Rogue Resources Inc.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire -08/16/11)- Rogue Resources Inc. (TSX-V: RRS.V - News) (the "Company") announces it has initiated its exploration program on the Company's flagship Radio Hill Iron Ore property, located 85 km southwest of Timmins, Ontario. Drilling is expected to commence this month. The Company announced in July it has entered into a drilling contract with Orbit Garant Drilling Inc. (TSX: OGD.TO - News). The first phase of work will begin with drilling on the southern portion of the project and is part of a larger 10,000 m program. The Radio Hill deposit(i) was developed in the 1960s by Kukatush Mining Corp. who spent an estimated $10 million on exploration and metallurgical work including 140 drill holes and a number of metallurgical studies. Following resource definition a feasibility study was initiated and was deemed encouraging enough that Kukatush built a railway siding and grade from the Canadian National (CN) mainline to the deposit, a distance of about 4 km.

The Company's exploration and management team conducted a site visit in July with its consulting group, SGS Geostat ("SGS"), who have been retained to compile a NI 43-101 compliant resource calculation for Radio Hill. Following a review of the historical work, an initial 3,100 m drill program will be conducted to confirm the historical geological model and to determine the subsequent steps in the exploration program. This first phase of drilling will comprise the twinning of some historical holes to test the accuracy and geometry of the historical model built in the 1960s. Recent work has focused on locating and geo-referencing historical drill holes.

While building a new resource estimate, the Company will try to use as much of the historical data as possible. In order to confirm the geometry of the old geological model the sedimentary unit that forms the footwall to the banded iron formation will be used as a geological reference. This footwall contact to the south of the deposit is well defined in the historic sections and easily identified in drill core and should provide a good test of the historic model. The proposed drilling program investigates this sedimentary contact over a 1,600 m strike length and should allow for some conclusions on the historical work, its accuracy, and how much duplication of the old work will be required in order to produce a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate. If the review of the historical geological model satisfies the qualified persons for the project, the Company will proceed with digitizing the historical work for further modelling of the resources. This Phase I drilling could, if desired, also be used to conduct a preliminary resource estimation of the southern portion of the deposit.

Drilling will be conducted by Orbit Garant Drilling Inc. of Val-d'Or and core logging will be conducted in Rogue's exploration office (Falconbridge's former facility) in the city of Timmins.

Radio Hill

The Radio Hill Project is located 85 km southwest of Timmins in an area known for its excellent infrastructure and access to mining expertise. The property's excellent location is complimented by its easy access to rail, with the southern portion of the project being transected by the CN Railway mainline.

The historical feasibility study determined by FENCO Ltd. indicated a 3.5 concentration ratio (3.5 tons of iron ore produced 1 ton of concentrate) which would produce a concentrate grade of between 66% and 68%. At that time recovery and pelletizing tests were also conducted which included both laboratory and pilot testing of grinding, concentrating and pelletizing practices (Neal and Ridell, 1965). This historic metallurgical test work indicated that a commercially acceptable iron concentrate could be produced from Radio Hill mineralized material using magnetic separation followed by flotation.

The Company also announces that under the terms of its Stock Option Plan it has granted 1,595,000 incentive stock options to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company, effective August 16, 2011. The options are exercisable into common shares of the Company at $0.26 per share and carry a seven year term.

ABOUT ROGUE RESOURCES

In June of 2011 the Company completed a financing for $4,600,000 with the use of proceeds primarily allocated for exploration/resource definition at Radio Hill. Because of the advanced stage of the asset the Company's next milestone will be the completion of a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate.

In addition to the Radio Hill Project the Company has a 100% interest in Langmuir Nickel project which has a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate of 677,000 tonnes of 1.0% Nickel and 0.06% copper, Measured & Indicated, and 171,000 tonnes of 0.89% Nickel. The Company has contracted SRK Consulting Ltd. to complete a scoping study on the project which is now nearing completion of the metallurgical portion.

The Company also has several large land packages within the Abitibi Greenstone Belt of the Timmins Camp that host VMS, base metal and lode gold potential in addition to gold properties in the Kirkland Lake area and base metal properties in Bathurst, New Brunswick.
