Mr. David W. Johnston reports:
TORONTO, ONTARIO, January 18, 2013: Rainbow Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: RBW) ("Rainbow" or the "Company") is pleased to report that it is actively pursuing options aimed at unlocking the value of its large flake graphite land package in the immediate vicinity of western North America's only producing natural flake graphite mine in southeast British Columbia, operated by privately-held Eagle Graphite Corporation. This strategic balancing of Rainbow's resource portfolio will assist the Company in directing maximum resources to accelerate development of the Jewel Ridge Gold-Silver Property in Nevada, an advanced exploration project, and its Gold Viking Property in B.C.'s Slocan Valley where first-ever drilling has resulted in the discovery of significant gold and silver mineralization as reported by Rainbow January 2, 2013.
Meanwhile, the Company has issued 1,000,000 incentive stock options to consultants, exercisable for up to two years at a price of $0.15 per share. The options will vest under normal vesting terms and will be subject to any applicable regulatory hold periods.
For further information: President David W. Johnston - (403) 701-2781.
