Rio Silver and Norsemont II Agree to Terminate LOI

(February 22, 2019: Toronto, Canada) Rio Silver Inc. (TSX.V: RYO) (“Rio Silver” or the “Company”)

announces that the Company and Norsemont II Resources Inc. (“Norsemont”) have mutually agreed to

terminate their efforts to combine the assets of the companies as described in the earlier news release of

the Company dated October 24, 2018. Following Rio Silver’s due diligence review, Rio Silver found a

number of irregularities in the title documentation and other inconsistencies with respect to Norsemont’s

Cochavara properties in Peru. Despite the parties’ efforts to correct them, as the timeframe for resolution

is unknown, the parties have agreed to release each other from the underlying proposal at this time.

In light of the circumstances, both parties determined that it would be in the respective parties’ best

interests to proceed on independent courses of business. Norsemont has acknowledged the efficient due

diligence efforts of the Rio Silver team and will be reimbursing the Company for direct expenses incurred

on behalf of Norsemont at its Cochavara properties. The companies will remain in contact over future

opportunities.

Rio Silver remains excited by the opportunity presented at its wholly owned Ninobamba precious metal

property in central Peru. The Company will be focusing its efforts on arranging financing to move

forward with a significant exploration effort at this project in the year ahead.

Jeffrey Reeder, P.Geo., and a qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101, has prepared,

supervised the preparation, or approved the scientific and technical disclosure contained in this news

release.
