Salmon River Resources Ltd. ("Salmon River" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SAL) is pleased to announce that it will undertake a non-brokered private placement of up to 3,437,500 common shares at CDN$0.32 per common share for gross proceeds of up to CDN$1,100,000 (the "Private Placement"). The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used entirely for the payment of the initial Pre-Completion Payment (described below). In connection with the Private Placement, Salmon River may pay finders' fees to certain finders, including cash commissions equal to up to 8% of the proceeds from the sale of the common shares and options to acquire that number of common shares equal to up to 8% of the number of common shares sold to subscribers introduced to the Company by such finders. The common shares issued in the Private Placement will be subject to a four-month hold period in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange and applicable securities legislation. Insiders in the Company have indicated their intention to acquire an aggregate of 25% of the Private Placement, consistent with the maximum allowable under TSX Venture Exchange policy. The Private Placement remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. Background On June 16, 2010, Salmon River, Treppo Grande Iron Pty Ltd. ("Treppo Grande") and Melville Raymond Dalla-Costa (the "Seller") entered into an option agreement (the "Option Agreement") pursuant to which the Company was granted an option to acquire a 100% interest in all of the issued and outstanding share capital of Treppo Grande (the "Option"). All issued and outstanding shares of Treppo Grande are held by the Seller. Treppo Grande is the holder of five tenements in the Yilgarn Craton of southwestern Australia, including the highly prospective Mt. Manning iron ore prospects (the "Tenements") (see Exploration Updates of 26 August 2010, 2 August 2011, 1 September 2011 and 11 October 2011). The Option Agreement provided that in order to exercise the Option the Company was required to pay the Seller a minimum of A$100,000,000 for the Treppo Grande shares. Under the terms of the Option Agreement, the purchase price was subject adjustment based upon the identification of iron ore resource on the Tenements. The Company was required to exercise the Option Agreement by no later than December 16, 2011 (See the full text of the Option Agreement filed on SEDAR on December 16, 2011). On November 4, 2011, Salmon River announced that it entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (the "MOU") with General Steel Holdings Inc. ("GSH"), for itself and on behalf of certain subsidiaries and affiliates ("GSH Group") regarding rights to (i) purchase part of any future iron ore production from properties currently under the Option (ii) acquire 60 million common shares at C$.50 per share for an aggregate investment of C$30million and (iii) provide assistance to Salmon River in raising an additional C$80 million through an offering of Convertible Debentures by acquiring a minimum of C$30 million of the Convertible Debentures. In addition, GSH further indicated that it is willing to fund future capital expenditures and other strategic Initiatives of the Treppo Grande iron ore project (the "Treppo Grande Project") to a maximum amount of a further C$200 million. The MOU also provides that, in consideration of the GSH Group funding such future capital requirements as well as providing project management and co-ordination services to the Company, they would receive an amount of up to 51% profit interests in the Treppo Grande Project, on terms to be mutually agreed in the final definitive agreements. Readers should refer to the full text of the press release of the Company dated November 4, 2011 for more information on the MOU. On November 4, 2011, Salmon River also announced a part & parcel private placement for up to $1,500,000 (up to 5,000,000 common shares at $0.30 per share) and subsequently increased the offering to $2,100,000 (up to 7,000,000 common shares at $0.30 per share) (the "Part & Parcel Private Placement"). Salmon River closed the Part & Parcel Private Placement on December 14, 2011, issuing a total of 4,800,006 common shares for gross proceeds of $1,440,000. The Company considers that such funding is sufficient to cover its costs involved in closing of the transaction with GSH Group. On December 9, 2011, the Company exercised the Option and concurrently entered into an amendment to the Option Agreement (the "Option Amendment") with the Seller which provided, among other things, an extension to the time for the closing of the purchase of the shares of Treppo Grande to April 30, 2012. Pursuant to the Option Amendment, the Company is required pay to the Seller A$1,000,000 each month after the execution of the amendment until the Completion Date (the "Pre-Completion Payments"). The first Pre-Completion Payment is due on December 30, 2011. On the Completion Date, the Company will pay to the Seller the Purchase Price (which is A$100,000,000 and is not subject to any adjustment) less all amounts paid as Pre-Completion Payments. If the Company does not complete the payment of all of the Purchase Price by April 30, 2012, the Pre-Completion Payments will be retained by the Seller. In addition, pursuant to the Option Amendment, Salmon River will grant to the Seller a royalty of A$0.50 per tonne of iron ore produced from the Tenement area from the commencement of first commercial mining on the Tenements. Further details of the Option Amendment are available in a press release dated December 15, 2011. The full text of the Option Amendment is also available on SEDAR (filed on December 16, 2011). Salmon River is currently negotiating the terms of a binding investment framework agreement with GSH (the "Framework Agreement"). The Framework Agreement will set out the material terms and conditions of certain definitive agreements to be entered into pursuant to the MOU and is intended by the parties to be a legally binding agreement. The Company expects that the Framework Agreement will be entered into in January 2012. The Framework Agreement will be subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and may be subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company. Mount Manning and Mount Manning North Properties The Mount Manning and Mount Manning North properties comprise five tenements in the Yilgarn Province of South Western Australia approximately 210 km northwest of Kalgoorlie. In November, 2010, the Company filed on SEDAR a technical report on four of the tenements, the Barlee Project (prospective for iron ore), the Mount Manning Project (consisting of one tenement and one tenement application which are prospective for iron ore), and the Riverina Property (prospective for nickel) dated August 10, 2010 and entitled "Geological Evaluation, Mount Manning And Barlee Iron Prospects And Riverina Nickel Prospect Southern Cross And Eastern Goldfields Provinces Western Australia". The Company has provided a number of Exploration Updates on 26 August 2010, 2 August 2011, 1 September 2011 and 11 October 2011 outlining developments in its exploration programmes. On December 20, 2011 the Company announced a resource estimate on the Mount Manning Property (See the Company's news release dated December 20, 2011). Use of Proceeds of Private Placement The use of proceeds for the Private Placement and payment of the Pre-Completion Payments is subject to shareholder approval, which the Company intends to seek through the written consent of shareholders holding a majority of the common shares of the Company. As noted, the net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used entirely for the payment of the initial Pre-Completion Payment. The Company expects to make further arrangements for payment of the remaining Pre-Completion Payments and will make further announcements in this regard once such arrangements have been finalized.

Such factors include the risk that the MOU may be terminated, that the transactions contemplated in the MOU may not result in a binding agreement and any agreements may have terms and conditions different from those contemplated in the MOU, that the Investment Framework Agreement may not be concluded with GSH, that any agreement may not be completed, that GS Group may not invest a portion, or any of the amount contemplated, that the Company may not complete the intended financings, including the Private Placement, and that the Company may not exercise its rights under the Treppo Grande Option. There can be no assurance that forward-looking information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements.
