VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - May 25, 2011) -

THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISSEMINATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES.

Reservoir Capital Corp., ("Reservoir" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:REO)(FRANKFURT:ROC)(BERLIN:ROC) is pleased to announce that Reservoir Minerals Inc., ("Minerals") has completed a previously announced non-brokered private placement financing (the "Private Placement") of 14,776,150 non-transferable subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") of Minerals at a price of $0.65 per Subscription Receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $9.6 million.

Each Subscription Receipt purchased under the Private Placement will entitle the holder to receive one unit (each, a "Unit") of Minerals, upon the satisfaction of certain release conditions ("Release Conditions"). Each Unit will consist of one common share (a "CommonShare") of Minerals and one non-transferable Common Share purchase warrant (the "Warrant"), with one whole Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional Common Share for a period of two years from the date of conversion of the Subscription Receipts at an exercise price of $0.90 in the first year and $1.00 in the second year subject to accelerated expiry in certain circumstances.

The subscription proceeds from the Private Placement will be held in escrow pending satisfaction of the Release Conditions, including obtaining regulatory approval and satisfying certain conditions to the completion of the previously announced proposed spin-out by Reservoir of certain Serbian mineral exploration permits ("Serbian Mineral Projects") to Minerals by means of a plan of arrangement pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "Spin-out Transaction").

"This is an important step for the Company, ensuring that Reservoir Minerals, subject to certain escrow release conditions and pursuant to the proposed Spin-out Transaction, will be funded to advance the Serbian Mineral Projects and build up an exploration portfolio internationally." commented Miles Thompson, Chairman of the Company. "It also takes Reservoir Capital Corp. a step closer to becoming a pure-play renewable energy company, which we believe to be essential as the Company works towards project finance and development of the Brodarevo hydroelectric projects."

In connection with the Private Placement, Minerals issued 429,882 non-transferable compensation option receipts ("Compensation Option Receipts") of Minerals to finders, equal to 4% of the aggregate number of Subscription Receipts issued to subscribers to the Private Placement introduced by such finders. Upon the conversion of the Subscription Receipts and the provision of escrowed proceeds to Minerals pursuant to a subscription receipt agreement (the "Subscription Receipt Agreement") between Minerals and Computershare Trust Company of Canada as escrow agent ("Escrow Agent"), each Compensation Option Receipt shall automatically, for no additional consideration, be exchanged for a Unit. If the Subscription Receipts do not convert, the Compensation Option Receipts will immediately become null and void and no Units will be issued.

The Subscription Receipts are issued pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement. The gross proceeds from the sale of Subscription Receipts have been deposited with the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement. The Subscription Receipt Agreement provides, among other things, that upon the satisfaction of the Release Conditions, the gross proceeds and any interest thereon will be released from escrow and delivered to Minerals. In the event that the Release Conditions are not satisfied within 150 days of the closing of the Private Placement, the gross proceeds shall be returned to the subscribers to the Private Placement.

Background to Proposed Spin-out Transaction

The Company entered into a letter of intent dated March 24, 2011 with Minerals regarding the proposed re-organization of its business components into two separately listed public corporations by the spin-out of certain Serbian mineral exploration permits to Minerals, by means of the Spin-out Transaction. The Spin-out Transaction is further described in the Company's press release dated March 25, 2011. The objective of the Spin-out Transaction is to maximize shareholder value by allowing the market to independently value the Company's renewable energy projects and mineral exploration business. In addition to allowing the Company to continue to focus efforts on its renewable energy projects, the Company is confident that having a dedicated management team and funding for the mineral exploration business will accelerate development of existing mineral projects and give scope for new acquisitions.
