TORONTO, April 27, 2020 - Rogue Resources Inc. (TSX.V:RRS) ("Rogue" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it restarted operations last week at Orillia and has produced and sold limestone product. Bobcaygeon will restart today. Both quarries are expected to restart at roughly one-third production capacity as the Company plans ramp-up over the coming four weeks, growing to an expected full complement of operators and the full fleet of eight pieces of equipment across the two sites.

"Since Rogue chose to temporarily close its quarry operations on March 24, 2020, it was an extraordinarily busy month coordinating with customers, suppliers and creditors to try and keep the Company positioned for Rogue Stone to get back to business," said Sean Samson, Rogue's President and CEO. "It is a testament to the full team, inside and outside the Company, who were able to collaborate and get through the period. It's exciting to have our operators back safely working and sales returning."

Government Support

Rogue applied for and received the Canada Emergency Bank Account ("CEBA") last week for the maximum $40,000. The CEBA is an interest-free loan, 25% of which is forgivable if repaid on or before December 31, 2022. Rogue also believes it qualifies for the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy ("CEWS") which is a subsidy to cover 75% of an employee's wages - up to $847 per week - for qualifying employers who can show a qualifying drop in gross revenues in March, April and May. The program will be in place for a 12-week period, from March 15 to June 6, 2020. Rogue intends to apply for the CEWS when it opens this week.

Creditor Relief

Based on the terms finalized for its $1.8M debt financing arranged with a leading Canadian, non-bank lender, (the "Credit Group") Rogue was scheduled to begin making monthly interest-only payments in late March (see further detail in the March 5, 2020 news release). The Credit Group has now agreed to defer monthly payments for 3 months, making the first payment payable at the end of June, 2020, thereby extending the 12 month term to 15 months, ending on June 3, 2021.

Private Placement

Rogue plans to offer and sell up to 1,666,667 units of the Company ("Units") at a price of $0.06 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $100,000 (the "Unit Offering") and up to 2,857,143 flow-through units of the Company ("FT Units") at a price of $0.07 per FT Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $200,000 (the "FT Unit Offering" and together with the Unit Offering, the "Private Placement"). Each Unit will consist of one common share of Rogue (each, a "Unit Share") and one common share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant") entitling the holder thereof to purchase one common share (each, a "Warrant Share") at an exercise price of $0.08 for up to a period of 36 months following the closing date. Each FT Unit will consist of one flow-through common share of Rogue (each, a "FT Share") and one common share purchase warrant (each, a "FT Warrant") entitling the holder thereof to purchase one common share (each, a "FT Warrant Share") at an exercise price of $0.08 for up to a period of 36 months following the closing date. The Private Placement is subject to regulatory approval, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").

Closing of the Private Placement is expected to occur on or about May 29, 2020. The proceeds of the Unit Offering will be used for general corporate purposes. The proceeds from the FT Unit Offering will be used for Canadian Exploration Expenses, as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada). The Units and FT Units will be offered by way of private placement in each of British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and such other jurisdictions as the Company may determine. The Units and FT Units issued in connection with the Private Placement will be subject to a statutory hold period in accordance with applicable securities legislation. The Private Placement will be exempt from prospectus and registration requirements of applicable securities laws.

In certain instances, the Company may pay finder's fees ("Finder's Fees") to eligible persons ("Finders") in connection with the Private Placement, consisting of a cash payment equal to 7% of gross proceeds raised and the Company may issue non-transferable finder's warrants ("Finder's Warrants") in an amount up to 7% of the gross proceeds raised from applicable subscriptions. Each Finder's Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one additional common share of Rogue (each, a "Finder's Warrant Share") at a price of $0.08 for up to three years. The payment of the Finder's fees and issuance of Finder's Warrants is subject to applicable regulatory and TSXV approval.
