Rainy River Resources Ltd. ("Rainy River" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:RR) is
pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with a syndicate of
underwriters (the "Underwriters"), led by Scotia Capital Inc., to issue on a
bought deal basis by way of a private placement, 5,140,000 common shares of the
Company ("Common Shares") at a price of C$12.65 per Common Share for gross
proceeds of C$65 million. The Company has granted the Underwriters an option,
exercisable prior to the closing of the offering, to increase the size of the
offering by up to an additional 790,000 Common Shares for additional gross
proceeds of up to C$10 million.


The Company intends to use the majority of the net proceeds of the offering to
fund ongoing exploration activities at its Rainy River Project. In addition, the
Company will use a portion of the net proceeds to fund expenditures under its
option on the TPK Project, which is described in the Company's September 9, 2010
news release, and will use the remaining net proceeds of the offering for
general corporate purposes.


Closing of the offering is anticipated to occur on or about January 7, 2011 and
is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of
approval of the offering from the TSX Venture Exchange. The Common Shares issued
pursuant to the offering will be subject to a four-month restricted resale
period from the closing date.


About Rainy River

Rainy River is a Canadian precious metals exploration company whose key asset is
the Rainy River Gold Project. With approximately $69.0 million in its treasury
(without giving effect to the completion of the offering), 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 reverse circulation drilling within the large
gold system centred 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.
