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.
