FIRE RIVER GOLD ADDS KEY MANAGEMENT TO NIXON FORK GOLD MINE

Fire River Gold Corp. has expanded its management team at the Nixon Fork mine. Several key personnel have been recently added to oversee construction of the cyanidation plant during the winter and ready the mine for production next summer.

Leonard Therrien, PEng, joined the company in June, 2010, as mine superintendent (see the company's news in Stockwatch on July 8, 2010) and has recently been promoted to mine manager, directing all activities at the site. Mr. Therrien is from the Marathon region of Ontario, where he has worked these past 24 years. His last assignment was as mine superintendent of Barrick Gold Corp.'s 800-tonne-per-day David Bell mine, where he managed all aspects of underground production, including production and maintenance, and managed a total crew of 140 workers. Mr. Therrien is a licensed professional mining engineer with a BSc from the South Dakota School of Mines.

Bruce Ferguson, PEng, has been hired as the mill superintendent. Mr. Ferguson has had a blend of operational, construction and consulting experience in his past. He has over 10 years of experience as a mill superintendent and an additional 10 years as senior metallurgist, working with such companies as Procon Mining & Tunneling, Antler Peak Gold, Wardrop, North AEcho Baymerican Tungsten, Kappes, Cassiday & Associates, SNC-Lavelin and Minerals. Mr. Ferguson has extensive experience in both the construction and operation of cyanidation plants. He will act as project manager for the construction of the Nixon Fork plant, then assume responsibility for mill operations. Mr. Ferguson is a licensed professional mill processing engineer with a BASc from the University of British Columbia.

Michael McGinnis, CPG, has joined the team as chief geologist. Mr. McGinnis has extensive experience working in Alaska on such projects as Donlin Creek and Pebble. His more than 20 years of experience cover all aspects of exploration in senior positions with such companies as Kobex Colorado Corp., Placer Dome and New Butte Mining. He also has over 10 years as a senior consultant for clients such as Agnico-Eagle, Hecla and Hunter Dickenson. Mr. McGinnis is experienced in various styles of gold mineralization, including epithermal and Carlin-type deposits, copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry systems, and skarns. Mr. McGinnis will manage the diamond drilling program at the site; manage the geological staff; and oversee all exploration activities. He is a licensed professional geologist in Alaska, with a BSc degree in geology from Fort Lewis College, Colorado.

Bryan Bishop has been hired as mining engineer to develop the mine plan for the Nixon Fork operation. Mr. Bishop has nearly 20 years of experience designing, evaluating and planning underground mines for such companies as Century Mining, Denison Mines, Newmont and Kinross. He has a blend of engineering and hands-on operational experience as an underground miner and mine surveyor. Mr. Bishop has a BSc in mining engineering from the Montana College of Mineral Science and Technology.

This team will continue to advance the Nixon Fork mine project by completing the construction of a 250-tonne-per-day cyanidation plant, managing a two-drill 28,000-metre drilling program and preparing the mine for the eventual resumption of underground mining.

"We are pleased to have attracted such a competent core of professionals to manage the program," commented Richard Goodwin, vice-president, mining, who manages the overall project. "Good talent is hard to find in our industry, and we have been very fortunate to assemble such a competent and experienced team."
