per Unit to raise aggregate

sale would be unlawful.
The Company also announces that it has made a grant of stock options under its stock option plan
to its directors and officers to acquire a total of 5.2 million common shares of the Company. In
addition, the Company has granted options to acquire an aggregate of 3.9 million common shares of

Rockridge Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: ROCK) announced drill results
from its Raney Gold Property which included an intersection of 28.0 grams per tonne over a 6 meter
interval from a hole collared approximately 550 meters west of, and on trend with
Richmond's
western Ridley Lake Property boundary. Rockridge indicates that this broad alteration zone
(structural corridor) that hosts the mineralization is open for expansion; historic mapping and surface
sampling data show that the alteration zone may extend over several hundred metres, with no drilling
completed over a large extent of this corridor.
