaded straight onto a flatbed and skidded product incorporates loading ~2.5 - 3 tons of stone onto a wooden pallet, which is then placed on a flatbed. Sales terms for the quarry are straightforward, with ownership transferring at the quarry once the stone is loaded onto the delivery trucks. Logistics to the final destination (including customs, if required) are handled by the buyers and payment terms vary from payment upon loading out to a maximum of net seven days. All sales have been priced according to the Company's Price List, consistent with management's expectations.

Bobcaygeon Quarry produces Armour, Step and Flag limestone, each of which are packaged bulk or skidded. In terms of product mix, Rogue has produced a higher percentage of Bulk Armour than the annual forecasted average. This has been skewed higher for a number of reasons. First, the existing inventory, which was at site upon acquisition, was primarily Armour. Secondly, some of the site cleanup work has resulted in scavenging further Armour and working through Armour layers, on the way to higher value Step and Flag. Finally, robust shoreline rebuilding work across southern Ontario and the Great Lakes Region, has led to an increased demand for Armour. Large shoreline rehabilitation programs require immense amounts of stone and draw from quarries across the area. Somewhat counterintuitively, winter is a key period for these sorts of construction projects because of less traffic occurring on the shoreline and frozen conditions easing the access to some sites. The team has not yet begun full focus on loading production to skids, which will begin soon. Management expects that the product mix will evolve to include more Step and Flag and that Skidded will grow, especially as the spring sales season approaches.

All production to date has been sold with 90% being sold to the large buyers who signed the Intent to Purchase Agreements ("Intent Agreements") last year with Rogue (see Rogue's August 26 and September 3, 2019 press releases). Intent Agreement signatories ("Preferred Partners") have agreed to an annual purchase volume and are now converting to 2020 purchase orders. As previously reported, Rogue had Intent Agreements signed with volumes equaling 80% of the permitted production from Bobcaygeon Quarry and the intended acquisition of Orillia Quarry. All sales have been priced according to the Price List with the Intent Agreements, and the remainder sold to non-signatories at a higher "Quarry Price".

"Our team is doing well at Bobcaygeon, working safely and balancing production with the Rehabilitation and the continuing Site Preparation work", said Sean Samson, President and CEO of Rogue. "It's been a good ramp-up and work with our Preferred Partners is going well. Separate from the quarry, our financing discussions are ongoing."

Rogue comment regarding "Companion Policy 43-101CP, 4.2(6) - Production Decision"

The work completed on both the Bobcaygeon and Orillia Quarries is, at this stage, preliminary in nature and the limited drill data and exploration work are too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized even as Mineral Resources. Rogue does not intend to complete a Pre-feasibility or Feasibility Study of Mineral Reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability before a decision to proceed with further investment into either quarry. Projects that are based on a production decision without a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical feasibility have increased uncertainty and economic and technical risks of failure associated with its production decision. This potential decision would be based on past production performance (and readers are warned that previous results are not an indication of future results), the results of negotiated cost estimates as well as the securing of supply contracts for the limestone products from either quarry. Among the risks associated with the quarries and with any development decision to proceed into further production and/or restarting production for next season is the possibility that the quarry will not be economically or technically viable and/or that development timetables, cost estimates and production forecasts may not be realized.
