TSX:RMX | NYSE AMEX:RBY
TORONTO, March 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ – Rubicon Minerals Corporation (TSX: RMX) (NYSE-AMEX: RBY) (“Rubicon“) is pleased to provide an update of its exploration activities at its
100%-owned F2 Gold System, Phoenix Gold Project, located in the heart
of the prolific Red Lake gold district. Rubicon is carrying out a
12-month, $55 million program designed to optimize certain aspects of
its Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”)(1). This program contemplates a total of 68,000 metres of drilling of
which 41,000 metres remain to be drilled before the end of Q3, 2012.
This program has two objectives: infill drilling designed to confirm
and potentially extend existing gold zones and expansion drilling
designed to test for further extensions of known gold mineralization.
The majority of drilling to date has been focused on infill drilling
from ice-based drill pads and from underground. The majority of the
remaining drilling in this program will focus on extending known
mineralization and expanding the mineralized system. The latest
drilling results are tabulated in Table 1, along with a plan and
sections depicting these results in Figures 1, 2 and 3.
Drilling Highlights
Crown Zone
Drilling was carried out to further test the near-surface Crown Zone on
nominal 40-50 metre spacing on six sections over a strike length of 225
metres. This drilling has demonstrated good continuity of
mineralization along strike and down dip between sections. Highlights
include, 113.8 g/t gold over 2.9 metres (3.32 oz/ton gold over 9.5 feet),
including 323.5 g/t gold over 1.0 metre (9.44 oz/ton gold over 3.3
feet) in CZD-2012-19 (when a 270 g/t gold top cut is applied to the extreme
grade in this interval the result would be 95.3 g/t gold over 2.9
metres) and 10.6 g/t gold over 5.5 metres (0.31 oz/ton gold over 18.0 feet),
including 41.2 g/t over 1.0 metre (1.20 oz/ton gold over 3.3 feet) in hole CZD-2012-06 (see Table 1 for all results). Grades and
thicknesses reported in Table 1 are generally in line with those
previously intersected in the Crown Zone areas. Host rocks are typical
F2 basalts and subordinate felsic units.
West Limb Basalt 2 (WLB 2)
The winter drilling campaign also focused on infill drilling of the near
surface WLB2 area and expansion of this zone to the northeast. This
program was successful in discovering a shallow zone of strong
mineralization in the northeastern portion of the 9X block which is an
area that previously had been the subject of limited drilling (Figures
1, 2 and 3). Highlights include 446.4g/t gold over 2.0 metres (13.02 oz/ton gold over 6.6 feet),
including1770.0 g/t gold over 0.5 metres (51.63 oz/ton gold over 1.6
feet) (when a 270 g/t gold top cut is applied to the extreme grade in this
interval the result would be 71.3 g/t gold over 2.0 metres) situated
below multiple down-hole gold results including a broad zone of 4.1g/t
gold over 17.4 metres (0.12 oz/ton gold over 57.1 feet) including 21.4
g/t gold over 1.0 metre (0.62 oz/ton gold over 3.3 feet) in
CZD-2012-26, and 28.8 g/t gold over 5.0 metres (0.84 oz/ton gold over 16.4 feet)
including 134.97 g/t gold over 0.9 metres (3.94 oz/ton gold over 3.0
feet) in CZD-2012-15.
The thick mineralization and associated alteration discovered in hole
CZD-2012-26 has expanded the previous limits of the WLB2 zone. Further
follow-up infill drilling will be conducted in this area.
122-10 Area
Infill drilling is ongoing in the vicinity of the 122-10 zone and has
returned positive results. Highlights include 13.5 g/t gold over 13.8 metres (0.39 oz/ton gold over 45.3 feet)
including 21.2 g/t gold over 2.2 metres (0.62 oz/ton gold over 7.2
feet), and 25.5 g/t gold over 4.5 metres (0.74 oz/ton gold over 14.8
feet) in hole 305-03-162. Mineralization is hosted by strongly altered and
locally brecciated F2 basalts with multiple occurrences of visible
gold.
Southern Breakout Area
The Southern Breakout Area (‘SBA’) is so named because it lies south of
the ’9X target area’ (Figures 1, 2 and 3). Encouraging results have
been obtained at depths between 550 and 760 metres below surface. Hole
F2-2011-04A returned 42.0 g/t gold over 1.2 metres (1.23 oz/ton gold over 3.9 feet), and 26.3 g/t gold over 1.0 metre (0.77 oz/ton gold over 3.3 feet). Hole F2-2011-04B in the same area returned 27.6 g/t gold over 0.6 metres (0.81 oz/ton gold over 2.0 feet). Also south of the 9X target area and at greater depth, the same hole
returned 25.6 g/t gold over 0.5 metres (0.75 oz/ton gold over 1.6 feet) at 1511
metres below surface hosted by mineralized F2 basalts and porphyritic felsics.
To date, 1511 metres is the deepest intercept in the F2 system. The
presence of prospective host rocks at this depth is important since
this confirms a significant new target area that will receive
additional follow-up drilling (Figure 3).
Sub 1,200 metre Area
Drilling in this area is designed to infill and potentially extend
previously intersected gold mineralization. A conservative approach was
used by AMC Mining Consultants (Canada) Inc. in the PEA which elected,
in the potential mine plan, to apply the average diluted resource grade
to the bottom five mining horizons (bottom 305 metres of the resource).
Rubicon is carrying out selective drilling in this area designed to
test whether the existing area with elevated resource grade holds up
with more drilling. Since the PEA, four new intercepts have been
returned, all of which are gold bearing and developed within typical
altered host basaltic sequences. New holes in this news release both
contain visible gold, and continue to display impressive gold grade
below the 1,200 metre depth as seen in F2-2011-04B. Drilling of this
sub 1,200 metre level target area is ongoing.
“Our stated objectives in this program of drilling were to carry out
infill drilling and to explore for extensions to the F2 Gold System.
Our infill drilling near surface has been successful to date and has
also identified extensions to known zones. The remaining drilling in
the current budget will focus on our target of expanding the known
limits of the F2 Gold System. Initial results from expansion drilling
are encouraging in several new target areas,” stated David Adamson,
President and CEO.

Assaying and Qualified Person
Assays were conducted on sawn NQ-sized half core sections. Unless
stated, reported intercept widths are core lengths. Further drilling is
required in such cases before the true widths of reported intercepts
can be determined. The saw blade is routinely cleaned between samples
when visible gold is noted during logging and sampling of the drill core. Assays were conducted by SGS Minerals
Services using standard fire assay on a 50 gram (1 assay ton) sample
with a gravimetric finish procedure. Assays are uncut as is standard
practice in Red Lake. Standards, blanks and check assays were included
at regular intervals in each sample batch. Check assays on 5% of
samples are carried out at a third party independent laboratory. Gold
standards were prepared by CDN Resource Laboratories Ltd. Phoenix
Project exploration, drill work programs and all data forming the basis
of this news release were supervised and verified by Richard Greenwood,
B.Sc. (Hons.), GIT and Phoenix Project Geology Manager for Rubicon and
a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. Phoenix Project site
operations are conducted under the supervision of Eric Hinton, P. Eng.,
Project Manager for Rubicon and a Qualified Person as defined by NI
43-101.
PEA
The PEA is preliminary in nature as it includes inferred mineral
resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the
economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be
categorized as mineral reserves and there is no certainty that the PEA
will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The
estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by
environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political,
marketing, or other relevant issues. The quantity and grade of reported
inferred resources are uncertain in nature and there has been
insufficient exploration to define these inferred resources as an
indicated or measured mineral resource and it is uncertain if further
exploration will result in upgrading them to an indicated or measured
mineral resource category.
Forward Looking Statements
This news release contains statements that constitute “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the United States
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and “forward looking information” within the
meaning of applicable Canadian provincial securities legislation
(collectively, “forward-looking statements”). Forward-looking statements often, but not always, are identified by
the use of words such as “seek”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “plan”,
“estimate”, “expect”, “targeting” and “intend” and statements that an
event or result “may”, “will”, “would”, “should”, “could”, or “might”
occur or be achieved and other similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of
management as of the date such statements are made and represent
management’s best judgment based on facts and assumptions that
management considers reasonable. The material assumptions upon which
such forward-looking statements are based include, among others: that
the demand for gold and base metal deposits will develop as
anticipated; that the price of gold will remain at levels that will
render the Phoenix Gold Project economic; that operating and capital
plans will not be disrupted by issues such as mechanical failure,
unavailability of parts and supplies, labour disturbances, interruption
in transportation or utilities, or adverse weather conditions; that Rubicon will meet its estimated
timeline for the development of the Phoenix Gold Project; that Rubicon
will continue to have the ability to attract and retain skilled staff;
that the mineral resource estimate as disclosed in the PEA will be
realized; and that there are no material unanticipated variations in
the cost of energy or supplies, or in the pre-production capital and
operating cost estimate as disclosed in the PEA. Rubicon makes no
representation that reasonable business people in possession of the
same information would reach the same conclusions.
Forward-looking statements in this news release include, but are not
limited to statements regarding projections of future optimization of
the PEA and the timing and nature of future exploration programs which
are dependent on projections which may change as drilling continues, or
if unexpected ground conditions are encountered. In addition, areas of exploration potential are
identified which will require substantial drilling to determine whether
or not they contain similar mineralization to areas which have been
explored in more detail. Significant additional drilling is required at
F2 to fully understand system size and the economic implications of
same.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results,
performance or achievements of Rubicon to be materially different from
any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by
the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others: future prices of gold and other metals;

Although management of Rubicon has attempted to identify important
factors (which it believes are reasonable) that could cause actual
actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in

actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or
intended. Forward-looking statements contained herein are made as of
the date of this news release and Rubicon disclaims any obligation to
update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or results or otherwise, except as required
by applicable securities laws. There can be no assurance that
forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results
and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in
such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance
on forward-looking statements.
