Rogue Partners with Lintech International, a Contract Processor and
Leading Distributor of Specialty Minerals
• Lintech, based in Georgia, has a distribution network and client relationships across the USA
• Provides access into Specialized markets, despite removing secondary crushing from the Silicon Ridge plan
• Lintech currently sells to clients who require quartz, with chemical and physical characteristics similar to the
planned production from Silicon Ridge
TORONTO, ON – Rogue Resources Inc. (TSX-V: RRS) (“Rogue” or the “Company”) is pleased to report a new Distribution
Agreement signed with Lintech International LLC (“Lintech”) for its 100% owned Silicon Ridge Project (the “Project”),
located approximately 42 km north of Baie-Saint Paul, Québec, and 4 km northeast of Sitec’s operating silica quarry.
After over 30 years of steady growth, Lintech now serves customers across the USA, in a range of markets including
coatings, adhesives, rubber, plastics and composites. With a sales and customer service team that averages more than
20 years in the chemical industry, and with thirteen warehouses across the nation, Lintech has earned a reputation for
excellent technical sales, responsive customer service, and award winning logistical abilities. Lintech will use its existing
infrastructure to coordinate secondary processing and existing client network to distribute products.
“We are excited to partner with Rogue and begin distributing the Silicon Ridge quartz,” said Tom Hinson, Owner of
Lintech. “This quartz product is in demand by our customers and, after meeting multiple times, we have been drawn to
the professional approach the Rogue team has taken- analyzing and methodically advancing the Project.”
“This partnership brings multiple benefits to our Company,” said Sean Samson, President and CEO of Rogue. “We knew
that despite moving to a direct-ship model, and our focus on the silicon metal market, we still wanted access into the
lower volume but higher priced specialized markets. Partnering with Lintech gets us that and also the opportunity to
collaborate with a very experienced group.”
The Specialized Market- not included in the Base Case PEA
In its 2016 analysis, Dorfner ANZAPLAN identified a number of potential end uses for the product from the Silicon Ridge
deposit (see summary of the April 2016 metallurgical report, available on www.rogueresources.ca). Rogue has since
targeted two broad groups of markets: “Commodity” and “Specialized”.
The Commodity group will be direct-shipped from Silicon Ridge as lump product, after selective quarrying (led by the on-
site Rogue team), primary crushing and screening by the Contract Operator of the quarry to a size as required to meet
the specification for ferrosilicon and metallurgical grade silicon producers (averages between 20mm to 120mm). The
Optimized PEA announced earlier the quarter, draws on pricing for only the Commodity group (see Press Release May
23, 2017).
Sales into the Specialized group will likely require secondary processing (now not included as part of the direct-ship
model planned for Silicon Ridge), and the Company has been actively searching for partners to process and help
distribute this material. On a non-exclusive bases, Lintech will target coatings, adhesives, rubber, plastics and
composites sales, across the USA. Sales into the Specialized markets would represent upside to the Base Case and
potential sales of material currently counted as waste.
