VANCOUVER, CANADA, January 15, 2013 - Hi Ho Silver Resources Inc. ("Hi Ho" or the "Company") (CNSX: HHS) is pleased to announce applications have been submitted for diamond drilling permits on the Company's Saskatchewan English Bay Gold Property in the LaRonge Gold Belt. Hi Ho is currently waiting for the permit approval. Hi Ho's planned 2013 spring exploration program is to include the completion of a minimum of four (4) diamond drill holes for a total of approximately 800 metres. Mobilization of drilling equipment is expected to be in March 2013.

Between 1997 and 2001 a private company completed ground magnetic and very low frequency electro-magnetic (VLF-EM) geophysical surveys and diamond drilling of 35 holes totaling 4,707 metres within the 4 claims comprising the 2,087 hectare (5,157 acre) English Bay Property.

Diamond drilling targeted a 600 metre north-northeast trending magnetic and VLF-EM conductive anomaly. Gold mineralization at the English Bay Property is associated with quartz-carbonate veining, and disseminated to semi-massive pyrite-pyrrhotite mineralization hosted within fine-grained metasediments.

A number of significant high-grade gold intersections were discovered during the previous diamond drill programs. At a depth of 114.6 metres, drill hole CSP-3 returned assays of 37.24 grams-per-tonne (g/t) gold (1.09 ounces-per-ton; oz/t) over 2.59 metres. Drill hole CSP-35, collared 25 m to the south of CSP-3, intersected two zones of mineralization; including 2.44 metres grading 9.38 g/t gold (0.27 oz/t) at a depth of 160.0 metres, and 1.22 metres grading 19.10 g /t gold (0.56 oz/t) at 173.7 metres. Drill hole CSP-16 collared 300 metres to the south of CSP-3 intersected a shear zone at depth of 105.5 metres that returned assays of 72.86 g/t gold (2.13 oz/t) over 1.22 metres.

The LaRonge Gold belt is home to many past and currently operating mines, including Anglo Rouyn, Contact Lake, Jolu, Roy Loyd, and Komis, with additional projects and operations currently being developed.

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that address activities, events or developments that the Company expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including such things as planned exploration activities on the Property, the establishment of a NI 43-101 compliant resource on the Property, future business strategy, competitive strengths, goals, expansion, growth of the Company's businesses, operations, plans and with respect to exploration results, the timing and success of exploration activities generally, permitting time lines, government regulation of exploration and mining operations, environmental risks, title disputes or claims, limitations on insurance coverage, timing and possible outcome of any pending litigation and timing and results of future resource estimates or future economic studies.

Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "planning", "planned", "expects" or "looking forward", "does not expect", "continues", "scheduled", "estimates", "forecasts", "intends", "potential", "anticipates", "does not anticipate", or "belief", or describes a "goal", or variation of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved.

Forward-looking statements are based on a number of material factors and assumptions, including, the result of drilling and exploration activities, that contracted parties provide goods and/or services on the agreed timeframes, that equipment necessary for exploration is available as scheduled and does not incur unforeseen break downs, that no labour shortages or delays are incurred, that plant and equipment function as specified, that no unusual geological or technical problems occur, and that laboratory and other related services are available and perform as contracted. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, future events, conditions, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, prediction, projection, forecast, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the interpretation and actual results of current exploration activities; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; the existence of weather conditions suitable for exploration activities; future prices of minerals; possible variations in grade or recovery rates; failure of equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; the failure of contracted parties to perform; labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of exploration, as well as those factors disclosed in the company's publicly filed documents. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
