      Rimfire and Northgate Commence Drilling at Boulevard, Yukon
=======================================================================

PR08--14

Vancouver, BC -- September 23, 2008:  Rimfire Minerals Corporation,
TSX-V:RFM, is pleased to announce that in partnership with Northgate
Minerals Corporation, TSX:NGX, drilling has commenced at its new gold
discovery on the Boulevard Property. The Boulevard Property is located
approximately 135 kilometres south of Dawson City, Yukon. Gold bearing
mineralization, including 7.04 g/t gold over 6.0 metres, was discovered
in two of three trenches over a 300 metre trend (see Rimfire news
release PR08-12, August 20, 2008). The Diamond drilling program will
consist of 4 to 6 holes averaging 150 metres in length and is expected
to be completed by mid-October.

The current program was initiated after this summer's discovery of
gold-bearing mineralization in trenches testing anomalous
arsenic-antimony-gold soil geochemistry at the Boulevard. Chip sampling
from the first trench (TRBV08-01) yielded 7.04 g/t gold over 6.0
metres. One hundred metres southeast, trench TRBV08-02 returned 6.43
g/t gold over 2.0 metres. Gold mineralization is hosted in strongly
sericite-clay altered schists with disseminated pyrite, arsenopyrite,
stibnite and specular hematite that envelopes quartz and massive
stibnite veins. Additional soil sampling undertaken in conjunction with
trenching has now expanded the target to an area of 2.0 by 0.4
kilometres. Drilling will aim to test mineralization encountered in the
trenches at depth. Soil sampling and a reconnaissance IP geophysical
survey has commenced to help expand the target, as well as refine drill
hole locations along trend.

This program is being conducted under an exploration alliance agreement
with Northgate Minerals signed in December, 2005. The Boulevard
Property is held jointly by Rimfire and Northgate, with each company
having funded the initial $330,000 in targeting and exploration that
led to staking of the property. To date, Northgate has funded
approximately $435,000 of the required $1.5 million in exploration
expenditures to earn an additional 10% interest (for a total of 60%) in
the property.

This news release has been reviewed by Mark Baknes, M.Sc., P.Geo., VP
Exploration of Rimfire Minerals, a Qualified Person for the purpose of
National Instrument 43-101.
