The Board of Directors of Rainy River Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:RR) (the
"Company") announced today that it has filed with the TSX Venture Exchange a
notice of intention to make a normal course issuer bid (the "Bid") for certain
of its Common shares. Pursuant to the Bid, the Company intends to purchase,
through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange, up to 2,000,000 of its
outstanding Common shares. The Company anticipates that the Bid will commence by
August 25, 2008 and will terminate by August 25, 2009. The Company has
57,633,190 Common shares outstanding. The shares that may be purchased under the
Bid represent approximately 3.47% of the Company's outstanding Common shares.
The actual number of shares that may be purchased and the timing of any such
purchases will be determined by the Company. Purchases pursuant to the Bid will
be conducted through Canaccord Capital Corporation, and the price that the
Company will pay for the shares will be the market price at the time of the
purchase. All shares purchased under the Bid will be cancelled.


Said Rainy River President Nelson Baker, "We believe that recent market prices
of our Common shares do not properly reflect the underlying value of the
Company. With our positive drilling results to date and a treasury of $34.1
million which we estimate will be more than enough to fund operations for the
next two years, we believe that the issuer bid is in the best interest of our
shareholders. It will provide some liquidity for those shareholders who wish to
dispose of their shares and enhance the potential future value of the shares
which remain outstanding."


The proposed Bid remains subject to the prior acceptance of the TSX Venture
Exchange. Following acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange, shareholders may
obtain a copy of the completed Bid notice, without charge, by contacting the
Company.


On behalf of the Board of Directors of Rainy River Resources Ltd.

Nelson W. Baker, President
