Rhyolite Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:RYE) ("Rhyolite" or "Company") is pleased
to report that a minimum 1,500 metre diamond drill program is now underway on
its wholly-owned Paxson gold project in east Alaska.


The initial drill holes will target the down dip and strike extension of a 2010
surface trench that assayed 8.85 grams gold per tonne over 7 metres within the
Shalosky zone (Press Release November 10, 2010). The Shalosky zone is defined by
a 1,100 metre by 50 to 500 metre greater than 100 parts per billion gold-in-soil
geochemical anomaly. Gold-arsenic-antimony mineralization identified within the
geochemical anomaly is hosted in an east-northeast trending shear zone that
contains quartz-sulphide veining, brecciation and fault gouge within
silica-altered schist.


The drill program will also test the Low showing where surface sampling in 2010
returned 13.37 grams gold per tonne over 3 metres (Press Release November 10,
2010) approximately 3 kilometres east-southeast of the Shalosky gold-in-soil
anomaly.


The Company has increased the size of its land holdings by staking an additional
21 contiguous claims bringing its land package size up to 4,601 acres.


Rhyolite has granted incentive stock options to certain of its directors,
officers, employees and consultants under its incentive stock option plan,
entitling them to purchase up to a total of 500,000 shares at a price of $0.25
per share for a period of two years.

Richard Graham, P.Geol., the President of Rhyolite and a Qualified Person, as
