    Rogue Resources Inc.  1526  0 Kommentare Quebec Government to Finance Bringing Hydro Power to the Capital-Nationale and Charlevoix Region of Quebec

    VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Feb. 18, 2015) - Rogue Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:RRS) ("Rogue" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Government of Québec as part of its 2013-2020 Climate Change Action Plan, will be providing Sitec Quartz Inc., with over $2 million dollars in financial assistance to build a 31 km hydro power line that will connect to the Hydro-Québec power grid. Mine Sitec's quarry and property are located adjacent to Rogue's wholly owned Lac de la Grosse Femelle silica project. This funding will allow the conversion from diesel electricity to hydroelectricity, greatly reducing Mine Sitec's environmental footprint, and is projected to increase productivity, add to its workforce and reduce overall production costs.

    "The announcement by the Québec Government of financial assistance through its Eco-Performance Programme to Mine Sitec is significant for Rogue as it brings hydroelectric power within 4 km of our silica project and reaffirms the commitment the Québec government has to job creation and the recovery of the economy in this region," stated Rogue CEO and President, John de Jong. "The opportunity to connect with Hydro Québec, should production be initiated on our silica project, will be economically and environmentally beneficial to Rogue and the region."

    Work continues on preparing for an extensive exploration program that has been planned for Rogue's Lac de la Grosse Femelle silica project early in Q2. Preliminary work has begun on site and the permitting process is well underway.

    Rogue is pleased to announce that Mr. Mackenzie Iles Watson, B.Sc., P.Eng has joined Rogue as a technical advisor. Mackenzie, better known as Mac, was described best by the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame at his January 2015 induction, and we quote: "Geological acumen, entrepreneurial instincts, and an engaging personality are some of the qualities that contributed to the extraordinary success achieved by Mackenzie Watson during his 50-year career in the Canadian mining industry. His impressive track record of discovery includes involvement in the Holloway gold project in Ontario, chromite deposits in the Ring of Fire district, and the Strange Lake rare earths project in Québec. He also built flagship Freewest Resources into a respected project generator and provided leadership and support to junior companies and industry associations.
