REGINA, SK / ACCESS Newswire / June 5, 2025 / ROK Resources Inc. ("ROK" or the "Company") (TSXV:ROK)(OTCQB:ROKRF) is pleased to announce that it has received acceptance for its intention to make a normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") to purchase and cancel up to 18,284,409 in the capital of the Company ("Common Shares") during the one-year period from June 10, 2025 to June 9, 2026.

The Company's Board of Directors has authorized the NCIB, believing it to be in the best interests of both the Company and its shareholders. The Board considers it an effective use of the Company's financial resources to return capital to shareholders by repurchasing Common Shares when their market price does not fully reflect their intrinsic value. Although the Company presently intends to purchase Common Shares under the NCIB, there can be no assurance that any such purchases will be completed. All Common Shares purchased under the NCIB will be returned to treasury and cancelled.

As of June 5, 2025, the Company has 219,769,315 Common Shares issued and outstanding and 182,844,090 common shares issued and outstanding after excluding common shares beneficially owned by directors and executive officers of the Company and persons who beneficially own or exercise control or direction over more than 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company (the "Public Float"). The 18,284,409 Common Shares under the NCIB represent 10% of the Public Float. Pursuant to TSXV rules, the Company may purchase up to, but not more than 2% of its issued and outstanding Common Shares in any 30-day period during the term of the NCIB.

National Bank Financial Inc.of Toronto, Ontario has been appointed by the Company as its broker to facilitate the open market purchase of its Common Shares pursuant to the NCIB. All purchases of Common Shares under the NCIB will be undertaken through the facilities of the TSXV at the prevailing current market price of the Common Shares as traded on the TSXV.

Shareholders of the Company will be advised of the NCIB in the next quarterly report of the Company to be filed on SEDAR+. Shareholders may obtain a copy of the Notice of Intention to Make a Normal Course Issuer Bid from the Company without charge.
