RIZAL APPOINTS NEW DIRECTOR

May 21, 2019- Vancouver, British Columbia: Rizal Resources Corporation (TSXV: RZL) ("Rizal" or the "Company") John Reynolds has joined the board effective the 21st May 2019 to replace Steve Woods who tendered his resignation from the board effective the 7th of May. Steve has been on the board for 5 years and provided great support during a transformational time for Rizal.

The board would like to thank Steve for his efforts over the last 5 years, his contributions and support during this period.

John has been practising law for more than 26 years and spent more than 13 years working internationally. He joined the Project Engineering, Energy and Infrastructure Group of Lovells (now Hogan Lovells) in London. Over the next 10 years John provided advice and managed international disputes for companies like Alstom, Mitsubishi, Fluor, Bechtel, Motorola, Thales and Anadarko Petroleum.

John relocated back to Australia in 2011 and has spent the last 8 years working in several areas of the legal spectrum with the majority of the time spent working in the mining and energy space. This work included representing the traditional owners of James Price Point in Federal Court proceedings against the West Australian Government, Woodside and the Kimberley Land Council and working in a boutique legal practice focusing on providing legal advice to the mining industry at many levels.

We would like to welcome John to the Rizal Board and look forward working with him going forward.

The focus of the board and management is to optimize the T'Boli Project with the objective of maximising its full potential, at the same time rationalise Rizal's balance sheet and corporate structure subsequently targeting improved returns for stakeholders.

On Behalf of the Board,

Neil Grimes

Chairman
