NEWS RELEASE
DORMAA GOLD PROJECT - GEOCHEMICAL SAMPLING PROGRAM UPDATE
Toronto, September 6, 2017 – RosCan Minerals Corporation (“ RosCan” or the “ Company”) (TSX -V: ROS) is pleased to
provide an update on the geochemical sampling activity at the Dormaa Gold Project in Ghana, West Africa. RosCan is earning
a 50% interest in the Dormaa Gold Project from Pelangio Exploration Inc. (‘Pelangio’) .
GEOCHEMICAL SURVEYS COMPLETED ON THE DORMAA GOLD PROJECT
The recently completed in -fill soils and termite mound geochemical sampling program covered a 9 km by 2 km area and
followed-up on the most prominent group of previously identified gold anomalies. The program consisted of tak ing almost
2,000 samples over a total of 75 lineal kilometers of the project area. All samples have been sent for assay analysis and the
results will be released once they are received, validated and compiled.
The geochemical program results, together wit h prior geochemical results and geological mapping, will be used to plan the
next phase, consisting of air core, reverse circulation and RAB drilling as warranted. For further details about the Dormaa
Project and the joint venture with Pelangio, refer to RosCan’s press release dated March 6, 2017.
COMMENTARY
“I was favourably impressed with the Dormaa property and the Pelangio team”, commented RosCan President Greg Isenor,
following his first site inspection since his appointment as President. “ I had the opportunity to inspect both the overall
property area as well as the substantial gold anomalies that are of immediate interest. I reviewed a detailed report on all the
exploration results to date as well as the plans for future drill programs on the identified targets and I’m eagerly looking
forward to the future drilling results”.
“In addition to the Dormaa Project”, Mr. Isenor said, “RosCan is also evaluating further high-potential projects in Ghana, and
other areas of West Africa. During my stay in the region, I renewed acquaintances with other gold companies, had a number
of meetings with government officials and met with private exploration permit owners. We are currently reviewing a growing
list of potential gold projects for possible acquis ition and joint venture. As with the other West African gold producing
countries, Ghana also has extensive exploration potential. Given the favourable geology, the potential for new gold
discoveries is substantial and presents RosCan with a clear opportunity for accretive acquisitions”.
“I am very excited to be working in West Africa and I look forward to building RosCan into a successful West African gold
company”, stated Mr. Isenor.
ABOUT THE DORMAA GOLD PROJECT
In November 2016, RosCan acquired an option to earn a 50% interest in the 86.44 square kilometer Dormaa Project, an early-
stage gold exploration project located in western Ghana, for $160,000 cash and $2,000,000 of exploration expenditures over
three years.
The Dormaa Project is underlain by Birimian metavolcanic and metasediment units of the Sunyani Basin which is parallel
to the prolific Sefwi -Bibiani Belt - host to Newmont’s Ahafo and Kinross’ Chirano gold deposits. The geology of
southwestern Ghana is dominated by Birimian Sup ergroup sedimentary and volcanic rocks. The Birimiam of the Dormaa
region is characterised by hydrothermal deposits associated with NW -SE trending shear zones . The region represents one
of the most significant Proterozic greenstone gold belts in the world hosting a number of significant deposits as shown
on Map 1 below.
Newly released satellite imagery indicates that extensive unregulated artisanal and mechanized alluvial mining operations
have been operating in the drainage systems in the eastern portion of the Dormaa permit area. These alluvial operations
appear to be sourced by large gold-in-soil anomalies on or around the Dormaa permit.

Between 2011 and 2013 broad spaced geochemical sampling over the entire property area , followed by closer spaced
sampling over the norther n one-third of the property area , revealed 21 significant gold -in-soil anomalies with the largest
measuring up to 4 kilometres long and 500 metres wide.
