Red Rock Energy Inc. (TSX VENTURE:RRK) announced today that it has recently
received assay test results which confirm an extension of the recently
discovered Fusion uranium zone. These results suggest that both the length and
breadth of the Fusion Zone continues to be significant with grades up to 0.612%
U3O8 (12.24 lbs /ton) over 5 metres of core length.


Generated as part of its continuing 2008 Diamond Drilling Campaign, Red Rock has
received additional analytical results testing the Fusion Zone up to and
including hole 08RB2-13 (with the exception of hole 08RB2-12 which results are
expected shortly). Of prime interest are the Fusion Zone intersections of the
Lake Cinch Main Ore Fault structure (MOF) in hole 08RB2-13. These grade 0.373%
U3O8 (7.46 lbs/ton) across 8.50 m core length from 311.00 m to 319.50 m,
including 0.612% (12.24 lbs/ton) U3O8 across a 5.0 m core length from 313.00 m
to 318.00 m. A second intercept has grades of 0.475% (9.5 lbs/ton) across 2.0 m
of core length from 335.0 m to 337.0 m


These intersections are from the Fusion zone that was initially discovered in
hole 08RB2-03 which assays 0.082% U3O8 across 14.50 m core length including
0.123% U3O8 across 7.00 m core length (Red Rock Press Release of April 7, 2008).
Prior drilling in hole 08RB2-07 extended the Fusion uranium zone up-dip on the
Lake Cinch MOF structure, with this hole having assayed 0.051% U3O8 across 11.50
m core length including 0.131% U3O8 across 1.5 m core length (Red Rock Press
Release May 20 2008).


The current intercepts in hole 08RB2-13 are about mid-way between the intercepts
in hole 08RB2-03 and hole 08RB2-07; as a result the Fusion uranium zone has now
been extended for at least 85 m, with the uranium zone raking steeply down dip
in the plane of the Lake Cinch MOF structure at a depth of about 270 m below
ground surface. The Lake Cinch MOF structure is known to continue up dip,
therefore there is the potential to extend the Fusion uranium zone upwards and
possibly link to one or more radioactive intercepts previously drilled by former
operators.


In reviewing the latest assay results, Sandy L. Loutitt, President of Red Rock,
commented: "The drilling being done to define and expand the Fusion uranium zone
is compatible with Red Rock's corporate vision to identify new uranium zones,
and then build uranium resources and reserves pound-by-pound until sufficient
resources have been identified to initiate a preliminary feasibility study. With
an economic significance cutoff grade of .05% (1 lbs/ton), the current drill
program continues to produce significant intersections in every hole drilled. As
historic production was centered around 2 - 6 ft (0.6m - 1.8m) zones typically
grading 0.200% U308 (4 lbs /ton), we are extremely pleased with the higher
grades - up to 0.612% (12lbs/ton) and the wider widths , 2 m -8.5 m (6.6 ft-
27.9 ft) - found thus far in the new Fusion Zone."


The result highlights for holes 08RB2-08 to 08RB2-11 and 08RB2-13 are tabulated
in Table 1. As of early July Red Rock has now completed a total of 5,707.0 m in
16 holes to test the Lake Cinch MOF structure at depth northeast of the former
Lake Cinch mine underground workings. Assay results are still pending for holes
08RB2-12, and 08RB2-14 to 08RB2-16. Red Rock has now started a program of 10 to
12 holes to test the upper portion of the Lake Cinch MOF structure up-dip from
the Fusion uranium zone. Once this drilling is completed in late July or early
August, a decision will be made as to whether added infill or step out drilling
are required in order to have sufficient drill pierce points to perform a
preliminary uranium resource estimate on the Fusion uranium zone.
