Tim Lindsey, Chairman, stated, "Larry's finance and business expertise in the natural resource industry will be invaluable as we continue to grow and strengthen our financial base.

John Shanahan, President and CEO also commented, saying, "We are extremely proud of what has been accomplished during 2009 and would like to thank all employees at Revett for their hard work and perseverance this year. Without their support, our many accomplishments throughout 2009 would not have been possible." Revett Minerals, through its subsidiaries, owns and operates the currently producing Troy Mine and development-stage Rock Creek Project, both located in northwestern Montana, USA. The proven reserves at the Troy Mine and significant resources at the Rock Creek project will form the basis of our plan to become a solid mid-tier base and precious metals producer. Revett plans on expanding production through exploration in and around its current properties, as well as through targeted business combinations of advanced stage projects.
