Rio Cristal Resources Corporation (TSX VENTURE:RCZ)(BVLAC:RCZ) ("RCR" or the
"Company") announces that it has completed its previously reported, non-brokered
private placement of 3,893,000 units (the "Units") of the Company in London. The
price of each unit was C$0.16 per Unit, each Unit consisting of one common share
(a "Share") and one-half warrant (each whole such warrant, a "Warrant") for
total proceeds of C$622,880. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the
placement for general corporate purposes.


Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one additional Share (a
"Warrant Share") at an exercise price of C$0.22 per Warrant Share for a period
of two years, and is subject to acceleration. Commencing on the date that is
four months and one day after the closing of the private placement, if the
volume weighted average trading price of the Company's common shares on the TSX
Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") is at a price greater than C$0.32 for a period
of ten (10) consecutive trading days, the Company will have the right to
accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by giving written notice to the
holders of the Warrants which will then expire on the date that is not less than
thirty (30) days from the date of the notice.


The securities are subject to a hold period and may not be traded until May 21,
2011, except as permitted by Canadian securities legislation and the TSX Venture
Exchange.


The Company paid a C$43,602 finder's fee and granted 272,510 Warrants in
connection with the private placement. The Warrants are exercisable under the
same conditions as the Warrants included in the private placement Units.


No directors and officers of the Company acquired securities under the private
placement.


About Rio Cristal Resources Corporation

Rio Cristal Resources is a Canadian corporation focused on the discovery and
further development of gold, copper and zinc deposits in Peru. The Company's
most advanced exploration project is the 18,000 hectare Bongara zinc claim block
located in northern Peru. Outstanding initial drilling results confirm that the
project is within an important emerging Mississippi Valley-type zinc district.
The Company expects to begin a second drill campaign in early 2011 when permits
are received.


The Company is also completing the first phase of drilling at its Condor gold
project near Nazca, Peru. Initial results have been promising and laboratory
analysis of final drill holes is currently in process.


The Company recently acquired a highly prospective copper oxide project, La
Cumbre, near Chala in southern Peru and is currently in the process of obtaining
drilling permits. The Company believes there is evidence of potential zones of
bulk-mineable copper oxide mineralization grading in excess of 2% copper at La
Cumbre. Additionally there is potential for copper sulfide mineralization in a
belt hosting iron oxide copper-gold deposits. Extensive recent underground
workings indicate a possible resource which could be rapidly quantified with
potential for mineralization extensions.
