Vancouver, BC -- March 2, 2009: Rimfire Minerals Corporation,
TSX-V:RFM, is pleased to announce the appointment of William Schur and
Mark Selby to the Rimfire Minerals Corporation Board of Directors.
William G. (Bill) Schur earned an A.B. degree from Dartmouth College in
1972, with a major in Government followed by a J.D. from Cornell
University. He was admitted to the Bar in Illinois and the United
States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in 1975 and
the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in 1978. He
is also a member of the Trial Bar of the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Illinois. Mr. Schur currently has a law
practice in the city of Chicago and has developed a network of clients
that range from Fortune 500 companies to individuals stretching from
coast to coast within Canada and the United States. Mr. Schur will
bring extensive legal experience and a wide-ranging business and legal
perspective to the Rimfire board.
Mark T. Selby holds a B.Comm (Hons.) degree and is currently Vice
President, Business Planning and Market Research for Quadra Mining Ltd.
Mr. Selby founded Selby & Co in 2006 to provide consulting advice to
mining companies and investors on the outlook for base metals and
resource equity valuation. His prior positions include: Assistant
Vice-President, Strategic Planning & Business Development (2005-2007)
and Director, Market Research (2001-2004) with Inco Limited and
Principal at Mercer Management Consulting (1994-2001). Mr. Selby's
knowledge of the metals market and business development will add depth
to the Rimfire board and be valuable in generating joint venture
partnerships.
The recent appointments follow the resignation of Gary Paulson from the
Board of Directors. Mr. Paulson has held a position on the Rimfire
board since the company's inception in 1999. Gary proved to be an
invaluable resource for the Rimfire team due to his vast knowledge of
the exploration industry and global perspective. The entire Rimfire
team wishes him success in all his future endeavours.
The Company has granted each new director 75,000 incentive stock
options at a price of $0.27 expiring March 1, 2014. The grants will
