VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/25/12 -- Redhill Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE: RHR) ("Redhill" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an Agreement (the "Agreement") with Thamani Mines Ltd. allowing Redhill to acquire a 100% interest in a prospecting license adjoining the Nyakagwe property located in Tanzania, East Africa. This additional land adds 100 hectares to the project, bringing the total number of hectares to approximately 500.

The Nyakagwe property is strategically located on the Bulyanhulu regional trend within six kilometres (km) of Barrick Gold's 12 million-ounce Bulyanhulu gold mine. The property consists of forty-six Primary Mining licenses (PMLs) and one prospecting license (PL) that is contiguous to the Company's present land holdings. The Nyakagwe PMLs and PLs are surrounded entirely by prospecting licenses and applications for prospecting licenses owned and presently being explored by Tembo Gold Corp.

The Company is fully funded and is planning an extensive exploration program on for 2012. The program will include mapping, sampling, trenching and induced polarization (IP), with the intention of defining drill targets for the upcoming exploration season.

In order to acquire the 100% interest in the additional prospecting license, the Company has agreed to make the following cash payments, share issuances and exploration expenditures in the table below:
