Rio Cristal Updates Status of Its Projects

Rio Cristal Resources Corporation (TSXV:RCZ) updates on the company’s activities at its three exploration projects: Bongará, La Cumbre and Condor.

The press release is quoted as saying:

At Cristal the Company is building on 4,200 meters of drilling completed in 2008 which produced excellent results (see news release dated October 15, 2008): Drill hole CR07 – 58.7 meters of 10.0% zinc, Drill hole CR11 – 10.3 meters of 21.1% zinc, Drill hole CR13 – 14.5 meters of 14.7% zinc, Drill hole CR14 – 12.5 meters of 26.1% zinc, Drill hole CR18 – 21.7 meters of 22.0% zinc. Drill hole CR20 – 15.5 meters of 29.5% zinc. The Company has contracted Energold Drilling Corporation to undertake a 4,000 meter program at Cristal and drilling is now underway. The average depth of each hole is expected to approximately 120 meters. The 4,000 meter number is a minimum and Rio Cristal will drill more if the weather cooperates later in the year. As soon as a resource is established, the Company will begin studies to determine the best way to process the oxides.
