Recent Drill Results from Railroad Gold-Silver project have expanded earlier resource estimates and support previous estimates of measured resource open pit grades indicate 58 meters (175 feet) of 2 grams per ton (0.06 opt) gold

A recent drilling program on the POD open pit gold-silver oxide and the adjoining East Jasperoid resource was recently completed to obtain samples for metallurgical analysis of the deposit and to carry out the necessary extension drilling in areas where the projection of the deposits were not adequately drilled.

Drilling results from Railroad have expanded the earlier resource evaluation for open pit mining. POD-05-01 was drilled primarily for metallurgical testing as the continuation of the deposit below a trench that was excavated and sampled for column leach testing. The bulk sample from the trench represents the oxidized top of the deposit covered by 20 feet of soil and gravel. The average grade of the trench sample is 2.43 grams gold or 0.071 ounces gold per ton and represents the approximate grade of the mine diluted bulk deposit as determined from the resource pit model. The drill hole contains 58 meters (175 feet) of 2 grams gold per ton (0.060 ounces gold per ton) at a depth from 30 feet to 205 feet.

Five drill holes were designed to expand the POD resource southeast into an area where the shallow open pit will ramp into the deeper higher grade deposit that trends toward the northwest as reported in a previous press release dated, December 10, 2005.

Drill holes POD-05-02, 3, 5, 6 and 7 tested for oxide mineralization extending to the surface along the south side of the deposit and in the high wall of the planned open pit. Drill holes 05, 06 and 07 represent 300 feet offsets to current drilling. The results of the drilling have added new resource in areas previously mapped as overburden. Drill hole POD-05-02 returned 65 meters (195 feet) of 3.5 grams/ton (0.103 opt) that included 31 meters of 5.8 grams gold. Drill holes 3, 5, 6 and 7 have resulted in the expansion of the proposed open pit margin returning gold grades of less than 1 gram per ton as follows: hole 03 includes 13 meters of 0.38 grams per ton (gpt), hole 05 includes 30 meters of 0.41 gpt, hole 06 include 28 meters of 0.48 grams per ton and hole 07 includes 30 meters of 0.58 grams per ton gold.

Routine check sampling for holes POD-05-01, POD-05-02, and POD-05-07 was completed as part of the quality control of the company lab. The results from American Assay Labs in Sparks Nevada show close comparison to the in-house lab results as follows:

Andererseits kann man daran, dass auch solche Ergebnisse veröffentlicht werden erkennen, dass man mit offenen Karten um die Anleger buhlt, und keine total überhöhten Erwartungen fördern will, die dann nur schwer einzlösen sind.

A Nevada Gold Exploration & Development Company



RSM is a gold/silver development and exploration company based in Reno, Nevada with offices in Vancouver, Canada. The company has 100% interest in five (5) advanced and exploration-stage projects in four districts in Nevada. They include Goldwedge (Round Mountain/Manhattan), Railroad-Piñon (Carlin Trend), Fondaway Canyon and Como (Comstock lode-type deposit). Our mission is to discover and develop multi-million ounce deposits in Nevada. The company's growth plan includes exploration for precious metals and subsequent property development, with initial test mining at the Goldwedge deposit commenced in December 2005.

RSM is currently advancing the fully permitted Goldwedge property through final feasibility and has commenced a production test program in January 2006.

The Railroad-Piñon projects will undergo drilling and trenching programs to establish the optimal tonnage and grade and metallurgical data for a potential mineable resource. this effort includes commencement of the application process for a mining permit with State and Federal authorities slated for completion in mid to late 2006.

The Company’s Nevada based strategy is to acquire and develop previously under explored gold-silver district plays which have sufficient work completed to indicate near term discovery and development of economic gold-silver deposits. The Manhattan, Carlin Trend, Fondaway Canyon and Como district programs represent the first of several additional opportunities that RSM is currently exploring.

Royal Standard Minerals Inc. is listed on the TSX Venture exchange under the symbol RSM. It is also listed on the OTC Bulletin Board in the U.S. as RYSMF.

Goldwedge Production 2006

With the completion of fully bonded mining permit for the Goldwedge Deposit the company completed a full production decline to the known ore-zones in 2004. Final construction of the company's gravity production plant is currently underway. RSM has also completed the construction of their silt pond, fresh water ponds and heap leaching pads. Output from the test mining program is forecast to be aproximately 20,000 ounces of gold at a cash cost of U.S. $125/oz, with expected growth into the 60,000 ounce production range on completion of test mining. Currently ore-grade material is being stockpiled.

Company Outlook

The development of gold/silver deposits has been a strategic direction for the Company over the past five years. RSM has positioned itself for what it believes are significant opportunities in the near term to develop high-grade underground and economic open pit gold-silver deposits. Over the past several years the company has capitalized upon the availability of high quality gold/silver deposits that can be developed economically. This effort should result in a shorter period for capital recovery and profitability.

The high grade Goldwedge project represents the first development project. The decline construction phase of the program commenced in June, 2004. Objectives for 2006/7 are to complete final feasibility and commence full production capacity. Currently the decline has been extended to beyond 700 feet. This program has intersected at least six mineralized zones. Current development includes test mining and extending the production decline to open additional crosscuts into the structural zones. Surface efforts have resulted in the construction of a silt pond and fresh water ponds plus the completion of the gold recovery plant, the crushing plant and the construction of the gold recovery plant containment building.

At the Railroad-Pinon projects, RSM will continue with our drilling and trenching program to establish additional metallurgical data to complete a feasibility study. This effort will include completing the application process for a mining permit with State and Federal authorities for both projects.

The Fondaway gold property work program will occur concurrently with the other projects, commencing initially with an underground drilling and metallurgical sampling program.
