Rio Cristal Updates Status of its Projects

Rio Cristal Resources Corporation (TSX VENTURE:RCZ)(BVL:RCZ) ("Rio Cristal" or
the "Company") today provided a corporate progress report.


Bongara Zinc Property

Thomas Findley, President & CEO, said, "I am pleased to report that we filed a
NI 43-101 Technical Report today. The report includes our first resource
estimate at the Cristal Project of 1.27 million tonnes of zinc oxides grading
7.5% and equaling over 211 million pounds of zinc. We have only drilled 3% of
the block of concessions that we control and we believe that we have significant
opportunities to both expand the zinc oxide resource at the Cristal and Charlita
Projects and to discover high grade zinc sulfides at our San Jose and Florida
Projects."


"During 2008 and 2011 we drilled at total of 7,722 meters at Cristal and
Charlita and in 2011 we drilled 1,417 meters at San Jose which is 12 kilometers
south of Cristal. Results at Cristal were excellent and led to our being able to
announce our first Measured and Indicated Resource. At Charlita we intersected
zinc mineralization in six of fifteen holes. At San Jose, we drilled two holes
and extensive zinc anomalies were intersected."


"We now have an aggressive multi-part plan to continue exploring our Bongara
Property which includes additional drilling at Cristal and Charlita to expand
our oxide resource, additional drilling at San Jose to discover zinc sulfides;
finalizing community agreements so that we can begin surface exploration and
drilling at our Florida project; and expanded surface exploration in new areas
of our concessions."

La Cumbre Copper Project

The Company has completed an initial drilling program of approximately 1,000
meters at its La Cumbre copper oxide project near Chala, Peru. Despite
encouraging preliminary surface indications of copper mineralization, drilling
results were low grade and the project does not meet the Company's investment
requirements. Consequently the La Cumbre option contract has been cancelled. The
Company believes it is better to use its resources to continue the exploration
of its Bongara Property and seek other more promising exploration projects in
Peru.


Other Projects

The Company is aggressively seeking other exploration projects in Peru, focused
on zinc, gold and copper. Currently new six projects are under review.
