TORONTO, Sept. 17, 2015 /CNW/ - Roxgold Inc. (the "Company" or "Roxgold ") (ROG.TSX-V) would like to confirm that development at the Yaramoko Gold Project has not been materially affected by the recent political upheaval in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.  All construction activities at the Yaramoko site are continuing as planned at present.

The high grade Yaramoko Gold Project is 200 kilometres southwest from the capital city of Ouagadougou.  Management in Burkina Faso and Canada will continue to monitor activity in the region to ensure the continued safety and security of all Roxgold employees, in Ouagadougou and on site.

Forward-looking information contained in this news release is based on certain factors and assumptions regarding, among other things, the estimation of mineral resources and mineral reserves, the realization of resource estimates and reserve estimates, gold metal prices, the timing and amount of future exploration and development expenditures, the estimation of initial and sustaining capital requirements, the estimation of labour and operating costs, the availability of necessary financing and materials to continue to explore and develop the Yaramoko Gold Project in the short and long-term, the progress of exploration and development activities, the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange for the balance of the AUMS equity financing facility,  and assumptions with respect to currency fluctuations, environmental risks, title disputes or claims, and other similar matters.
