Fire River Gold 65.3g/t Gold Over 5.5 m At Nixon Fork  

VANCOUVER - Fire River Gold Corp reported results obtained from additional holes drilled during its 28,000 metre drill program at the Nixon Fork Gold Mine, situated in Alaska's Tintina Gold Belt. The Company has received and confirmed assay results of two additional holes (N10U-043 - N10U-044) from the lower extension 3000 Zone.

The new intercepts include drillhole N10U-043, returned grades of 65.3g/t (1.90 opt) gold over 5.5 m (18.0 ft) and drillhole N10U-044 returning grades of 124.3 g/t (3.63 opt) gold over 2.7 m (8.9 ft) with significant intersections returning grades of 11.3 g/t (0.33 opt) gold over 0.6 m (2.0 ft), and 11.7 g/t (0.34 opt) over 1.5 m (4.9 ft) at lower extension 3000 Zone. The widths of the intercepts are approximate to the true width of the mineralized intercept. Both holes target the down dip extension of the 3000 zone. The Company operates two drills continuously in the Crystal Mine. They are primarily focussed on detailing mineralized zones scheduled for the first six months of mining, beginning in June 2011. This includes filling in gaps in mineralization and extending open zones along strike and dip. The company's address is 2303 West 41st Avenue, Vancouver, BC V6M 2A3, 604-685-1870, fax: 604-685-8045, email: [email protected]
