VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - July 3, 2014) - Rye Patch Gold Corp (TSX VENTURE:RPM)(OTCQX:RPMGF)(FRANKFURT:5TN) (the "Company" or "Rye Patch") announces that it has filed a technical report entitled "Preliminary Economic Assessment, RYE PATCH GOLD CORP., Lincoln Hill Property, Pershing County, Nevada, USA" dated July 2, 2014. The report, prepared by Metal Mining Consultants, Inc., was completed pursuant to National Instrument 43-101 in support of the Company's May 21, 2014 news release which details the results of the Lincoln Hill Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA").

Highlights of the report are:

• Base Case Pre-tax IRR of 76.5% and NPV (5% discount rate) of US$64.2M;
• Average annual production of 33,000 Au ounces and 753,000 Ag ounces per year with a peak annual production of 63,700 Au ounces and 1,011,000 Ag ounces;
• Life of Mine ("LOM") cash cost of US$575 per Au equivalent ("AuEq")¹ ounce, and total costs of US$759 per AuEq¹; and
• Drilling on the Independence Hill and Roosevelt targets has potential to expand the resource and enhance the project economic model.

¹AuEq. means gold and silver equivalence at a gold-silver ratio of 1:67 based on price and recovery.

The Company cautions that the PEA is preliminary in nature in that it is based on Inferred Mineral Resources which are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be characterized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
