REDCORP VENTURES LTD. (RDV-TSX) (the "Company" or "Redcorp"). As a result of recent disruptions in global credit markets the Company wishes to advise on the status of a portion of its cash investments which total approximately $239.8 million.  Redcorp's cash management criteria is to invest in products that are ranked by the Dominion Bond Rating Service ("DBRS") as R1-High.  In July, 2007, Redcorp invested on the recommendation of its bank, HSBC Bank Canada, a total of $102.2 million in the following A Notes with five separate trusts managed under the Coventree Capital Group Inc. "Coventree"):

Coventree announced on August 13 and 14, 2007 that it was experiencing market disruption and as a result was unable to meet its repayment obligations until its liquidity providers fund such repayments. The DBRS has continued to rate the above trusts and their underlying assets as R1-High.

The A Notes held by Redcorp came due and payable on the maturity dates shown above but were not paid and remain outstanding. Redcorp is currently investigating the implications of these events, which appears to be a result of the current lack of liquidity for asset backed securities of the type held by Coventree rather than the creditworthiness of its underlying assets. The Company has been in discussions with Coventree and our trustees, and will continue to monitor the circumstances.  We will keep our shareholders, warrantholders and noteholders informed.

The balance of Redcorp's investments of approximately $137.5 million, including $36.5 million in escrow, are invested in a Royal Bank of Canada bearer discount note and various term deposits with the HSBC Bank Canada, Royal Bank of Canada, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and Toronto-Dominion Bank.  These investments provide the Company with sufficient funds to ensure there will be no disruption to its activities while this matter is settled.

A conference call will be held at 8:30 a.m. EST to discuss the events as we know them.  To join in the call, interested parties may call 1-888-458-1598, toll free in Canada and U.S.A., and enter the participant pass code 44002, followed by the "#" key.  The call will be moderated and will allow for a question and answer session.  An audio file of the conference call will be made available on the Company's website.
