FireFox Gold Provides Exploration Update Including Additional Drilling, Surface Rock Sampling and Receipt of New Permits in Lapland, Finland

SODANKYLÄ, FINLAND / ACCESSWIRE / February 22, 2024 / FireFox Gold Corp. (TSXV:FFOX)(OTCQB:FFOXF)("FireFox" or the "Company") announces the completion of another drilling campaign at the Company's 100%-held Mustajärvi Gold Project in Lapland, Finland. The program included six drill holes totalling 1,617.5 metres, focused on testing for extensions to depth of the near-surface high-grade gold zone at the East Target. Core logging identified several intervals of quartz-carbonate-tourmaline-pyrite veins cutting through all lithologies, as well as intensely altered sections of intermediate tuffites and gabbro. FireFox expects to report the analytical results by early March.

FireFox is also pleased to report results from recent surface sampling at the Saittavaara prospect, which is part of the large 100%-controlled Jeesiö Project. The field team identified and sampled a new area of gold mineralization situated a few hundred metres west from where reconnaissance drilling in 2021 hit gold in two holes, including a near-surface interval of 4.0m averaging 2.03 g/t Au. The gold in this new area occurs in highly deformed and altered metasedimentary rocks (quartzites). The highest gold values from this sampling included 6.28 g/t Au, 5.04 g/t Au and 4.07 g/t Au (See Figure 1).

Finally, the Company reports that it has secured exploration permits for three more of its tenement blocks covering approximately 22km² (see Figure 2). These permits are strategically located proximal to important gold-hosting geologic units and structures. The Company has completed reconnaissance work in these areas and believes they all warrant more detailed exploration. The new permits allow for mechanized work including base of till sampling and drilling.

Carl Lofberg, CEO, commented "We are pleased to be kicking off 2024 with first quarter drill results from our Mustajärvi Project, encouraging new rock sampling results from the Jeesiö Project, and significant new exploration permits in the very active Central Lapland Greenstone Belt. We are excited to see the new drill results from Mustajärvi in the next couple of weeks. And our exploration pipeline remains full, even after optioning our Kolho Property to Agnico Eagle in December."

Jeesiö Project Program Details

The 100%-controlled Jeesiö Project covers approximately 74.6 km² along the Sirkka Shear Zone, a trans-crustal structure that controls the emplacement of numerous orogenic gold deposits in Lapland. The main Jeesiö targets include the Utsamo and Kataja Belt areas. From south to north, the Kataja Belt consists of three gold prospects: Saittavaara, Katajavaara South (KJ South) and Katajavaara Hill (KJ Hill). The prospects span more than 4 kilometres, apparently related to en echelon northerly striking younger ("D3" or "D4") structures. The high-resolution airborne magnetics data reveal multiple generations of folding and faulting across the southern part of the property. Younger asymmetric folding west of the Kataja Belt shows evidence of disruption by right-lateral shearing broadly parallel with northeast trending axial planes. These shears appear to be associated with the gold showings in the Kataja Belt.
