Vancouver, British Columbia, November 23rd, 2010 - Rye Patch Gold Corp (TSX-V: RPM; OTC:RPMGF) (�Rye Patch� or the �Company�) announces the successful completion of the Company�s drilling campaign on its 100% controlled Jessup project. A new mineralized zone was identified at San Jacinto and drillholes penetrated gold and silver bearing breccias in the North Jessup deposit.

A total of twelve drillholes were completed on the property totalling 2,476 metres. The drill program targeted and confirmed thicker grade gold and silver grades. Elevated gold and silver grades are associated with west-northwest oriented breccias and structural zones cross cutting the volcanic rock package. Rye Patch employed angled drillholes across the mineralized breccias which returned better gold and silver grades and confirm continuity of the zones. Table 1 Summarizes the Results of the North Jessup Drilling using a 0.25 gram per tonne cutoff grade for gold.

The North Jessup drilling confirms the breccias zones have higher gold and silver grades than the surrounding volcanic host rock. The breccias appear to be oriented along west-northwest oriented structural zone possibly associated with the down dropped zones know as grabens. Graben margins are typical mineralized features within volcanic hosted gold systems.

In the San Jacinto deposit area, drilling has identified a new zone located 200 metres southwest of the main San Jacinto deposit. Drillhole JR-10-057 tested a newly identified alteration zone southwest of the deposit. Drilling intersected altered and mineralized volcanic lithologies. The drilling suggests the mineralization maybe a new parallel gold zone which could extend from the main San Jacinto deposit to the southwest. The gold zone encountered in JR-10-057 extends deeper than originally envisioned and the drillhole was terminated in significant gold and silver mineralization. Based on these new results, additional follow up is required. Table 2 summarizes the significant results of the San Jacinto Drilling using a 0.25 gram per tonne cutoff grade for gold.

Drillholes JR-10-046, JR-10-047, JR-10-049, JR-10-055 and JR-10-056 were drilled on the east side of the San Jacinto deposit and show mineralization does not extend in that direction. At Tosh Hill, JR-10-053 and JR-10-054 did not return reported gold and silver grades.

As announced on May 18, 2010, May 11, 2009, and June 2, 2009 in respect of the Lincoln Hill, Wilco, and Jessup projects, Rye Patch Gold�s resource inventory now totals 1,182,780 ounces of gold and gold equivalent in the measured and indicated category plus 2,727,100 ounces of gold and gold equivalent in the inferred category. The following table summarizes Rye Patch Gold�s precious metal inventory in Nevada, USA.

Metallurgical recoveries and net smelter returns are assumed to be 100%. Conforms to 43-101 resource definitions; (2) Cutoff grade for Wilco Measured and Indicated resource is reported at 0.2 g/t Au for oxide mineralisation and 1.45 g/t Au for sulphide mineralisation. The Inferred resource cut-off grade is reported at 0.2 g/t Au for oxide, sulphide and carbonaceous ore types; however, a higher opt Au cut-off grade may be required to upgrade the inferred resource to the measured and indicated resource category. Cut-off grade for Jessup is reported at 0.2 g/t Au for oxide mineralisation and 0.34 g/t Au for transition and sulphide mineralisation; and (3) The Inferred resource is reported at a cut-off grade of 0.34 g/t (0.01 opt) Aueq for oxide and transitional ore types; (4) Wilco, Jessup and Lincoln Hill resources includes Au equivalent ounces (Aueq.); where Aueq. = (Au ozs) + (Ag ozs X $Ag/oz)/$Au/oz, for Au/oz = $900, and Ag/oz = $18.
