TARGET AND INCREASES LAND POSITION AT GRASSET DOME PROPERTY

.

By | April 8, 2015

VANCOUVER, CANADA, April 8, 2015, Hi Ho Silver Resources Inc. (CSE:HHS) (“Hi Ho” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an Agreement to acquire an undivided 100% interest in three mineral titles, covering 110 hectares in in the Voisey’s Bay Area of Labrador and an additional 112 hectares at the Company’s Grasset Dome Property in Quebec, pursuant to a property purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) dated April 7, 2015.

In consideration for 100% interest in the Properties, with no retained net smelter royalty, the Company will issue 4,500,000 common shares at a deemed price of $0.05 per share to Marcy Kiesman (the “Vendor”) upon Closing date of the Agreement, which is anticipated to be on or before 30th day of April, 2015. The shares will be subject to a hold period expiring four months plus one day from the date of issuance. There will be finder’s fees payable with respect to this transaction.

LABRADOR NICKEL TARGET, VOISEY’S BAY AREA

The Labrador nickel prospect acquisition includes the Plugger Hill nickel prospect and covers 110 hectares located in the Labrador nickel belt, Newfoundland, Canada. The property is located 30 km south-southeast of the Voisey’s Bay minesite of VALE, and approximately 3 km south-southwest of a land block held by Equitas Resources (TSX-EQT).

The prospect, which contains an outcropping nickel sulphide showing, was previously explored by INCO following the discovery of the Voisey’s Bay deposit. It has similar host geology and similar mineralization to Voisey’s Bay, as described in a historic report by Lee and Bengert 2004 (Registry File no.774-403).

Exploration for targets at greater depths than previously drilled will be based on deeper penetrating geophysical techniques than previously available. This was referenced in the Equitas Resources News release of February 3, 2015: “Exploration methods focused on outdated frequency domain airborne electromagnetic surveys over isolated areas and which have very shallow depth penetration capabilities (estimated at 75 metres)…..”. With new geophysical technology and techniques it is possible to identify zones of mineralization at greater depths.

With reference to the current land position, Lee and Bengert (2004) stated: “The Garland Lake area lies close to the projected suture line between the Nain Archean rocks to the east and the Proterozoic Churchill province rocks to the west. Along the suture line, and overlapping it, are large igneous intrusions of anorthositic and granitic composition as well as smaller volumes of troctolite and olivine gabbro. Regardless of matrix composition, the fragments in the breccia are consistently paragneiss and appear to be Tasiuyak Gneiss. The occurrence of troctolitic breccias with Tasiuyak Gneiss inclusions and disseminated sulphides is a characteristic of the Voisey’s Bay deposit”.

The sulphide assemblage within the breccia at Garland Lake is dominated by pyrrhotite, with chalcopyrite and pentlandite. The amount of sulphides within the breccia matrix reaches 10%. The nickel grades of the assayed samples reached 0.5% nickel….The granite breccia occasionally contains fragments of massive, inclusion-free troctolite, suggesting that more extensive troctolitic intrusions may lie at depth.

GRASSET DOME LAND ADDITION, QUEBEC

The Grasset Dome land acquisition adds to the previously held 9830 HA land position adjacent to the Grasset Lake nickel discovery of Balmoral Resources Inc. This helps solidify Hi Ho’s land position in that nickel belt.

Hi Ho will seek to raise funds to explore both the Labrador nickel prospect and the Grasset Dome nickel target.
