======================================================================= News Release - December 11, 2013 Rye Patch Receives Positive Metallurgical Results From Lincoln Hill ======================================================================= Vancouver, British Columbia, December 11, 2013 - Rye Patch Gold Corp (TSX.V: RPM; OTCQX:�RPMGF; FWB: 5TN) (the �Company� or �Rye Patch�) is pleased to report the results of recent bottle-roll metallurgical test work from the 100% controlled Lincoln Hill project.�Kappes, Cassidy & Associates (KCA) of Reno, Nevada completed the bottle roll metallurgical testing.

Twelve composites were utilized and are reported below. HIGHLIGHTS: A total of nine oxide composites yielded an average recovery of 83% for gold and 84% for silver, with values ranging between 70% to 95% for gold, and 51% to 95% for silver;
Three sulfide composites returned an average of 80% recovery for gold and 61% recovery for silver; and
The twelve combined oxide and sulfide composites have an average recovery of 82% for gold and 79% for silver;�
KCA performed metallurgical tests on 12 separate composites that were composited by rock type, silicification, oxidation state and gold grade.
A total of twelve composites were identified incorporating attributes of rock type, alteration, and oxidation state within three gold grade ranges for the Lincoln Hill deposit.�The composites for bottle-roll metallurgical testing were constructed from drillhole intervals with similar grades from multiple drillhole intercepts across the deposit.

William Howald, the Company�s President and CEO commented, �The results of the Lincoln Hill bottle-roll tests are very encouraging.�The gold and especially the silver recoveries show the unique value opportunity in the district.�The gold and silver recoveries reported are similar in character to the nearby operation at Rochester, and the advancing Spring Valley deposit.� The results from 10 mesh (1.7 mm) on oxide material averaged recoveries of 76% recovery for gold and 79% for silver while 150 mesh on oxide material averaged recoveries of 86% for gold and 87% for silver, and 200 mesh recoveries on oxide material averaged recoveries of 85% for gold and 87% for silver.�The 10% difference between 10 mesh and 150 mesh indicates that recoveries are susceptible to particle size thus Au and Ag recoveries could be enhanced by particle size.
