About Rio Cristal Resources Corporation

Rio Cristal is a Canadian corporation focused on the discovery and further
development of gold, copper and zinc deposits in Peru. Rio Cristal's most
advanced exploration project is the 18,000 hectare Bongara zinc claim block
located in northern Peru. Initial drilling results confirm that the project is
within an important emerging Mississippi Valley-type zinc district. Rio Cristal
expects to begin a second, 6,000 meter drill campaign in early 2011 when
seasonal rains end.


The Company is completing drilling and analysis at its 2,500 hectare Condor gold
project near Nazca, Peru. The principal economic targets at Condor are
gold-mineralized, potentially bulk-mineable zones hosted in sandstone and
volcaniclastic sequences of Cretaceous to Lower Tertiary age.


Rio Cristal recently acquired an option on the La Cumbre copper project which
includes 4,500 hectares near Nazca, Peru. Initial surface exploration and
permitting are underway. Rio Cristal expects to drill 5,000 meters in 2011.
