First Idaho Resources Inc. Provides Corporate Update

VANCOUVER, March 11, 2013 - First Idaho Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:FI) ("First Idaho" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update of recent Company developments.

Over the past year, First Idaho has made significant progress in refocusing the company towards our goal of evaluating and developing the historic Hercules Silver Project in Southwestern Idaho.


Details on Milestones:

In December 2011 Russell Marshall was appointed as President and CEO of First Idaho Resources Inc. Upon his arrival, Mr. Marshall immediately embarked on the task of lowering the overall risk profile of First Idaho by clearing all debts held by the company and paying out the option agreement on the property. First Idaho continues to have no warrants or options outstanding and has avoided increasing its outstanding shares substantially in order to preserve shareholder value. Mr. Marshall has fostered a goal-driven and detail-oriented culture at First Idaho, and has brought a wealth of experience in financing, acquisitions, strategic planning and corporate development to the company.

Despite recent difficulties in the capital markets for financing junior mining companies over the past year, First Idaho completed a $440,000 non-brokered private placement in May 2012. Don Adair, the company's project manager completed over $120,000 of preparation work on the property, which included road work, one year of water sampling and a renovation of the company's core sample storage facility.

In order to move forward with the evaluation and development of the Hercules Silver project, consulting geologist Theodore W. Muraro P.Eng., a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101 completed a revised NI-43-101 report in June 2012 in which he stated that "the Hercules silver property has the potential to contain an economically viable resource of silver at today's price. The Hercules adit area offers the best chance to develop this potential." Mr. Muraro also included a $2,964,000.00 proposed work program on the Hercules, which First Idaho is looking forward to implementing beginning April 1st. The planned work program for 2013 consists of the following:


Phase 1

Rehab existing drift or drive new drift    3 months      $600,000.00
Bulk sample                                2 months      $400,000.00
