About Rainy River

Rainy River is a Canadian precious metals exploration company whose key asset is
the Rainy River Gold Project. With approximately $75 million in its treasury the
Company is well funded to conduct a dual-focused drilling program consisting of:
1) definition diamond drilling of the main gold resources in preparation for
scoping and prefeasibility studies, and 2) selective diamond drill testing of
high-priority gold targets defined primarily by RC drilling within the large
gold system centered in Richardson Township. The Company's property is extremely
well located in the southwestern corner of Northern Ontario near the U.S.
border. It is accessed by a network of roads and is close to hydro-electric
infrastructure. The Rainy River district has a skilled labour force and is one
of the lowest-cost areas for mineral exploration and development. Ontario has
low political risk and, according to the annual Fraser Institute global survey
of the mining industry, has consistently ranked as one of the top jurisdictions
embracing mineral development.
