VANCOUVER, BC–(Marketwired – November 18, 2016) –
- Completion of Ground Penetrating Radar survey on Silicon Ridge Property
- GPR survey is a step towards an optimized mine plan with more accurate waste definition
- Changes to Corporate Secretary and IR support
Rogue Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: RRS) (“Rogue” or the “Company”) is pleased to report the completion of a Ground Penetrating Radar survey (“GPR”) on its 100% owned Silicon Ridge Project (“Project”), located approximately 42 kilometres (“km”) north of Baie-Saint Paul, Québec. The survey was designed to test the thickness of the overburden cover over the proposed surface expression of the quarry. Results of the survey will be used to quantify the volume of overburden that will be removed and stockpiled and will form a portion of the project optimization process, currently underway.
“We are excited to see these GPR results as it launches us into optimizing the Silicon Ridge Project,” said Sean Samson, President and CEO of Rogue. “Based on Rogue’s understanding of the property, we expect there will be less waste to remove, potentially adding to the near surface quartzite and reducing our overall footprint. We were quite pleased with the results of the previously released PEA, but this should begin leading us to even better project economics. In parallel, we continue conversations with potential customers for our silica and continue to be well-received through that process.”

The Company also announces the appointment of Mr. Paul Davis as Corporate Secretary following the resignation of Ms. Diana Mark from the position.
