PVG Pretium Resources Inc

Pretium Resources Inc. (TSX:PVG) ("Pretivm") is pleased to report that, with the
completion of the acquisition on December 21, 2010 of the Snowfield project
("Snowfield") and Brucejack project ("Brucejack" and collectively with
Snowfield, the "Projects") from Silver Standard Resources Inc., all drill hole
interval assay data from the drilling completed on the Projects from 2006 to
2010 have been posted to Pretivm's website. In the Brucejack section, Pretivm
has also posted a tabulation of all uncut gold assay intervals grading over
three grams per tonne intersected in the 2009 and 2010 drilling campaign at
Brucejack.


In 2010, 51,100 meters of drilling was completed on the Projects. Pretivm is now
incorporating this drill and assay data into the resource models for the
Projects.


For Snowfield, an update of the September 2010 resource estimate is being
prepared incorporating the approximately 18,000 meters of drilling in 44 drill
holes completed in 2010.


For Brucejack, two resource estimates are being prepared incorporating the
33,100 meters of drilling in 73 drill holes completed in 2010: a higher-grade
resource estimate focusing on gold mineralization grading greater than three
grams of gold per tonne; and an update of the December 2009 bulk tonnage
resource estimate. 


All three of these resource estimates are expected to be completed in the first
half of 2011 and are Pretivm's current priority.


The results of these resource estimates are intended to be used to design the
2011 exploration program and to be incorporated into engineering studies.
Pretivm expects to have a significant drill program in 2011 focusing on the
high-grade aspect of Brucejack and has seven drills currently reserved for that
program.


Pretivm is also compiling all available data for incorporation into its planned
pre-prefeasibility study on the Projects' bulk tonnage opportunity as a
follow-up to the Technical Report and Preliminary Assessment of the
Snowfield-Brucejack Project as presented by Wardrop Engineering Inc., dated
October 28, 2010 and filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and available on Pretivm's
website.

Qualified Person

Kenneth C. McNaughton, M.A.Sc., P.Eng., is the Qualified Person (QP) for Pretium
Resources Inc. and is responsible for the Snowfield and Brucejack Project
exploration programs and has verified and supervised the preparation of the
exploration data. All samples were submitted for preparation and analysis by ALS
Chemex at its facilities in Terrace, B.C. All samples were analyzed using
multi-digestion with ICP finish. Samples over 100 ppm silver were reanalyzed
using four acid digestion with an ore grade AA finish. Samples over 1,000 ppm
silver were fire assayed with a gravimetric finish. Samples with over 10 ppm
gold were fire assayed with a gravimetric finish. One in 20 samples was blank,
one in 20 was a standard sample, and differing one in 20 samples was a field
duplicate one-quarter split core assayed at ALS Chemex in Vancouver, B.C.
