NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES Vancouver, BC: Ross River Minerals Inc. (TSX-V: RRM) ("RRM" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding letter of intent (the "LOI") with Signal Capital Management LLC ("Signal") in which Signal or its assigns (the "Placee") will participate in an equity financing ("Private Placement") to be conducted by the Company. Under the terms of the LOI, the Private Placement will total 17,000,000 units, each unit will be priced at $0.12 for gross proceeds of $2,040,000 and will consist of one common share and one half of one common share purchase warrant (the "Warrant"). Each full Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share of RRM for a period of two years at a price of $0.15 for the first year from the date of closing of the Private Placement (the "Closing") and at a price of $0.20 thereafter until the expiry date. If, during the period commencing four months after the date of issuance of the Warrants the closing price of RRM's shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") is $0.30 or higher for ten consecutive trading days, on written notice by RRM to the Placee, RRM may accelerate the exercise period of the Warrants to 60 days from the date of giving such notice to the Placee. The net proceeds of this Private Placement shall be used for drilling programs on the Company's El Pulpo and Liver Peak Projects (the "Projects") and for general corporate purposes. This Private Placement is subject to certain conditions precedent including the execution of a formal subscription agreement and Exchange approval. Upon the Closing of the Private Placement, and for so long as the common shares held by Signal constitute at least 15% of the total outstanding and issued common shares of RRM, Signal will be entitled (but not obliged) to nominate one individual for appointment to the board of directors of RRM.
