On Friday, January 8th, Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez Frias decreed a number of financial reforms in a ministerial council meeting. Venezuela modified its currency exchange controls, introducing a two tier system devaluating its currency by 20% and 100% respectively, the first such action taken since March 2005, in an effort to stimulate the Venezuelan economy.

In his speech, President Chavez reported that the Bolivar will be devalued to 4.3 per US Dollar from 2.15 per US Dollar applicable to, among others, the mining sector effective immediately. A lower exchange rate of 2.60 Bolivar per US Dollar will apply for critical imports such as food and medicine, while the swap FX market will continue operating.

The effect of raising the exchange rate from 2.15 to 4.30 for Rusoro's finished product gold inventory of approximately 58,000 ounces increases its value significantly. In addition, the two tier mechanism establishes an exchange rate of 2.6 Bolivars per US Dollar to import capital goods, increasing the efficiency of capital expenditures.

In order to stimulate exports, companies such as Rusoro will be allowed to use up to 30% of their liquid proceeds from exports to cover foreign costs, up from 10% which was the previous rule under the law.

The new changes are expected to have far reaching and positive effects in terms of Rusoro's future gold sales regimes, in addition to positive implications regarding the importation of capital items and key consumables related to its on-going mining operations at Choco 10 and the VenRus government joint venture mining operation at Isidora.

The Company will provide further guidance to its shareholders regarding these positive events as they become known.

Rusoro's CEO, Andre Agapov, reports; "A large measure of some recent concerns regarding the economic viability of gold sales mechanisms and capital item imports have now been removed for us by the Government. We look forward to adopting these recently announced economic stimulus measures as a matter of routine policy into our go-forward strategy to build and operate gold mines. This proactive stance taken by the Venezuelan government should serve to further demonstrate to the investing public that Rusoro can effectively and successfully operate gold mines in Venezuela, as the country's only foreign gold producer"
