HALIFAX, September 18, 2019 – Roscan Gold Corporation (“Roscan” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: ROS; FSE:2OJ) is pleased to announce the appointment of John R.L. Learn as Exploration Manager. Mr. Learn succeeds Jean-Marc Gagnon who has retired. Roscan’s Board of Directors wishes to thank Mr. Gagnon for his contributions to the Company over the years, including the important role he has played in the development of the Kandiole Project and wish him well for the future.

Mr. Learn is a consulting geologist based in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, and brings 23 years of gold exploration experience in West and East Africa to the Company.

John Learn studied Geology at Brock University (HBSc 1977) and McGill University (MScApp 1981) before beginning his career in uranium and gold exploration in Canada; mainly in the Athabasca Basin and the Abitibi subprovince. Over the years, Mr. Learn worked with various junior and major mining companies in the gold and uranium sectors: former Chief Geologist for 1) Channel Resources (Bombore deposit discovery), 2) High River Gold Mines (Bissa mine discovery) and 3) Goldrush Resources (Ronguen discovery); former Exploration Manager for Iamgold Mali and former General Manager for High River Gold Exploration (Nordgold) from 2014-2018 (Goengo and Tangarsi discoveries at Taparko).

Mr. Learn will be planning, coordinating and overseeing all exploration activities of the Company and will supervise the advancement of the Kandiole project. One of John’s priorities will be to follow-up on the drilling results at the south end of the Mankouke Trend where air core holes are interpreted to have intersected three well mineralized zones as follows:

• Lens 1 – approximately 24 metres wide currently defined by 2 holes returning 3.23 g/t gold over 12 metres and 2.76 g/t gold over 26 metres
• Lens 2 – approximately 48 metres wide currently defined by 3 holes returning 3.74 g/t gold over 30 metres, 5.68 g/t gold over 26 metres and 6.13 g/t gold over 6 metres
• Lens 3 – approximately 4 metres wide defined by 1 hole that returned 4.14 g/t gold over 4 metres.

(See News Release dated August 16, 2019; apparent widths of the interpreted lenses are based on N-S orientation as suggested by orientation of the Siribaya and Mankouke mineralized zones)

Roscan’s President & CEO, Greg Isenor, commented “Having worked on multiple projects in the gold sector, John possesses a vast experience in exploration. His strong expertise will enable Roscan to effectively investigate the exploration potential of our Kandiole Project with a focus on the Mankouke deposit.”
