Rye Patch Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:RPM)(OTCQX:RPMGF) ("Rye Patch" or the
"Company") provides the following update on the Nevada District Court
proceedings arising out of the lawsuit filed by its wholly-owned subsidiary Rye
Patch Gold US Inc. ("RPMUS") against Coeur Rochester, Inc. ("CRI"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation announced by news
release dated December 6, 2011.


Court proceedings began on Thursday, December 15, 2011 on the motion of RPMUS to
dissolve the temporary restraining order entered on December 5, 2011, to
restrain RPMUS from working on the LH unpatented mining claims which RPMUS
staked in October and November. The hearing also considered RPMUS's motion for
preliminary injunctive relief against CRI to restrain CRI from working on the LH
Clams and the corresponding motion of Coeur to extend the effect of the
temporary restraining order. The temporary restraining order will expire on
December 20, 2011 unless extended by the Court. The restraining order was
obtained by CRI without affording RPMUS an opportunity to oppose its
application.


The Court hearing re-convened this morning and continued until 12:30 p.m.
without resolution. The proceedings are scheduled to continue on Tuesday,
December 20, 2011 at which time final arguments will be presented and the Court
will rule on the motions.


Rye Patch will provide a further update following continuation of the hearing on
December 20, 2011.
