News Releases

July 7, 2011 Vancouver, Canada - Fire River Gold Corp (TSXV: FAU) (OTCQX: FVGCF) (FSE: FWR) ("FAU" or the "Company") is pleased to announce additional high-grade results obtained from holes drilled during its 2011, 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 from the drill holes N11U-055 to N11U-094 from the 3000, 3200 and 3300 Zones. Diamond drill hole N11U-94 demonstrates new high grade zones of mineralization outside of the previously modelled area. This series of drill holes were extremely productive in expanding the extent of the gold mineralization of the 3300 zone. Of particular note is hole number N11U-068 that exhibited visible gold associated with native bismuth (See Figure 1). This demonstrates a known geochemical association of gold and bismuth in this deposit.

A complete listing of the drill hole intercepts are provided in Table 1.

Table 1: N11U-057 to N11U-94

Most of the holes released to-date have been for the purpose of ore definition in known blocks of mineralization. The 3000Z and 3200 zone holes are more exploratory, seeking additional mineralization in the upper Crystal mine beyond the mining zones of the six month operating plan.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I look forward to keeping you updated with our corporate developments.
