Rubicon Minerals Corporation (TSX: RMX) (NYSE-AMEX: RBY) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has turned on its first grid power allocation (up to 5.3MW) from Hydro One today at the Phoenix Gold Project. The Company has completed its power line connection and infrastructure, and has obtained the requisite approvals and agreements from adjacent surface rights holders.

"Accessing grid power represents a major milestone in the further development of the Phoenix Gold Project. Hydro-electric grid power will now replace and increase our power capabilities compared to existing diesel power, giving us significant cost savings and enabling us to use environmentally friendly, cleaner power. The ability to readily access grid power underscores the advantage of the project being situated in the heart of the established Red Lake gold district" said Claude Bouchard, VP Operations.
