Star Metro - ROK Resources Announces the Closing of its Non-Core Southeast Saskatchewan Asset Disposition

REGINA, SK / ACCESS Newswire / July 31, 2026 / ROK Resources Inc. ("ROK" or the "Company") (TSXV:ROK)(OTCQB:ROKRF) is pleased to announce that further to its press release on June 23, 2026, it has successfully completed the previously announced disposition of certain non-core assets located in Southeast Saskatchewan to an arm's length purchaser for cash consideration of $8 million, subject to customary closing adjustments as provided for in the asset purchase and sale agreement dated June 22, 2026 (the "Transaction").

The completed disposition further advances ROK's strategy of optimizing its asset portfolio through the divestiture of non-core, primarily non-operated assets while further strengthening the Company's financial position. The transaction materially reduces future asset retirement obligations and provides additional financial flexibility to fund high-return development opportunities within its operated core areas, pursue accretive acquisition opportunities and evaluate other capital allocation initiatives intended to enhance long-term shareholder value.

ROK expects to release its Q2 2026 financial results, together with an operational update, on August 20, 2026.

Peters & Co. Limited acted as exclusive financial advisor to ROK in connection with the disposition. McDougall Gauley LLP acted as legal counsel to the Company.
