SERVICES
• Closing Second Tranche of $220,000 of the Private Placement
• Operations have resumed at the Bobcaygeon Quarry with initial sales of limestone
TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / November 7, 2019 / Rogue Resources Inc. (TSX-V:RRS)
("Rogue" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the closing of a second tranche of its
previously announced private placement and the resumption of operations at the Bobcaygeon
limestone quarry (the "Bobcaygeon Quarry") (see the August 12, 2019 and October 25, 2109
press releases).
"We are pleased with the continued interest from new and existing investors who are drawn to
the fundamentals of the Rogue Stone business. It's also quite exciting to make our first stone
sales", said Sean Samson, President and CEO of Rogue, "This second tranche of the financing
will allow Rogue to ramp up operations, consistent with our planned acquisition model. We
expect to have an additional update on the Orillia Quarry and Rogue's continued financing
efforts over the coming weeks."
Closing Tranche 2 of the Private Placement
On October 25, 2019 the Company announced the closing of a first tranche of its previously
announced private placement (the "Offering") for aggregate gross proceeds of $401,600 by way
of the issuance and sale of 4,016,000 Units (a "Unit") at a price of $0.10 per Unit. Each Unit
consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant")
entitling the holder thereof to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.20 for two
years. The Warrants are exercisable over a two year term and not a one year term as previously
announced in Rogue's September 3, 2019 press release.
Today, the Company closed the second tranche of the private placement, receiving aggregate
gross proceeds of $220,000, from the issuance and sale of a further 2,200,000 Units. In
connection with closing of this tranche of the Offering, the Company has paid finder's fees of
$7,700 and has issued 77,000 non-transferable warrants ("Finder's Warrants") to certain arm's
length finders. Each Finder's Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional common share
at a price of $0.20 for a period of 24 months from the closing date.
The common shares and Warrants issued at closing are subject to the final approval of the TSX
Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") and to resale restrictions in accordance with applicable
securities laws.
Private Placement Extension
The Company is also pleased to announce that the TSXV has granted Rogue an extension until
November 22, 2019 to close additional tranches of the Offering, if any.
Bobcaygeon Quarry Update
The Company has restarted operations at the Bobcaygeon Quarry including delivery of heavy
mining equipment, securing a quarry team and completing sales of the existing inventory
available at the site. Additional equipment and labour will be retained as new limestone products
are extracted from the quarry for sale.
The work completed on the Bobcaygeon Quarry at this stage is preliminary in nature and the
limited drill data and exploration work are too speculative geologically to have economic
considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized even as Mineral
Resources. Rogue does not intend to complete a Pre-feasibility or Feasibility Study of Mineral
Reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability before a decision to proceed with
further investment into the Bobcaygeon Quarry. Projects that are based on a production decision
without a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical feasibility
have increased uncertainty and economic and technical risks of failure associated with its
production decision. This potential decision would be based on past production performance, the
results of negotiated cost estimates as well as the securing of supply contracts for the
Bobcaygeon limestone products. Among the risks associated the Bobcaygeon Quarry and with
any development decision to proceed into further production is the possibility that the quarry will
not be economically or technically viable and/or that development timetables, cost estimates and
production forecasts may not be realized.
Rogue's acquisition of the Bobcaygeon Quarry remains subject to the transfer of the permit and
final approval of the TSXV.
Rogue Initiates Market Making Service
Subject to regulatory approval, Rogue has retained Mackie Research Capital Corporation
("Mackie") to provide market making services to the Company in compliance with the policies
and guidelines of the TSXV. Mackie is one of Canada's largest independent full service
investment firms and provides a full complement of capital markets and wealth management
services to private clients, institutions and growth companies. Mackie will trade shares of Rogue
on the TSXV with the objective of maintaining a reasonable market and improving the liquidity
of Rogue's common shares. Under the terms of the agreement, Mackie will receive $4,000 per
month payable quarterly. Mackie and Rogue are unrelated and unaffiliated entities. Mackie
currently does not have any direct or indirect interest in Rogue or its securities. The agreement
will continue in effect unless terminated by either party. There are no performance factors
contained in the agreement and Mackie will not receive shares or options as compensation.
