Roughrider to Begin Fieldwork on Its Houston Area Projects in Central British

Columbia

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 5, 2017 / Roughrider Exploration Limited (TSX-

V: REL) ("Roughrider") is pleased to announce work programs will commence in early December on

its recently acquired Sterling and Silver Ace properties, located eight kilometres north and 5 kilometres

south of Houston, BC, respectively (see News Releases dated November 16 and 22, 2017). The planned

work includes two approximately 25 line-kilometre grids of ground magnetometer and Very Low

Frequency ("VLF") electromagnetic geophysical surveys. The geophysical survey work has been

contracted to SJ Geophysics Ltd. of Delta, BC.

"Data from the magnetic and VLF-EM surveys will assist with future work programs by potentially

outlining prospective fault structures hidden under the mantle of glacial and colluvial cover material. The

planned work areas have not been subjected to this sort of geophysics. Structural controls appear to be

critical to recent discoveries in the region, so generating this data is an important first step," explained

Roughrider Vice President of Exploration, David Tupper.

One grid will cover the Joe B silver-copper quartz vein occurrence on the east side of the Sterling

property. Other than the original 1928 Ministry of Mines description of the Joe B there is no historic work

reported in the glacially obscured area. The currently planned work is designed to assist in outlining

possible extensions to structures associated with the Joe B occurrence. At the Silver Ace property, the

planned exploration is designed to identify possible east-west vein structures known to occur in the area.

Genesis Uranium Update

As noted in the news release of October 10th, Roughrider and partner Kivalliq Energy recently completed

a 1,223 km. ZTEM survey over four grid areas on the Genesis Uranium project in the Athabasca Basin

area of Saskatchewan. The goal of the survey is to further define drill targets on this large project area.

Management expects to receive final modelled results and interpretation from the survey in the next few

weeks.

Qualified Person

David Tupper, P. Geo. is a qualified person ("QP") within the context of National Instrument 43-101, and

has prepared, read and approved the technical aspects of this news release.

About Roughrider Exploration Limited

Roughrider and its partner Kivalliq Energy are exploring the Genesis uranium project located in the

addition, Roughrider recently acquired an option to earn a 100% interest in the Iron Butte project in

Nevada which contains a historic bulk tonnage gold resource and has now added the Silver Ace and

Sterling projects in central British Columbia.
