RT Minerals Corp. Acquires Guyana Property Interest and Appoints New Vice President and Director

RT Minerals Corp. ("RTM" / the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:RTM) announces that it
has entered into an agreement for RTM to conduct exploration and mining
operations on three mining permits (the "Claims") in north eastern Guyana, South
America. The Claims are located in the Potaro-Siparuni region of Guyana. Access
to the Claims from the capital city Georgetown is approximately 300 kilometers
by road to the Claim area, with a small airfield situated 3 kilometers north
east of the Claims. The town of Mahdia is 8 kilometers to the north east with
infrastructure for services such as fuel, equipment, and lodging.


The three Claims total 3,565 acres and are permitted for exploration and medium
scale mining by the Guyana Geology Mines Commission ("GGMC"). The most northerly
Claim is 1165 acres and RTM has exclusive rights to explore and develop this
claim. The remaining two Claims are 1200 acres each and are presently
non-exclusive to RTM save for areas identified therein, and designated by RTM
from time to time, for mining mineral resources defined by RTM.


The Claims are situated within the Palaeoprotozoic greenstones of the Guiana
Shield about 40km south west of the Omai gold mine (approx. 3.7 million ozs Au).
The artisanal mining of gold bearing saprolite has been ongoing in the immediate
Mahdia area since the 1880s. There is no recorded modern exploration work
completed or filed with the GGMC on the RTM Claims. Site visits to the Claims by
RTM representatives and Qualified Persons observed gold bearing material at
surface and weathered quartz carbonate vein material within near surface local
saprolites on one of the Claims.


Regional exploration, adjacent to the Claims on the Protozoic-Mahdia alluvials
(saprolites), has been reported to grade from 0.07 to 8.5 grams of gold per
cubic meter. This regional work consists of grab sampling to local artisanal
mining on specific areas (GGMC source, 2014). Several small scale alluvial
operations are ongoing on properties contiguous to the RTM Claims. In addition,
NI 43-101 compliant Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources are reported on an
adjacent property owned by Goldsource Mines Inc. 


RTM will carry out a Phase One surface alluvial (sapprolite) exploration program
that will consist of mapping, test pits, panning gravels and grab samples from
each pit for assaying at an accredited laboratory in Georgetown, Guyana. This
program is estimated to cost $100,000 USD and will be completed in approximately
60 days. 


Contingent on the positive results from Phase One, RTM will carry out a Phase
Two program consisting of bulk sampling, by excavator, of saprolite material and
the processing of same through a wash plant. The budget for the Phase II
program, including the purchase and commissioning of the Wash Plant, is
estimated at $300,000 USD.


RTM has the 100% right to explore and conduct mining operations on the Claims
over the next five years by initially carrying out the above Phase One and Phase
Two programs within three months of signing the agreement and as further
outlined hereinafter. If RTM is delayed in completing the above programs within
the three month prescribed period, then RTM has the right and option to extend
the three month period to up to six months by paying the vendor $100,000 USD
cash per month over the last three months of the initial six month period. The
Vendor is also entitled to 15% of any gold or other minerals produced from the
Claims, paid in Guyana dollars, over the next five years and it is the
responsibility of the Vendor to keep the Claims in good standing pursuant to the
guidelines of the GGMC for the term of the agreement. Finally, to maintain RTM's
rights relating to the Claims, and on a preliminary cost estimate basis, RTM may
incur up to approximately $4,000,000 USD per year in all costs related to the
Claims including overheads, payments, exploration, development and mining
operations per annum, or such costs amended from time to time by RTM's Qualified
Person, to advance the development of the Claims or to obtain or maintain
commercial production on the Claims.


In addition, RT Minerals Corp. is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Roy
Mlakar as Vice President and Director of the Company. Mr. Mlakar has over 38
years of executive, marketing and corporate governance experience primarily in
professional sports. He is the former President - Chief Executive Officer of the
Ottawa Senators (1996 to 2009), former Chief Operating Officer of the Pittsburgh
Penguins (1993 to 1996), past Executive and President of the Los Angeles Kings
(1986 to 1993) and the President, General Manager and principal administrator of
several American Hockey League franchises between 1973 and 1986. Mr. Mlakar was
also the merchandising director of the Cleveland Indians (MLB) and the Cleveland
Cavaliers (NBA) from 1970 to 1974.
