Rogue Resources Inc. ("Rogue" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that assay results from the Lac de la Grosse Femelle silica project ("Femelle") located approximately 42 kilometers ("km") north of Baie-Saint Paul, Québec, and 4 km northeast of Sitec's operating silica mine have been received. The drill core assays from the first drill hole completed on the 'G' quartzite unit returned assays of up to 99.6% silica.
The channel sample assay results of samples R13B, R13C, and R13D recorded up to 99.9% high purity silica SiO2, were taken from the newly discovered "H" pure white, coarse-grained, massive and crystalline quartzite unit that demonstrates no apparent discolouration.
"The high purity silica assays of up to 99.6% in the drill core, coupled with the high purity silica assays of up to 99.9% from the three additional channels collected on the "H" quartzite unit is highly encouraging", commented Company President and CEO, John de Jong. "The assays from the first drill hole are significant as they parallel to a large degree the channel sample assays located at surface above this hole. We look forward to receiving the assay results from successive drill core over the coming weeks and months, as we complete our 2015 drill program. This information will give us the data necessary to calculate the volume and consistency of silica purity throughout the quartzite units for a planned resource calculation in the New Year."

The Company is also pleased to announce that it has expanded its current drill program to 7,500 meters. Twenty one of the 25 Phase One drill holes, comprising 3,150 m have been completed to date. An additional drill arrived on September 17th and has already completed two holes for a total of 350 m of the Phase 2 drill program. With the arrival of the second drill, all drilling, including the additional meters, are expected to be completed prior to the end of November. The drill plan has been designed to test the extent of Quartzite Unit "G" and the newly discovered "H" Quartzite unit, including their purity, depth, width and length of extension below surface. Upon receiving all of the assays and compiling the results, an independent firm will be tasked with preparing a NI43-101 compliant resource report and a corresponding Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA").
Channel Sample Update
Channel R13B, R13C and R13D collected on the "H" quartzite unit located 230 m north-northeast of the 1.65 km strike length "G" quartzite unit returned assays of up to 99.9% high-purity silica Si02. Channel sampling demonstrate that the quartzites are white, of high purity and have minor amounts of secondary minerals.

Drilling Update
All 32 drill pads have been prepared to date. Drilling takes place 24 hours per day and both Phase One and Phase Two programs are scheduled to be completed by mid-to-late November. As part of the Company's commitment to preserve the local fauna and forest, remediation of each drill site and access point takes place immediately upon leaving the location and as the project progresses.
To date 23 drill holes have been completed, GF15-1 to GF15-23 (Table #6 & 6B), for a total of 3,150 m. Fourteen drill holes, GF15-1 to GF15-3, GF15-5 to GF15-13, GF15-21 and GF15-23, intersected quartzite over a strike length of 550 m on the western end of the Quartzite G (See map link). The quartzite has a true width of 76 m to 94 m of white to pinkish-red quartzite that is coarse, crystalline and massive to banded. On the eastern side of Quartzite G, five drill holes, GF15-17 to GF15-20 and GF15-22 (See map link), intersected quartzite over a strike length of 410 m with true widths of 35 m to 76 m that widens and remains open eastward. The quartzite is white, coarse, crystalline, and massive.
Quartzite H, located 225 m north of Quartzite G, was drilled by hole GF15-4 intersecting 44 m of white quartzite, coarse grain, crystalline and massive. The quartzite is open in both directions, east-west, and will be drilled within the next several weeks.
