Ridgemont Iron Ore Corp. (TSX VENTURE:RDG)(OTCQX:RIOOF) ("Ridgemont" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce that it has intersected significant intervals
of iron mineralization in a number of drill holes completed to date on its
wholly-owned Lac Virot Iron Project, located in the southern Labrador Trough.


"We are extremely encouraged by these early drilling results, as they appear to
confirm our original geologic interpretation of the significant iron mineral
resource potential at Lac Virot," stated Brian Penney, President and CEO of
Ridgemont. "Based on these initial results, we are currently assessing our
options with respect to accelerating the pace of our original exploration
program in order to advance the project as much as possible during this current
field season."


Highlights of the current drilling include:

Drill plan maps are posted on the Ridgemont website at:

To date, Ridgemont has completed approximately 4,200 metres of the initial 5,000
metres planned for Lac Virot this season. However, acting on the strong results
acquired to date, the Company applied for, and has been granted, an Exploration
Permit from the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Natural Resources, for
an additional 9,000 metres of drilling. To facilitate the timely execution of
this additional 9,000 metre program, a third drill rig is being mobilized to
site.


True widths of the reported intercepts above vary depending on the angle of the
individual drill holes and are estimated to be between 90% and 100% of the core
interval as reported. All samples were prepared from sawn HQ-sized half-core
sections on-site in Labrador. Split drill core samples have been sent to
independent contractor SGS Minerals Services in Lakefield, ON for analysis;
results are pending.


The reader is cautioned that visible iron mineralization does not necessarily
equate to significant concentrations of iron and there is no assurance that the
assay results of the samples from these drill holes will yield significant iron
grades.


The Lac Virot Iron Project is comprised of approximately 114 square kilometres
of map staked mineral licenses located in the southern Labrador Trough, Canada's
foremost iron ore mining region. Four major mines (Mont-Wright, Carol Lake,
Scully and Bloom Lake) are located within 20 km of the project.


Further information on the Lac Virot Project can be found in the National
Instrument (NI) 43-101 Technical Report titled "Technical Report on the Lac
Virot Iron Ore Property, Labrador West, Newfoundland & Labrador" dated March 25,
2012 and filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
