Rocky Mountain Announces Drilling to Resume at the Gibellini Project, Nevada

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–( EMWNews – April 7, 2008) – ROCKY MOUNTAIN RESOURCES CORP. (TSX VENTURE:RKY) is pleased to announce that drilling will resume at the Rich Hill area in Eureka County, Nevada. Rich Hill is an area of vanadium mineralization located 1,500 feet south of the known Gibellini resource.

Three holes were drilled in the Rich Hill area in 2007 using reverse circulation methods. These holes were drilled to test soil anomalies and discovered a stacked zone of vanadium rich shale. The shale starts at the surface, on the top of a hill, with four stacked zones of shale enriched in vanadium. The location of Rich Hill in relation to Gibellini is shown on the map included below.

In April and May, four to eight additional holes will be drilled using core drilling methods in the Rich Hill area. Drilling is expected to total 1,000 to 1,500 feet. The objective of the drilling is to collect metallurgical samples and to twin older reverse circulation drill holes. Metallurgical testing is planned to confirm that material from Rich Hill can be successfully processed for extraction of vanadium using the same methods selected for the Gibellini resource.

The soil anomaly at Rich Hill is larger in areal extent than the Gibellini deposit and will take additional work to fully delineate the zone of mineralization. Soil sampling will be expanded in 2008 to cover a larger area around Gibellini and Rich Hill with the objective of identifying potential new targets for vanadium mineralization. Limited soil sampling results from 2007 have identified anomalous vanadium and zinc as much as one mile to the south of Rich Hill.

Elsewhere, Rocky Mountain Resources elected to terminate the lease at the Lake Owen Project in Albany County, Wyoming. Fieldwork and sampling conducted in 2007 failed to meet expectations and the property is being dropped.

Rocky Mountain Resources is a precious and base metal exploration and development company focused on the development of new resources. Vanadium is a metal used to strengthen steel and has shown significant increases in demand and pricing. Information on the Company and the projects are found at www.rkyresources.com.
