VANCOUVER, Dec. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ – Revolution Resources Corp. (TSX: RV) (“Revolution” or “the Company”) is pleased to report that it has signed
a formal option agreement with Lake Shore Gold Corp. (“Lake Shore
Gold”) to acquire up to 100% of Lake Shore Gold’s four large properties
in Mexico formerly held by West Timmins Mining Inc. (Lake Shore Gold
acquired West Timmins Mining in November 2009). A summary of the
general terms of the agreement can be found in Revolution’s news
release dated September 15^th, 2011. The Company has commenced a 7,000m drill program with three
drill rigs at Universo and expects to report results in January of
2012.

The four properties are combined and titled under “Universo” and
“Montana de Oro” (Montana de Oro includes: La Bufa, Montana de Oro and
Lluvia de Oro).

Initial drilling is testing multiple targets on the Universo property,
including step-out drilling from historic producers. One drill is
initially testing the Navarro area, centered on the Cinco Estrellas
mine that hosts a historical resource of 47,000 tons averaging 16.0 g/t
Au and 900 g/t Ag. (A qualified person has not done sufficient work to
classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources. The
Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral
resources and the historical estimate should not be relied on.) Among
other targets, drilling is pursuing a historic drill hole completed by
Minera Kennecott that reported 1.5 meters averaging 121.0 g/t Au within 21.3 meters averaging 11.7 g/t
Au and 37 g/t Ag, southeast along trend of the Cinco Estrellas mine. Drilling is also
targeting extensions to the Esquivel mine, located 1,000 meters east of
Cinco Estrellas, as well as multiple other nearby areas covered by
shallow overburden.

Additionally, two drills are targeting the La Perdida zone, located 12
kilometers northwest of Navarro, where a widespread zone of silicified
limestones (jasperoid) envelope several high-level epithermal-style
quartz veins. Undrilled targets during this initial drilling phase
also include several sediment hosted targets. All of these targets are
typified by extensive areas (hundreds of meters to kilometers) of
anomalous veining and jasperoid mineralization. Gold values range from
0.1 to 7.76 g/t, as well as significant local silver values.

Universo is a 350,000 hectare property centered at the heart of a 300
kilometer long trend of significant precious and base metal mines and
deposits. The property is located to the south of the Camino Rojo
gold-silver discovery (Canplats Resources Corporation, recently
purchased by Goldcorp Inc.) and Goldcorp’s Penasquito
gold-silver-lead-zinc mine. The Charcas Mine, Grupo Mexico’s largest
zinc mine, is located twenty kilometers to the southeast of Universo
with New Gold Inc.’s Cerro San Pedro gold-silver mine located 100km
further south. Despite the Universo property’s strategic location,
only limited modern exploration has been performed; the last known
drilling being 18 years ago.

Universo hosts 63 kilometers of a 300 kilometer long trend of
gold-silver occurrences with multiple styles of mineralization
including epithermal, sediment hosted/Carlin style and polymetallic
epigenetic. Gold mineralization occurs within jasperoid silicified
limestone sequences along regional scale fault structures, as well as
within low sulphidation epithermal quartz vein systems.

In addition to drilling, Revolution is currently completing a widespread
soil sampling grid covering the northern 180,000 hectares of the
Universo property, where no known exploration has been performed. IP
geophysical survey grids are being completed to refine drilling targets
over southern target areas of the Property. The Company is also
completing extensive community and local stakeholder dialogue in the
Universo area, which includes surface access agreements recently signed
with multiple ejido groups.

Revolution’s 2011 exploration program at Universo will be completed
under the supervision of Robert McLeod, P.Geo and Director of
Revolution, and Linus Keating, D.Sc, CPG, both Qualified Persons as
defined by NI 43-101. Drill cores will be cut in half using a diamond
saw, with one half placed in sealed bags, and delivered to ALS-Chemex
facilities in Zacatecas, Mexico. A sample quality control/quality
assurance program utilizing standards and blanks, as well as
third-party check labs will be implemented. Contents of this release
of a scientific or technical nature were prepared by and approved for
release by Mr. McLeod.

encountered: 104.0 m of 1.27 g/t Au, including 40.0m of 2.33 g/t, 54.0m
of 1.56 g/t Au, including 28.0m of 3.01 g/t Au, and 22.53m of 6.10 g/t
Au and 258.65 g/t Ag. The Slate Belt hosts most of the area’s past
producing gold mines, most notably the Ridgeway Mine, and the Haile
Mine currently awaiting permits to commence production.

Revolution’s newly-optioned Mexican property portfolio contains land
totaling over 400,000 hectares. The properties cover two distinct
