Revolution inpact with Lake Shore Gold for Mexican Property Portfolio

16 December 2011: Revolution Resources Corp has signed a formal option agreement with Lake Shore Gold Corp to acquire up to 100 per cent of Lake Shore Gold's four large properties in Mexico formerly held by West Timmins Mining Inc. (Lake Shore Gold acquired West Timmins Mining in November 2009). The Company has commenced a 7,000 mtres drill program with three drill rigs at Universo and expects to report results in January of 2012. The four properties are combined and titled under "Universo" and "Montana de Oro".

Initial drilling is testing multiple targets on the Universo property, including step-out drilling from historic producers. One drill is initially testing the Navarro area, centered on the Cinco Estrellas mine that hosts a historical resource of 47,000 tons averaging 16.0 g/t Au and 900 g/t Ag. (A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources. The Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources and the historical estimate should not be relied on.) Among other targets, drilling is pursuing a historic drill hole completed by Minera Kennecott that reported 1.5 meters averaging 121.0 g/t Au within 21.3 meters averaging 11.7 g/t Au and 37 g/t Ag, southeast along trend of the Cinco Estrellas mine. Drilling is also targeting extensions to the Esquivel mine, located 1,000 meters east of Cinco Estrellas, as well as multiple other nearby areas covered by shallow overburden.
