ROSCAN GRADUATES TO TIER 2 OF THE TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE
Roscan Minerals Corporation (TSX-V:ROS.H) (“Roscan or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that ,
effective May 30, 2017, Roscan has graduated to the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX -V) as a tier 2 listed
issuer trading under the symbol ROS. As part of the graduation process, the Company has filed its initial
NI 43-101 technical report on SEDAR for the gold prospective Dormaa Project (described below).
The NI 43-101 technical report, completed by Mr. L.K. Mireku P. Geo, recommends a three phase approach
over a period of three years, with a total budget of CAD $2,000,000, which includes a soil/termite geo -
chemical program, 10,000 metres of air -core drilling and 10,000 metres of reverse circulation/diamond-
core (“RC”) drilling. Exploration activity is planned as follows:
Phase 1 (approximately CAD $300,000) consisting of:
o 1,724 soil samples
o 215 termite mound samples
o 3,500m air-core and RC drilling
Phase 2 (approximately CAD $700,000) consisting of:
o 5,000m air-core drilling
o 3,000m RC drilling
Phase 3 (approximately CAD $1 million) consisting of:
o 2,500m air-core drilling
o 6,000m RC drilling
The Phase 1 recommended program is designed to efficiently delineate known high gold anomalous areas
using methodologies which have proven highly successful on other West African greenstone belt
discoveries. These anomalies appear to be the source of substantial unregulated artisanal mining operations
surrounding the property. Phases 2 and 3 are intended to provide a more detailed understanding of the
potential within these anomalies.
About the Dormaa Project (“Dormaa”)
The Dormaa Project is an 86.44 square kilometre gold prospective concession governed by a prospecting
licence in the Brong-Ahafo Regions of Ghana, West Africa. Pelangio Exploration Inc. (“Pelangio”) owns
a 100% interest in the Dormaa Project through its indirectly held, wholly-owned subsidiary, Pelangio Ahafo
(G) Limited (“Pelangio Ghana”).
Roscan entered into an option and joint venture agreement (the “Option ”) with Pelangio on November 7,
2016 (a s further amended on February 14, 2017) pursuant to which the parties established an earn -in
arrangement to jointly advance Dormaa. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Option, Roscan has the
right to earn a 50% interest in Dormaa by: funding CAD $2, 000,000 ($300,000 paid) of exploration
2
expenditures and paying $160,000 ($10,000 paid) to Pelangio over a three year period; and, paying annual
ground rent and mineral right fees.
Pelangio originally acquired Dormaa based on primary regional stream sedi ment data. Subsequently,
Pelangio completed stream sediment surveys into the secondary and tertiary drainages, followed by soil
sampling carried out between 2011 and 2013, under the supervision of Warren Bates, P. Geo. This work
resulted in the discovery of 21 significant gold -in-soil anomalies with the largest measuring up to 4
kilometres long and 500 metres wide
Newly released satellite imagery indicates that substantial, unregulated artisanal and mechanized alluvial
operations surrounding the property were carried out during 2014 -2015. These alluvial operations appear
to be sourced by large gold-in-soil anomalies.
Mr. Warren Bates, P Geo. (APGO #0211), is a qualified person, as defined by NI 43-101, and has
reviewed and approved the technical contents of this press release.
