Partnered with Option Holders to amend timing of cash payments for the Snow White Property

To date, Rogue has made cash payments totaling CAD$95,000. Under the terms of the Amended Agreement, Rogue has agreed to deliver additional cash payments of up to an aggregate of CAD$440,000 upon the earlier of achievement of certain production milestones and the end of 2024 (the "Payment Period") starting in December 2020. All other terms of the Agreement remain unchanged.

The negotiated amended agreement shifts the payment schedule by 1 year, extending the term of the agreement to 2024 and increases the 2020 payment to $120,000 to maintain the option in good standing, adding a total of $40,000 to the aggregate payments .

Captis Intelligence Partners With Milestone Systems to Launch Industry-First, VMS-Embedded Subject Identification Application

Allows Milestone XProtect Users to ID Individuals with One Click

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 21, 2020 / Captis Intelligence, a leader in I-4 crime solutions delivering Intelligence, Information, Investigation and Identification, today announced a significant new partnership with Milestone, the world's largest Video Management System provider. Captis ODSI (On-Demand Subject Identification), a plug-in application exclusively designed for Milestone's leading XProtect VMS, is now available on the Milestone Marketplace. The app provides end-users with a completely embedded solution to instantly identify individuals in seconds with one click. An industry first, Captis ODSI includes exclusive access to the Captis Database, the largest private database of criminals in North America with over 30 million images.

More than 22,000 locations in North America, including dozens of Fortune 500 organizations, are already using Captis ODSI to identify thousands of criminals. The integration of this breakthrough technology leverages the Milestone XProtect VMS platform to add a seamlessly embedded post-incident identification system. XProtect users can simply pause/still a recorded incident video and then press the Captis logo below the video to instantly run an ODSI scan across the Captis database. Results are displayed within XProtect according to match percentages.

"We are proud of the new subject identification capabilities that this industry-first solution brings to Milestone XProtect users," stated Dario Brebric, President of Captis Intelligence. "The ability to get results within seconds from our unique database of over 30 million images is a game-changer for security."

The Captis ODSI plug-in is now available on the Milestone Marketplace for customers within North America. Users can select a camera to register, complete a transaction, and have unlimited access immediately. Captis ODSI has resulted in decreasing criminal investigation time from weeks to seconds. Used as a post-incident investigation tool, Captis ODSI eliminates the need to scan and catalog pictures of the general public, focusing only on identifying subjects who have committed crimes. The Captis database contains only criminals whose records have been made publicly available, further amplifying Captis' commitment in a non-intrusive suspect identification system.

"Through this collaboration, Milestone XProtect users have the unique opportunity to quickly identify criminals directly through their VMS," said Brebric. "We at Captis are committed to developing new and better ways to create a more secure environment."

Sasol Limited (NYSE:SSL)
Class Period: March 10, 2015 to January 13, 2020
Lead Plaintiff Deadline: April 6, 2020

The complaint alleges that during the class period Sasol Limited made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Sasol had conducted insufficient due diligence into and failed to account for multiple issues with, the Lake Charles Chemicals Project ("LCCP"), as well as the true cost of the project; (ii) construction and operation of the LCCP was consequently plagued by control weaknesses, delays, rising costs, and technical issues; (iii) these issues were exacerbated by Sasol's top-level management, who engaged in improper and unethical behavior with respect to financial reporting for the LCCP and the project's oversight; (iv) all the foregoing was reasonably likely to render the LCCP significantly more expensive than disclosed and negatively impact the Company's financial results; and (v) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

HP Inc. (NYSE:HPQ)
Class Period: February 23, 2017 to October 3, 2019
Lead Plaintiff Deadline: April 20, 2020

According to the filed complaint, defendants knew that HP's "four-box" model for measuring its supplies business was severely deficient and not a strong predictor of supplies demand and outcomes because HP lacked telemetry data from its commercial printers and had to use unreliable and stagnant market share data to develop assumptions for the four-box model. The complaint further alleges that defendants knew the lack of telemetry data for commercial printing was a critical shortcoming of the four-box model because HP possessed telemetry data on its personal printing side and knew it was a necessary element for an accurate understanding of the supplies channel. As a result, the supplies inventory in the Company's channel exceeded demand by at least $100 million, and HP's supplies revenue growth was grossly inflated.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 21, 2020 / International Montoro Resources Inc. (TSXV:IMT), (Frankfurt:O4T1), (the "Company").

Each unit will consist of one (1) common share (the "Common Share") and one warrant the ("Warrant"). Each full Warrant shall entitle the holder to acquire one (1) Common Share at a price of $0.05 for a period of 24 months.

The pricing of the Private Placement was made in reliance on the temporary relief measures established by the TSX Venture Exchange Bulletin dated April 7, 2014. The price per Common Share was set at the last trading price on the TSX Venture Exchange before the issuance of the initial press release.

The Company may pay commissions of 8% to eligible parties in connection with this Private Placement, payable either in cash and/or in warrants; in accordance with the policies of the TSX-V.

As announced on February 6, 2020, the Company closed its first tranche as to 5,465,000 units for gross proceeds of $191,275. A finder's fee of $2,800 cash and 80,000 Warrants were paid and issued.

While the company intends to use the proceeds as stated herein, there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, funds may be reallocated at the discretion of the board.

The CEO/President's wife participated in the 1st tranche closing of the Private Placement. Mr. Musil has trading authority over her account. The participation in the Private Placement by directors and executive officers of the Company may be considered a "related party transaction" (the "Related Party") as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("Ml 61-101"). The Company has determined that exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements under Ml 61-101 are available. In particular, the Company has determined that the exemptions set out in paragraphs (a) and (b) in section 5.5 of Ml 61-101 are applicable since the aggregate consideration to be paid by the Related Party does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company and the Company is not listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, but only on the TSX Venture Exchange. In addition, regarding the minority shareholder approval exemptions, the independent directors have determined that the exemptions set out in paragraphs (l)(a) and (b) in section 5.7 of Ml 61-101 are applicable in that the aggregate consideration to be paid by the Related Party does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company, the distribution of the securities to the Related Party has a fair market value of not more than $10,500 and the Company is not listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, but only on the TSX Venture Exchange.

The Company intends to use the additional $158,725 proceeds to be raised from the Private Placement for continued exploration on its existing properties- $30,000; already incurred expenses- $12,000 (Serpent River); and $25,000 on previously approved property payments (Wicheeda North-REE property). The balance of $91,725 will maintain existing operation expenses as follows: Regulatory fees-$5,000; Legal & Accounting-$10,000; Investor & Shareholder Relations including travel & advertising-$5,000; Management Fees-$5,000; Outstanding Payables and Unallocated Working Capital -$66,725.

While the Company intends to spend the net proceeds from the offering as stated above, there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, funds may be reallocated at the discretion of the Board.

The securities issued under the Private Placement, and the Common Shares that may be issuable on exercise of the Warrants, are subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of closing. The closing of the 2nd tranche is subject to the prior approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
