Rogue Iron Ore Corp. (TSX VENTURE:RRS) ("Rogue" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce that it has closed the second tranche of its non-brokered private
placement announced on May 16, 2012. In the second tranche the Company issued
1,293,500 non flow through units ("Units") and 2,272,500 flow through units ("FT
Units"). The aggregate capital raised in both tranches is $934,344 through the
issuance of 3,410,167 Units and 3,500,829 FT Units.
"With numerous catalysts on the horizon the Company now has the funds necessary
to ensure our objectives are met. Drilling has been completed at Radio Hill and
as the final assays are received we are able to commence resource estimation in
conjunction with ongoing metallurgical testing. In addition to work at Radio
Hill, we continue to make progress on the previously announced spin-out of a
gold exploration company, Rapier Gold Inc., which is being created by combining
our Timmins West gold property with Rio Tinto's adjacent Nat River gold
discovery," commented Company President and CEO, Stephen de Jong.
Each $0.12 Unit of the private placement consists of one common share and one
half of one non-transferable common share purchase warrant. Each $0.15 FT Unit
consists of one flow through common share and one half of one non-transferable
common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant, whether acquired as part of a
Unit or a FT Unit, will entitle the holder to purchase one common share at an
exercise price of $0.20 for 18 months following completion of the offering.
The private placement and any modifications to it are subject to compliance with
applicable securities laws and final approval from the TSX Venture Exchange. The
Company may pay finders' fees in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture
Exchange.
The proceeds from the issuance of the FT Units will be used to fund exploration
expenditures on the Company's Canadian mineral projects and will qualify as
Canadian exploration expenses (as defined in the Income Tax Act). The Company
intends to use the net proceeds of the offering primarily for expenditures on
the Company's Radio Hill Property and for general working capital.
The Company also announces it has moved to a new location:
P.O. Box 11144, Royal Centre,
1055 West Georgia Street, Suite 2270,
Vancouver, BC V6E 3P3
Telephone and fax numbers remain the same.
About Rogue Iron Ore Corp.:

iron plays as it is on top of exceptional infrastructure, including a highway,

10,500 meter drill program, which will be used for resource estimation and
metallurgical test work once final assays have been received.
Near Term Company Catalysts Include:
-- Results from drilling of thickest portion of Radio Hill Iron Formation -
assays pending
-- Completion of a resource estimate at Radio Hill
-- Results of metallurgical testwork at Radio Hill
-- Completion of spin-out gold company to capitalize on Rio Tinto gold
discovery (visible gold in 11 separate drill intervals, all shallow
drilling)
