Roughrider Acquires Claims in Golden Triangle between the Past-Producing Scottie Gold and Granduc Mines

Mergers & Acquisitions Property Options & Staking

NEWS RELEASE

May 19, 2020 TSX.V: REL

Vancouver, BC -- Roughrider Exploration Limited ( "Roughrider" - TSX-V: REL) is pleased to announce it has staked the

6,358.8 hectare Scottie West Property located in the “Golden Triangle” , approximately 30 k ilometres (km) northwest of

Stewart, B.C. and immediately west of the Scottie Gold Mine Property¹. These newly staked claims cover favourable

geology, as mapped by the British Columbia Geological Survey, including Jurassic Hazelton volcanic rocks, Jurassic Texas

Creek Intrusions and Eocene aged intrusions that are also host to numerous mineral occurrences and past producing mines

throughout the Stewart Camp, including Ascot Resources Premier Mine ¹ and Scottie Resources Scottie Gold Mine ¹ (see

Figure 1).

Historical work in the immediate area focused principally on the past producing Scottie Gold gold-silver mine¹ to the east

and on the Granduc base metals m ine¹ to the west of Roughrider ’s new Scottie West Property. Very little historical work

appears to have been undertaken on Roughrider’s property primarily as a r esult of extensive glacial cover which has been

rapidly retreating since the majority of the historical work was completed in the region during the late 1980's.

An assessment report (#33511) filed by Eilat Resources documents a 2012 helicopter-borne magnetic geophysical survey

totaling 332.5 line km at a 150 metre line spacing of whi ch approximately the western 15 % of the survey is now located

within the current Scottie West Property. A smaller subsequent airborne magnetic and spectral survey was flow n in 2016 on

behalf of Eilat within the current Scottie Gold Mine Property (Assessment Report #36318). These airborne

surveys highlighted several prominent north -northwesterly and southwesterly trending features which appear to have a

spatial association with mineral occurrences (see Figure 2).

Roughrider’s CEO, Adam Travis, comments: “The 2019 discovery of the Domino Gold Zone along a mineralized east -west

structure roughly halfway between the Scottie West Property and the historical Scottie Gold mine, as announced by Scottie

Resources Corp. on November 14, 2019 verifies the importance of the magnetic features identified by the previous airborne

surveys. Equally important, it highlights that new discoveries can be made in areas of previous snow and ice cover. A number

of these magnetic features appear to trend onto Roughrider’s Scottie West Property based on the partial historical survey

coverage. I fully expect to visit the area this summer , Covid-19 permitting , to begin reconnaissance exploration and get a

better sense of the extent of glacial retreat and the property’s overall prospectivity. In the meantime, we will continue to

aggressively explore for advanced gold opportunities.”

Roughrider plans to continue compilation of the historical air borne magnetic survey data that was flown over its current

property and proposes to complete airborne geophysical coverage across its property and to conduct initial prospecting

and geological work this summer.
