VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Sept. 14, 2010) -Fire River Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE: FAU)(OTCQX: FVGCF) (FRANKFURT:FWR) ("FAU" or the "Company") continues to announce high grade assay results from its on going re- evaluation program at the Nixon Fork Gold Mine situated in Alaskas Tintina Gold Belt. The Company has received assay results and completed careful review of holes 77 through 89 completed in 2007 (N07U077 to N07U089).

New significant intercepts include N07U0083 returning grades of 26 g/t (0.76 opt) gold over 2.9 m (9.5 ft), including 64 g/t (1.87 opt) over 1.0 m (3.3 ft) and intercept N07U084 returning grades of 32 g/t (0.93 opt) gold over 2.6 m (8.5 ft) as part of the geological re-evaluation program for the Nixon Fork Gold Mine in Alaska. A complete list of significant intercepts is provided in Table 1.

During 2007 and 2008, the previous operator completed 9400 metres from mostly underground drill stations in 110 holes. The results for these holes were not reported by that operator and have never been included in a resource assessment of the mine. The geologic evaluation (re-logging) of the 9400 metres is complete.

Re-logging and sampling of the 2007 and 2008 drill core has been completed. Geologic work has now been focusing on selected zones from the pre-2007 core library, particularly in areas of favourable targets and mineralization. Work has also begun on a new resource estimate scheduled for completion by fall of 2010.

Table 2 illustrates the most recent significant intercepts for drill holes re-logged and sampled during this program. These drill holes were completed in the Crystal decline around the 3300 zone near the 220 ft level. Most of the drill program completed in 2007 was designed to test projections of known mineralized zones, such as the 3300 zone with modest step-outs down and up dip as well as along strike. Step-outs ranged from 7.5 metres to more than 40 metres from known zones.
