FIX Firebird Resources Inc

Firebird Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: FIX) is pleased to announce initial drill results from its continuing drill program at its Buzzard project, South Carolina. Drill results from the first hole of a 2000 meter drilling program have been received. Hole FRDDBZ-102 was drilled to a depth of 152 meters to confirm and extend the historic drill results. Mineralization occurs within a heterolithic breccia unit that is well mineralized in historic drilling in nearby holes.

Significant results include:

Currently, three holes have been completed on the Buzzard project and the second hole has been prepared and sent to the laboratory while the third hole is being logged and prepared. The drill rig has moved to the Jefferson project for a 3 to 4 hole drill program. The drill will then return to Buzzard for another phase of drilling that is currently being planned.

The contractor has notified Firebird that a second rig is now available and that rig will be moved to the Belk project in South Carolina the week of August 22.

QA/QC Sampling and Analytical Protocols

The sampling and assaying of the drill core included QA/QC protocols to monitor for potential contamination, precision and accuracy of results including the regular submission of blank samples and certified reference standards. Samples were assayed using a 30 g fusion with AAS finish by AHK Geochem located in Fairbanks, Alaska, a member of the AHK Group, an ISO 17025:2005 accredited geochemical laboratory. Sample preparation was completed in their facility located in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Samples exceeding 3 ppm gold are re-assayed with gravimetric finish and those checks support the results presented above. Check analyses on rejects will be completed by ALS Chemex in Reno, Nevada.

We seek Safe Harbor.
