FireFox Gold To Exercise Option for 100% Interest in the Sarvi Property, Finland

FireFox Gold To Exercise Option for 100% Interest in the Sarvi Property, Finland

FireFox Gold Corp. (TSX.V:FFOX)(OTCQB:FFOXF)("FireFox" or the "Company") is pleased to report that it has concluded its winter exploration program at the Sarvi Gold Project in Lapland, Finland. The program included a significant base-of-till (BoT) sampling campaign and a 12-hole maiden diamond drilling program (see Company news release dated January 20th 2022). Having met its work commitments under the option agreement with Magnus Minerals, the Company now intends to exercise the option to acquire a 100% interest in the group of properties that includes the Sarvi Project. The project includes three valid exploration permits that occupy approximately 8-km along the northern boundary of Rupert Resources' Area 1 discovery

FireFox Chairman Patrick Highsmith commented, "The Sarvi Project is without a doubt one of our most exciting projects. Even before receiving results from the recent program, we are keen to exercise our option for the core Sarvi property to secure a 100% interest in the project almost five months ahead of schedule. The option also includes the Lehto property to the north, which hosts similar geology but where we have yet to do detailed work."

Results from the BoT sampling and core drilling are expected over the next two months. These initial results will be important to guide the focus of the phase 2 drilling program at Sarvi, which will commence in the fourth quarter of this year.

Option Exercise

On August 21, 2018, the Company entered into an option agreement ("the Seuru Option") with Magnus Minerals Ltd. ("Magnus") to acquire a 100% interest in mineral exploration reservations (properties) in the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt of northern Finland. Since then, some of the properties have been evaluated and dropped, while other reservations and permits have been added and are subject to the conditions of the agreement (please refer to FireFox's management discussion and analysis filings for more details).

In order to exercise the Seuru Option, FireFox has completed the following commitments:

  1. issued 1,500,000 shares,
  2. made cash payments to Magnus totalling $150,000, and
  3. incurred C$1.5M in mineral exploration expenditures on the Seuru properties

FireFox will make a final payment to Magnus of $50,000 during May, ahead of the scheduled deadline of October 5, 2022.

Magnus will retain a 1.5% NSR royalty on production from the properties, 0.5% of which can be purchased for 1,000 troy ounces of gold.

FireFox Reports Extensions from Major Step-out Drilling and 6.87m of 59.12 g/t Gold in the First Trench at the East Target, Mustajärvi Gold Project, Finland

FireFox Reports Extensions from Major Step-out Drilling and 6.87m of 59.12 g/t Gold in the First Trench at the East Target, Mustajärvi Gold Project, Finland

FireFox Gold Corp. (TSX.V:FFOX)(OTCQB:FFOXF) ("FireFox" or the "Company") is pleased to report the results from the final four holes of the spring 2023 core drilling campaign at the Company's 100%-held Mustajärvi Gold Project in Lapland, Finland. Drill holes 23MJ005, 23MJ007, 23MJ008 and 23MJ009 at the East Target all encountered significant intervals of gold mineralization (Figure 1). Most encouraging were the holes to the southwest of the previous high-grade zone, which highlight the potential for significant expansion of the East Target in this direction. Company geologists also conducted a limited test trenching campaign over the surface expression of the East Target. The first trench revealed bonanza grade gold mineralization including 6.87 metres that averaged 59.12 gt Au on the basis of uncut results from 1-kilogram screen fire assays (Figure 3 and Table 3

FireFox Gold Drills 20.4 metres at 5.1 g/t Gold and Extends the Footprint of Mineralization at Mustajärvi East Target in Finland

FireFox Gold Corp. (TSXV:FFOX)(OTCQB:FFOXF)("FireFox" or the "Company") is pleased to report the results from the first four holes of the spring 2023 core drilling campaign at the Company's 100%-held Mustajärvi Gold Project in Lapland, Finland. Drill holes 23MJ001, 23MJ002, 23MJ003 and 23MJ004 at the East Target all encountered several significant intervals of gold mineralization and extended the mineralization to the northwest, southwest, southeast, and downdip. Each hole yielded assays above 10.0 gt gold. Highlights of selected intervals are shown below, while Table 1 includes all significant intercepts

  • 23MJ001
    • 11.95m averaging 9.69 g/t Au from 5.4 metres down hole (includes 0.3 metres of core loss);
      • including 0.75m at 94.50 g/t Au; and
    • 5.35m averaging 8.09 g/t Au from 37.25 metres down hole;
      • including 0.85 m at 28.87 g/t Au.
  • 23MJ002
    • 7.35 m averaging 2.40 g/t Au from 60.0 metres down hole;
      • including 1.0 meter at 10.51 g/t Au; and
    • 9.00 m averaging 1.06 g/ Au from 103.0 metres down hole.
  • 23MJ003
    • 9.50 m averaging 2.08 g/t Au from 155.5 metres down hole;
    • 2.45 m averaging 15.22 g/t Au from 248.65 meters down hole;
      • including 1.45m at 24.16 g/t Au.
  • 23MJ004
    • 20.45 m averaging at 5.14 g/t Au from 12.0 metres down hole;
      • including 0.75 m at 23.92 g/t Au;
      • including 3.15 m at 13.69 g/t Au;
      • including 0.9 m at 20.83 g/t Au; and
    • 14.8 m averaging 6.00 g/t Au from 54.0 metres down hole;
      • including 3.45 m at 19.43 g/t Au , which includes 1.55 m at 34.72 g/t Au.

Carl Lofberg, FireFox's CEO, commented about the new results, "The drill results from Mustajärvi continue to reveal thicker replacement-style gold mineralization that is very near surface. These four holes have filled in some gaps in the heart of the East Target and confirmed an expansion of the system to the south with a 120m step out hole. These results also confirm the presence of at least two directions of controlling structures - the main lode has been confirmed as plunging to the southwest and deeper high-grade intercepts reinforce the importance of the northeast trending vein system. We have much more data on the way, as results from the final four holes of this drill program are still pending and our team has commenced a trenching program at Mustajärvi East."
