Iron Creek Capital Corp. Announces Completion of Qualifying Transaction

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–( EMWNews – April 7, 2008) – Iron Creek Capital Corp. (“Iron Creek” or the “Corporation”) (TSX VENTURE:IRN.P) is pleased to announce that on April 4, 2008, it completed the arm’s length acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of all of the issued and outstanding securities of Compania Minera Mena Resources (Chile) Limitada (“Mena Chile”). Mena Chile was wholly owned by Tombstone Aruba A.V.V. (the “Vendor”), which is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Rusoro Mining Ltd. (“Rusoro”), a public mining and exploration company whose shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) (TSX VENTURE:RML). Mena Chile’s principle property is the Vaquillas Property, which is prospective for both precious and base metals.

The Acquisition was completed pursuant to a share purchase agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) dated March 26, 2008 under which Iron Creek acquired, through its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Iron Creek Chile (B.V.I.) Ltd., all of the issued and outstanding securities and indebtedness of Mena Chile in consideration of the issuance to the Vendor of 2,000,000 common shares (“Common Shares”) in the capital of the Corporation at a deemed price of $0.265 per Common Share and reimbursement of all advances made by Rusoro, directly or indirectly, since September 30, 2007, to Mena Chile. In addition, and pursuant to the terms of a royalty agreement entered into between Mena Chile and the Vendor, Mena Chile has granted a net smelter returns royalty to, or as directed by, the Vendor, on any metals recovered equal to 1% on the Vaquillas Property and 2% on mining and mineral interests held by the Mena Chile with respect to the Emilia & Pampa property, the Gavi & Mena 1-2 properties and the Suerte property (collectively, the “Other Properties”).

Iron Creek is a capital pool company and intends for the Acquisition to constitute the Qualifying Transaction of the Corporation (the “Qualifying Transaction”) as such term is defined in the policies of the Exchange. Upon obtaining final Exchange approval of the Qualifying Transaction, it is expected that the Corporation will be a Tier 2 Mining Issuer. The Corporation now intends to file all necessary final documents with the Exchange to obtain final approval of the Qualifying Transaction.

Having completed the Acquisition, Iron Creek will be engaged in the business of exploring for precious and base metals on the Vaquillas Property and the Other Properties and such other properties and interests as may be subsequently acquired by Iron Creek.
