Rogue Update: Selling Langmuir Project

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR TO US WIRE SERVICES

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / March 4, 2021 / Rogue Resources Inc. (TSXV:RRS) (“Rogue” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that further to its news release dated January 11, 2020, the Company intends to transfer its ownership and rights in the Langmuir project located southeast of Timmins, Ontario (the “Langmuir Project”) to EV Nickel Inc. (“EVNi”), a private company incorporated under the laws of Ontario. The transfer will be completed pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated March 4, 2021 between Rogue and EVNi (the “Agreement”).

Rogue has been advised that EVNi plans to immediately raise a minimum of $1.5 million under a non-brokered private placement (the “Concurrent Financing”) to begin advancing the Langmuir Project through exploration. The transfer of the Langmuir Project and completion of the Concurrent Financing are expected to close in the coming weeks.

EVNi structure and governance

EVNi is a recently created private Ontario company established to advance the exploration of Langmuir. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Rogue will hold at least 20% of the shares of EVNi at closing of the Concurrent Financing and after the subsequent transfer of the Langmuir Project. The initial board of directors of EVNi will constitute five members and include two Rogue representatives. Rogue will have a continuing right to nominate two directors if the Company holds a minimum of 20% of EVNi shares and one director if the Company holds a minimum of 10% of EVNi shares.

Consideration to Rogue

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, and in consideration for the transfer of the Langmuir Project, Rogue will hold at least 20% of the shares of EVNi after the Concurrent Financing and receive $150,000 in cash at closing. In addition to the consideration paid at closing, an additional future payment will be received by the Company based on the size of an updated new mineral resource estimate, expected to be completed by EVNi in early 2022. This payment will be up to a maximum of $5,000,000 paid in cash, EVNi shares, or a combination thereof with the split to be determined by EVNi.

Rationale for the Transaction

As highlighted during Rogue’s October 2020 and January 2021 Investor Calls, the strengthened nickel price market has led to increased demand for potential nickel investment stories. The Langmuir Project is a non-core asset to Rogue but has a 14.8M pound, high-grade nickel Resource (See news release dated May 19, 2010 for details, available on SEDAR). With a 9,200 hectare land package and located just 25 km southeast of Timmins, Langmuir is well-positioned for further exploration.
