("Resolve" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:RSV) wishes to announce that the Company's Joint Venture and Option Agreement partner, Nevada Sunrise Gold Corp. ("Nevada Sunrise") (TSX VENTURE:NEV), has recently announced that it has granted North South Petroleum Corp. ("North South") (TSX VENTURE:NAS.H) the right to earn a 50% interest in the Neptune Property should Resolve choose to waive its right to earn a further 25% interest in the Neptune Property.

- North South incurring exploration expenditures of CDN$700,000 on the Neptune Property; and

If these conditions are met, a joint venture would be formed between North South (50%), Nevada Sunrise (25%) and Resolve (25%), on substantially the same terms as are set out in the current agreement between Nevada Sunrise and Resolve.
