Rogue Update: Langmuir Project Sold to EV Nickel Inc.

TORONTO, ON – Rogue Resources Inc. (TSX-V: RRS) (“Rogue” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that further to its news release dated March 4, 2021, the Company has now sold 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.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreement dated March 4, 2021 between Rogue and EVNi (the “Agreement”) the following conditions were met today:

 

• EVNi closed the first tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the “Concurrent Financing”) for proceeds of more than $1,500,000;

• Rogue has been granted shares for >20% in EVNi and been paid $150,000 in cash;

• Rogue has transferred the Langmuir Project claims to EVNi.

 

Additional Consideration to Rogue

 

In addition to the consideration paid at closing, a 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 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.
