Rogue Iron Ore Corp. (TSX VENTURE:RRS) (the "Company") is pleased to announce a
non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") to raise up to $545,000
through the issuance of up to 4.96 million subscription receipts ("Subscription
Receipts") at a price of $0.11 per Subscription Receipt (the "Subscription
Price"). Each Subscription Receipt represents the right to receive on
conversion, automatically and for no further consideration at the Conversion
Date (as defined below), one (1) flow-through share (as defined in the Income
Tax Act (Canada)) in the capital of the Company (a "FT Common Share") and
one-half of one (0.5) non flow-through, non-transferable share purchase warrant
(a "Warrant"). Each whole Warrant will entitle the subscriber, upon exercise, to
purchase one common share in the capital of the Company (a "Common Share") at a
price of $0.15 up to and including the day that is eighteen (18) months
following the Conversion Date (the "Warrant Expiry Date").


Subscription proceeds will be held in escrow by Computershare Trust Company of
Canada (the "Escrow Receipt Agent") until the Conversion Date. At the earlier of
(i) the business day following closing of the spin-out by the Company of its
shareholdings in Rapier Gold Inc. ("Rapier") pursuant to a plan of arrangement
between the Company and Rapier or (ii) December 21, 2012 (whichever is first to
occur being the "Conversion Date"), each Subscription Receipt shall be released
from escrow to the subscribers and shall automatically convert to FT Common
Shares and Warrants and the subscription proceeds shall be released from escrow
to the Company.


In connection with the Private Placement, the Corporation shall pay Marquest
Asset Management Inc. a finder's fee comprised of (i) a cash fee equal to seven
percent (7%) of the gross subscription proceeds, and (ii) broker warrants
("Broker Warrants") entitling Marquest, upon exercise of the Broker Warrants, to
purchase, in aggregate, Common Shares equal to seven percent (7.0%) of the
number of FT Common Shares sold pursuant to the Private Placement. Such Broker
Warrants shall be exercisable at a price of $0.15 per Common Share until the
Warrant Expiry Date.


In compliance with Canadian securities laws and the rules of the TSX Venture
Exchange, (i) the FT Common Shares, the Warrants and the Broker Warrants will be
subject to a hold period of four (4) months following the Conversion Date, and
(ii) the Common Shares underlying the Broker Warrants will be subject to a four
(4) month hold period following their issuance upon exercise of the Broker
Warrants.


The Private Placement and any modifications thereto are subject to compliance
with applicable securities laws and to receipt of the approval of the TSX
Venture Exchange. The subscription proceeds from the Private Placement shall be
used to fund exploration expenditures on the Company's Canadian mineral projects
(primarily the Company's Radio Hill property) and will qualify as Canadian
exploration expenses (as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)).


The Company reserves the right to increase the size of the private placement or
to modify the type, nature and/or price of the units for any reason.
