UNITED STATES 


Rainy River Resources Ltd. ("Rainy River" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce that it has closed its private placement of an aggregate of 5,930,000
common shares of Rainy River (the "Shares") at a price of $12.65 per Share for
gross proceeds of $75,014,500, as previously announced in the press release of
the Company dated December 14, 2010 (the "Offering"). The Offering included an
overallotment option of 790,000 Shares which was fully exercised. The Offering
was conducted by a syndicate of underwriters, led by Scotia Capital Inc. and
including Wellington West Capital Markets Inc., RBC Dominion Securities Inc.,
NCP Northland Capital Partners Inc., UBS Securities Canada Inc., Canaccord
Genuity Corp. and BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. (collectively, the "Underwriters"). 


In connection with the Offering, the Underwriters received a cash commission of
$3,750,725 (equal to 5% of the gross proceeds from the Offering). The Shares
issued under the Offering will be subject to a four month hold period in Canada
expiring May 8, 2011.


The net proceeds of the Offering, together with cash on hand, give Rainy River a
treasury of approximately $138 million, putting the Company in a strong
financial position to aggressively pursue its exploration programs. The Company
intends to use the majority of the net proceeds of the Offering to fund ongoing
advanced exploration activities at its Rainy River Project. In addition, the
Company will use a portion of the net proceeds to fund expenditures under its
option on the TPK Project, which is described in the Company's September 9, 2010
news release, and will use the remaining net proceeds of the Offering for
general corporate purposes. 


About Rainy River

Rainy River is a Canadian precious metals exploration company whose key asset is
the Rainy River Gold Project. With approximately $138 million in its treasury,
the Company is well positioned to focus on expanding and optimizing the known
resources at the Rainy River gold project through its advanced exploration
program (underground) as well as drilling exploration targets outside of the
known resource area. The Rainy River Gold Project property is extremely well
located in the southwestern corner of Northern Ontario near the U.S. border, is
accessible year round by a network of roads and is close to hydro-electric
infrastructure. The Rainy River district has a skilled labour force and is one
of the lowest-cost areas for mineral exploration and development in Canada. The
Company is also working to advance the early stage discoveries at its TPK Joint
Venture Property, also in Ontario, where it can earn a 51% interest in the
property from Northern Superior Resources. Ontario has low political risk and,
according to the annual Fraser Institute global survey of the mining industry,
has consistently ranked as one of the top jurisdictions embracing mineral
development.
