Fire River Gold Corp. (TSX-V: FAU; OTCQX: FVGCF; FSE: FWR) ("FAU" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that a 12,000 metre diamond drill program at its Nixon Fork Gold Mine is slated to begin late June 2010.
Drilling will initially focus on surface targets, particularly lateral or down plunge extensions of known mineralized zones which have the potential to provide additional resources to the mill. These types of targets include the Whalen, North Star, Mystery, Southern Cross, and J5A.
Following the Company's surface program, underground drilling will begin within the Crystal decline. The drill program is designed to add resources, particularly in the area of the 3300 zone, as well as explore prospective zones. Drilling will continue to further expand known resources as well as test 3 or 4 prospective zones. Will Beach, our newly hired underground supervisor, has examined the workings of the Crystal decline and found them to be in excellent condition, with only minor cleanup needed. Mr. Beach states, "The Crystal decline and associated levels can be ready for drilling immediately."
Cabo Drilling Corporation of North Vancouver, British Columbia has been contracted for this work which will be conducted by a B20 equipped, customized Mini Mite drill rig.
Drill Hole Sampling and Assaying Procedures Samples will be taken primarily from NQ2 sized drill core. The selected sample intervals will be halved by diamond saw which will be bagged, numbered and sent to ALS Chemex laboratory of Fairbanks, Alaska. FAU logging staff will conduct a rigorous Quality Control and Quality Assurance program which will include Standards, Blanks, Checks and Duplicates as well as Screen Metallics sampling with ore zones. Check Assays will be forwarded to Acme Analytical of Vancouver. Both ALS Chemex and Acme Analytical laboratories are ISO 9001/2000 accredited.
