A correction from source is issued with respect to the release disseminated today at 13:45 ET. In the first sentence of the first paragraph, the date "February 29, 2008" has been changed to the correct date "April 29, 2008". The corrected release follows:
Nelson W. Baker, President and CEO of Rainy River Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:RR) is pleased to report that a 1500 metre drill program began April 29, 2008 to test a number of newly discovered surface showings of Au + VMS-style mineralization carrying elevated gold, silver, zinc and copper values along the east shore of Off Lake. Of particular interest, last October 2007, Company prospectors, mechanical trenching and detailed geological mapping by Dr. Lorne Ayres uncovered a high incidence of sub-angular, semi-massive sulphide float near the contact between a northeast trending felsic dike complex and a metagabbro unit. Assay values from several grab samples collected from the sub-angular float carried up to 7.66% Zn, 15.25 g/t Au, and 2.75 % Cu in select grab samples. Approximately eight holes have been planned to drill test this promising target and several others identified by prospecting during the 2007 field season.
Nelson W. Baker, P.Eng., is the Qualified Person for the project and the person responsible for the contents of this news release.
