Rodinia Enters into Option Agreement on the Lucky Bay Uranium Project

Vancouver, British Columbia …. Rodinia Minerals Inc. (“Rodinia”) is pleased to announce that it has been granted an option by Golden Patriot, Corp., a Nevada based company (“Golden Patriot”), to acquire up to a 40% interest in the Lucky Boy Uranium Project once Golden Patriot has earned into the Project.  The Lucky Boy Uranium Project consists of 14 BLM claims and an 80-acre State Lease contiguous to the claims, located in Gila County, Arizona.

Rodinia can exercise its back-in right in respect of the Lucky Boy Uranium Project at any time after an aggregate US$500,000 has been spent on the Project and Golden Patriot has thereby earned a 60% interest in it, and until 30 days after Rodinia receives notice that an aggregate US$1,000,000 has been spent on the Project and Golden Patriot has thereby earned its100% interest.  Golden Patriot’s interest in the Lucky Boy Uranium Project is subject to a 3% Yellow Cake Royalty.

The Lucky Boy Uranium Project is at the site of the old Lucky Boy mine.  From documentation obtained from a variety of sources, it has been reported that the Lucky Boy mine, using heap leaching and ion exchange recovery, produced about 5,000,000 pounds of uranium ore in the 1950’s until the mine became unprofitable, because of declining uranium prices, and was shut down.  In 1978, the mine was re-opened and produced uranium for about two years, until once again it fell victim to declining uranium prices. Rodinia confirms that the foregoing historical estimates are relevant but is unable to confirm the reliability of such historical estimates.

Golden Patriot intends to commence work on the project in the second quarter of 2005.

Rodinia also announces that pursuant to Exchange policies and the Company’s Stock Option Plan, an aggregate of 420,000 shares have been granted as incentive stock options to directors and key employees at an exercise price of $1.25 per share.  The options are exercisable for a period of two years, ending on March 20, 2007, and are subject to the requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange. 

Rodinia is a junior resource company that intends to respond to opportunities in uranium exploration and development world-wide, but its main focus will remain on the expansion of the Workman Creek Deposit, Gila County, Arizona and the development of the numerous areas of interest that have been recently staked by Rodinia.
