ATLANTA, Nov. 4, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A recent article from The Western News discusses a meeting between Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer, Evan Barrett, Chief Business Development Officer for the Governor's Office of Economic Development, and officials from Revett Minerals Inc. (OTCBB:RVMIF) (TSX:RVM) to discuss Troy Mine's success in the face of low metal prices, and the company's resolve to proceed with Rock Creek, a proposed silver and copper mine, containing an estimated 229 million ounces of silver and 2 billion pounds of copper, located in the Cabinet Mountains between Libby and Noxon.
The article portrays Governor Schweitzer's positive view of Revett Minerals and the Rock Creek project and quotes the Governor as saying "state and federal government has shown their support of the project by issuing all of the required permits. We're on the record having been supportive because they have a mining plan that's demonstrating that they (Revett) will be able to do it right."

Revett received a favorable Record of Decision for the development of the Rock Creek Mine from the U.S. Forest Service, and the Montana Department of Environmental Quality in 2003. Presuming a positive feasibility study and successful financing, Rock Creek could be a 10,000 ton per day underground mine with estimated annual production of 6 million ounces of silver and 52 million pounds of copper over the life of the mine.
