VANCOUVER, Feb. 24, 2022 - Rokmaster Resources Corp. (TSXV: RKR) (OTCQB: RKMSF) (FSE: 1RR1) ("Rokmaster" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed the final tranche (the "Final Tranche") of its previously announced non-brokered financing (the "Financing") with the issuance of 5,147,000 units at a price of $0.25 per unit (a "Unit") for gross proceeds of $1,286,750. Each Unit issued in the Final Tranche is comprised of one common share of the Company and one non-transferrable common share purchase warrant to purchase one additional common share of the Company (a "Warrant Share") at a price of $0.45 per Warrant Share for a period of two years expiring on February 23, 2024, subject to an acceleration provision as more detailed in the Company's news release dated January 28, 2022.
The securities issued in the Final Tranche are subject to a four-months and one day hold period expiring June 24, 2022 and were not offered or registered in the United States.
In connection with the closing of the Final Tranche, the Company paid cash finder's fees in aggregate of $79,590, and issued a total of 318,360 finder's warrants (the "Finder's Warrants") to certain finders. Each Finder's Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Warrant Share at a price of $0.45 for a period of two years expiring on February 23, 2024 and is also subject to the same acceleration provision as the share purchase warrants.
Proceeds from the Financing will be used to fund the Revel Ridge Project and for general working capital purposes.
Insiders of the Company subscribed for an aggregate of 4,157,000 units in the Financing for gross proceeds of $1,039,250, which participation constituted a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). Such participation is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the securities acquired by the insiders, nor the consideration for the securities paid by such insiders, exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
John Mirko, Rokmaster's President and CEO stated: "We are pleased to close this round of financing with continued support from DELPHI Unternehmensberatung AG and our current shareholders and we are also financed and excited to advance our exploration and development programs at Revel Ridge."

About Rokmaster
Rokmaster controls a portfolio of three significant exploration and development projects all of which are in southern British Columbia in regions of excellent infrastructure. The three projects include:
- Revel Ridge. Rokmaster is currently conducting an underground drill program at the Revel Ridge Project located in southeastern British Columbia 35 km's N of the City of Revelstoke. Revel Ridge is host to a high-grade gold and polymetallic orogenic sulphide deposit which has been the subject of a Preliminary Economic Assessment Technical Report dated December 8, 2020 and an updated Mineral Resource Estimate with an effective date of November 15, 2021, both published on Sedar.
- Big Copper. Rokmaster controls the Big Copper Property in the Creston area of Southern British Columbia. Big Copper is a high-grade copper-silver occurrence hosted in mid-Proterozoic rocks. Copper-silver mineralization has been traced for 4 km along strike and is exposed in a series of adits and trenches over approximately 400 to 500 m of vertical relief. Big Copper likely belongs to a class of stratabound replacement copper-silver deposits hosted within mid - Proterozoic quartzitic sedimentary rocks. The style and stratigraphic setting of mineralization at Big Copper may be analogous to similar stratabound silver-copper deposits in NW Montana e.g., the Troy Mine (64 million tonnes of 0.74% Cu and 54 g/t Ag (Western Mining History, 2020) or Hecla's Montanore Mine, 112 million tonnes at 51.2 g/t Ag and 0.7% Cu (Hecla, 2020 Annual Report, Pg. 119. www.hecla-mining.com).1
Footnote (1). The qualified person has been unable to verify this inferred resource.
- Duncan Zinc. Duncan is a carbonate hosted silver-lead-zinc deposit located near Duncan Lake in southern British Columbia. The Duncan Deposit is hosted within a Cambrian age Badshot Limestone which also hosts Ag-Pb-Zn mineralization at Teck's currently producing Pend D'Oreille mine, as well as past producers including the Blue Bell Mine, Reeves MacDonald, Jersey-Emerald and HB mines. Mineralization at Duncan Lake forms in the crest and limbs of the regional scale Duncan Lake Anticline, where strong lead-zinc +/- silver mineralization has been traced by surface and underground drilling for approximately 2500 m. At Duncan Lake, Rokmaster will be targeting > 30 Mt of >10% Pb+Zn+Ag. Historical background and a geological synthesis of the Duncan Lake Deposit is provided in a NI 43-101 report by Lane, B., 2018: Technical Report on the Duncan Lake Project.
