(TSX VENTURE: RBW) (\"Rainbow\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report that it has acquired 100% ownership of 19 strategic patented claims within and contiguous to the Jewel Ridge Property in Nevada following completion of a Phase 1 drill program that has intersected favourable mineralized zones at the past producing property. Assay results are expected anytime this month. Meanwhile, preliminary assays show near-surface silver and gold mineralization in the first two holes ever drilled at Rainbow's Gold Viking property in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia with results pending from 10 more holes. Drilling has also intersected near-surface silver mineralization at the International Property which also forms part of the Company's 100% owned 13,000-hectare Big Strike Project in southeast B.C. \n\n\n \nJewel Ridge \n\n\n \nA Phase 1 reverse circulation drill program has been completed at Jewel Ridge along the prolific Battle Mountain-Eureka Trend in Nevada. All six holes showed significant mineralized intersections with continuous silicic alteration including considerable jasperoid content, hydrothermal breccia, and quartz-carbonate replacement textures. Samples were taken every 1.5 metres along the entire length of each drill hole. Multi-element ICP analysis is being completed on all 756 samples with initial results expected \n\n \n \nin the near future from ALS Chemex Labs Ltd. in Reno. In addition, numerous rock samples have been submitted to the lab from prospecting over a wide area of the property.\n\n\n \nBased on a review of extensive historical data (mostly from pre-2000) as well as Rainbow's exploration work carried out last spring and again in November, mineralization...
