RRC

Rockridge Capital Corp. (TSX VENTURE: RRC) ("Rockridge", the "Company") is pleased to announce that the spring 2010 drill program has begun at the Fatou gold project in southern Mali. The program will comprise a minimum of 5,000 metres of reverse circulation (RC) drilling in approximately 30 holes.

The objectives of the drill program are to:

--  Follow up on historical results of limited RAB and RC drilling
--  Test areas of known gold mineralization identified by artisanal miners
--  Determine continuity of mineralization along current inferred strike of
over 500 metres

The local and foreign artisanal miners working across the Fatou property have now been moved off the license by the regional authorities without incident. Mining had been taking place along a southern trend stretching approximately 500 metres in an east-northeast trend and along a parallel northern trend of similar size. The south trend overlies the contact between the Birimian metasedimentaries and felsic intrusives.

Regionally the property is situated within an extensive area of metaclastic sediments of Proterozoic Age. Locally, geology consists of felsic intrusives on the western part, metavolcanics in the southwestern corner with the metasediments dominating the central and eastern part. The metasediments include greywacke, siltstones, sericitic and chlorite schist, and graphite schist. Two major shear zones striking northeast and secondary northwest and northeast structures occur in the permit area.

The Fatou Gold Project is located in southern Mali, approximately 20 km north of the border between Mali and Cote d'Ivoire, approximately 250 km southeast of the capital city of Bamako. The Fatou exploration permit covers 250 square km and is accessible via a paved highway from Bamako to Zantiebougou and then by a 45 km laterite road to the permit area.

The Company also announced that it has granted stock options to directors, officers and consultants of the Company, to acquire 1.5 million common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.32 per share, expiring on May 25, 2015, subject to the terms and conditions of the Company's stock option plan. The grant of stock options is subject to any required regulatory and shareholder approvals.

The Qualified Person for Rockridge Capital Corp. under National Instrument 43-101 is Mr. Lorne Warner, P.Geo.
