“These drill results demonstrate an expansion of the high-grade zone in the North Basin target. Given our existing
extensive Nevada resource inventory; the expansion potential of the Oreana trend and the Company’s unique
networking capability, Rye Patch has a clear path to meet its corporate resource inventory objectives”,
commented William C. (Bill) Howald, the Company’s CEO and President.

Drillholes WR-081, and WR-087, drilled in 2008, along with drillholes WR-094, drilled in 2009, and WR-095 and
WR-099 have all intercepted higher grade gold values (see previous news releases of the Company dated
November 25, 2008 and February 23, 2010). Using a 5 g/t gold cutoff grade and a minimum drill intercept of 3
meters, gold values range from 5.9 g/t Au in WR-095 to 11.82 g/t Au in WR-087 over 3 to 6 metre intervals. To
date, the drilling has defined a rectangular mineralized area measuring 100 metres by 200 metres that is open
along a west-southwest oriented trend paralleling the northern limb of the Section Line anticline at the geologic
contact between an upper siltstone unit and a lower claystone lithology. The contact zone is a regional feature
which has exploration implications for the Oreana trend.
The high-grade zone is open to the west-southwest. The identified high-grade zone could be the feeder structure
for the Section Line deposit. Continued drilling and offsetting of the high-grade zone will be required to verify this
idea.
The present drill program is anticipated to continue until late June. A total of eleven reverse circulation drillholes
is anticipated to be completed in the spring program. Assay results for drillholes WR-101 to WR-103 are pending,
WR-104 is in progress, and WR-105 is planned. The drilling contractor, Boart-Longyear, has been apprised that a
second pass program is envisioned for late summer.
As announced on May 18, 2010, May 11, 2009, and June 2, 2009 in respect of the Lincoln Hill, Wilco, and Jessup
projects, Rye Patch Gold’s resource inventory now totals 1,182,780 ounces of gold equivalent in the measured
and indicated category plus 2,727,100 ounces of gold equivalent in the inferred category. The following table
summarizes Rye Patch Gold’s precious metal inventory in Nevada, USA.

definitions;
(2) Cutoff grade for Wilco Measured and Indicated resource is reported at 0.2 g/t Au for oxide mineralisation and 1.45 g/t Au for sulphide
mineralisation. The Inferred resource cut-off grade is reported at 0.2 g/t Au for oxide, sulphide and carbonaceous ore types; however, a
higher opt Au cut-off grade may be required to upgrade the inferred resource to the measured and indicated resource category. Cut-off
grade for Jessup is reported at 0.2 g/t Au for oxide mineralisation and 0.34 g/t Au for transition and sulphide mineralisation; and

Rye Patch Gold maintains a strict quality control program at all of its projects. Drill samples are picked up on site
by American Assay’s preparation and analytical facility located in Reno, Nevada. Gold analyses are conducted
on 1-assay ton prepped samples with gold determined using industry standard fire assay methods with an atomic
absorption finish. Gold over limits are determined using fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Silver is analyzed
using ICP-MS with silver over limits determined using aqua-regia digestion with an ICP-AES or AAS finish.
