Red Rock Energy Inc. (TSX VENTURE:RRK) announced today that it has identified
715,700 pounds of U3O8 (Non 43-101 compliant) of un-mined historical resources
within its properties.


These additional resources were identified with information from RRK's 2010
exploration program, the continued review of archived Eldorado Nuclear Limited
(ENL) exploration data obtained from National Archives Canada and RRK's ongoing
geological compilation of historical work at the Beaverlodge Uranium District. 


The historic resources occur in eleven distinct zones (see Table I) that were
referred to by ENL as the Eagle area (02, 12, 22, 32, 41 and 42 Zones), Tam Lake
area (28 Zone), Foot area (46 Zone), George Lake-St. Louis area (11 Zone), K260
area (21 Zone) and Moran Lake area (83 Zone) as defined by Don Ward, former ENL
Senior Staff Geologist in his 1982 Mine Closure Report. Regionally the Eagle and
Tam zones occur northeast of the ABC Fault, whereas the Foot, George Lake and
K260 zones occur along the geologically favorable St. Louis Fault, and the Moran
Lake zone occurs north of the Fish Lake Fault, not far east of the St. Louis
Fault.


From the early 1950's to 1982, when ENL was actively mining and exploring in the
Beaverlodge District, eight of the eleven zones in Table 1 (i.e., 02, 12, 32,
42, 46, 11, 21 and 83) produced a total of 640,400 pounds of U3O8 from surface
mining operations with the bulk of the production coming from open pits at the
12 (Intermediate) and 32 (Lost Vein) zones in the Eagle area.


On Aug. 31, 2009 Red Rock announced an inferred resource of about 523,000 pounds
of U3O8 (43-101 compliant) at the 46 Zone, which may in whole or part include
the 267,500 pounds of U3O8 (non 43-101 compliant resources) of historic un-mined
resources that Ward reported for the 46 Zone in his 1982 report (Table 1).


To date Red Rock staff have continued to compile, review, integrate and
interpret data from both past exploration activities and archived data from
historic work carried out by prior operators such as ENL, with the goal being to
identify prospective drill targets and to define new ore resources in the
Beaverlodge Uranium District. This work by Red Rock, coupled with the historical
resources reported by Ward (1982), has allowed Red Rock to continue to build
upon new discoveries such as the 'Redox' Zone and its current resource base at
the Fusion Zone, which is near the former Cinch Lake mine, and the 46 Zone,
which is not far north of ENL's former Verna mine.


Reg A. Olson, Ph.D., P. Geol., a Qualified Person under NI 43-101 and supervisor
of Red Rock's 2007 to 2010 exploration programs, has reviewed and is in
agreement with the contents of this release. Readers are cautioned that
historical mineral estimates and resources referred to herein are non NI 43-101
compliant. Further, mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have
demonstrated economic viability.

with the mining industry, commodity prices and exchange rate changes. Industry
related risks could include, but are not limited to, operational risks in
exploration, development and production, delays or changes in plans, risks
associated to the uncertainty of reserve estimates, health and safety risks and
the uncertainty of estimates and projections of production, costs and expenses.
