RIO Rio2 Limited New

Rio Alto Mining Limited ("Rio Alto" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:RIO)(OTCQX:RIOAF)(BVLAC:RIO)(DBFrankfurt:MS2) is pleased to report that
mine development activities at the La Arena Gold Oxide Mine resumed with the
evening shift on Friday, September 30 and planned productivity levels were
achieved on Saturday and throughout the weekend after resolution of the
previously announced (see press release of September 29) work stoppage. 


In 2009, the Company completed and filed an Environmental Impact Study for the
La Arena Gold Oxide Project, which was approved by government authorities in
July 2010. This process included extensive community consultations resulting in
a framework agreement with the La Arena community members. The agreement
included three principal undertakings by Rio Alto including the construction of
a new school, assistance with the selection and design of a new town site for
area residents and an education and training program to improve literacy and
provide training for technical skills necessary to work within the mining
industry. All of these undertakings have been initiated resulting in completion
of the first stage of the school during August making it ready for students,
finalization of a town site options study and the start of several training
courses. 


During discussions over the last several days, the Company agreed with the La
Arena community members to form a number of joint committees to monitor the
progress of the undertakings set out in the framework agreement and to improve
communication between area residents and the Company to help realize the
objectives of the framework agreement. For its part, the community agreed that
it members would not cause work stoppages without first entering into a dialogue
with the Company to discus any concerns.


Rio Alto is also pleased to announce that at its Annual General and Special
Meeting of Shareholders, held on September 29, 2011 in Lima, Peru, all of the
resolutions set out in the Company's notice of meeting were passed.
Additionally, the board of directors extends its appreciation for the
contributions made by Daniel Kenney who did not stand for re-election to the
board of directors. Daniel provided valuable insight and considered opinions to
the board since he was appointed as a director in June 2009. He will continue to
provide counsel in his ongoing role as the Company's Corporate Secretary.
