Red Rock Energy Inc. (TSX VENTURE:RRK) announced today that it has drilled a
discovery hole (08RB2-03) indicating a new uraniferous mineralized zone located
about 600 metres northeast of the former producing Lake Cinch Mine main shaft
near Uranium City, Saskatchewan.  This zone is a new discovery that is not
included in Red Rock's estimates of historic uranium resources, nor has the zone
been intersected by any known previous surface drilling.  Dubbed the Fusion
zone, this new area of mineralization was discovered early in the first phase of
Red Rock's 2008 diamond drilling program.


Chemical assays indicate two intersections of note, with the primary
intersection being on a key structural feature of the former Lake Cinch Mine,
described as the Main Ore Fault.  Hole 08RB2 03 was drilled northerly with the
intent being  to intersect both the Main Ore Fault and any easterly trending
uraniferous splays off the Main Ore Fault; both structure directions formed ore
in the prior Lake Cinch mine.  Sample grades are highest near the Main Ore
Fault, being .079 % U308 across 14.5m (47.6 ft), including higher grade
intercepts of .123% U308 across 7 m (23.0 ft) core length and .177% U308 across
a 2.5 m (8.2 ft) core length. This intersection of the Fusion zone is
approximately 225 m below surface. In addition, a separate intersection closer
to surface representing a possible easterly trending cross fracture gave a grade
of .067% across 4.0 m (13.1 ft) of core length.  Two additional early holes have
split core and Red Rock is awaiting results from chemical assaying.  Partial
results received to date are only from hole 08RB2-03.


Red Rock intends to continue drilling activity on the Fusion zone in order to
test the zone along the strike and dip of the Main Ore Fault, as the zone is
currently open both laterally and up and down the dip of the fault.  Historic
operations in the Lake Cinch Mine typically mined ore widths of 2 to 6 feet
(0.61 to 1.8 m), utilizing a cut off grade of .07% U308, or approximately 1.4
pounds U308 per ton of rock.


Reg A. Olson, Ph.D., P. Geol., a Qualified Person under NI 43-101 and supervisor
of the 2007 and 2008 field exploration and drill programs, has reviewed and is
in agreement with the contents of this release.

The reader is further cautioned that the preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make certain judgements and estimates that affect the reported amounts of
