Fire River Gold Corp. (TSX.V: FAU; OTCQX: FVGCF; FSE: FWR) (the "Company") wishes to announce that it has generated $1,082,507 of revenue from a mill clean up program at its Nixon Fork Gold Mine in Alaska. Approximately 513 kg of material was removed from behind the liners of the ball mill. This material is comprised of ground ore from mining operations, steel fragments from liner wear and worn down milling balls.
A total of 900.5 ounces of gold was recovered from 373 kg of this material. The remaining 140 kg of material is comprised of steel balls and the coarsest fraction of the mined ore. The gold content in this remaining material is not known at present. This material is being leached and payment for this fraction is expected by mid-July.
Proceeds from this sale will be used to fund ongoing exploration and development of the Nixon Fork Mining Project.
