SODANKYLÄ, FINLAND – (January 16, 2025) – FireFox Gold Corp. (TSX.V: FFOX)(OTCQB: FFOXF)(“FireFox” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce details from two new targets at its 100%-controlled Mustajärvi Project. FireFox has been growing the land position at the project over the last three years, and Company geologists have identified several structural targets in new areas that are hundreds of metres from previous drilling. In addition to strongly mineralized grab samples, the Triangle Target has benefitted from a modest trenching program that revealed highlights of 1.83 g/t and 1.425 g/t gold over one metre diamond saw cuts. The second new target is called Pikkulehto, and it is located approximately four kilometres east of the main Mustajärvi permit. Pikkulehto is ideally situated among splays of the important Venejoki Shear Zone (VSZ), but glacial sediment cover obscures outcrop.

The Triangle Target lies approximately 700 metres northwest from the high-grade gold mineralization of the East Target (Figure 1). During the fall exploration program, the team excavated a single thirteen-by-six-metre exploration trench near the location of several grab samples that returned 4.82 and 4.41 g/t gold, as previously reported (see Company news release September 17, 2024). The target was discovered by prospecting along an interpreted fault zone that follows a topographic depression that strikes NNW-SSE. The new trench exposed altered bedrock, but deeper overburden in the drainage prevented a full test of the interpreted structure. 

Pikkulehto is the easternmost of several new permits that comprise the Mustajärvi Project. Regional magnetics suggests a favourable setting in the area as faults appear to juxtapose magnetic highs and lows, similar to the Mustajärvi Shear Zone, from which FireFox has been reporting high-grade gold since 2019. During the fall of 2024, Company geologists completed detailed ground magnetics surveys over the Pikkulehto permit. A subsequent interpretation of the detailed data suggests the presence of hydrothermal alteration and possible dilatancies related to through-going faults, including splays of the crustal-scale Venejoki Shear Zone. Since there is little or no outcrop, the new Pikkulehto target will be tested with base-of-till (BoT) sampling, the exploration tool that led to the Ikkari discovery by Rupert Resources.

FireFox CEO Carl Lofberg commented, “These new results are significant because Mustajärvi has been perceived as a small target. Along only two kilometres of strike length of the Mustajärvi Shear Zone, we have reported numerous high-grade drill holes and two trenches containing better than 10 g/t gold mineralization. The +4 g/t gold samples at the Triangle Target are more than 500 metres from any previous drilling. Pikkulehto is 4 kilometres from the Mustajärvi drilling. Both of these targets add several more kilometres of undrilled controlling structure to the already-rich Mustajärvi discovery. Stay tuned for further results and drilling from these areas in 2025.”

Triangle Target Details

The FireFox team discovered the area during the 2024 exploration program through systematic detailed mapping, during which they encountered an outcrop of massive to semi-massive hematite, later confirmed by assay to be gold mineralized. The anomalous grab samples and the trench sit on the margin of an interpreted NNW-SSE striking fault zone that runs through a topographic depression. Since the excavator could not penetrate the deeper cover in the depression, the full width and extent of the alteration and fault zone are not known at this time. Even though gold mineralization is only known so far on the margin of the structure, the target is believed to have room to grow because the magnetic low (and topographic low) persists for hundreds of metres to the south (Figure 2). 

Trench1

The first trench excavated in the Triangle Target was thirteen metres long and six metres wide, oriented WSW-ENE (see Figure 3). The orientation was determined based on the preliminary interpretation of a NNW-SSE striking fault zone located in the adjacent topographic low. The trenching confirmed the mapping observations and also provided useful information about the orientation of the mineralization.

The trenching revealed a zone of significant alteration, including massive to semi-massive hematite, clay, and cross cutting quartz veins. The rocks exposed in the trench were weakly to strongly mineralized in gold, including 1.83 and 1.425 g/t in the channel cuts and 1.37 and 0.59 g/t in grab samples.

Figure 2 - The Triangle Target relative to the East and Northeast Targets over detailed ground magnetics.

The trench clearly revealed multiple NNW-SSE trending zones of alteration parallel to the interpreted fault zone and topographic depression. The rocks are deeply weathered, so much of the original textures and mineralogy are destroyed. The host bedrock is interpreted to be metasediments of the Sodankylä group. The presence of abundant iron oxide suggests that some of that oxidation may have come from supergene alteration of sulphide minerals, but sampling encountered no fresh pyrite in the excavation.

FireFox geologists mapped the trench from west to east (least altered to most altered). The units are described from west to east as weakly altered metasedimentary rocks, hematite-stained metasedimentary rocks, kaolinite zone, fragmental quartz vein zone, and hematite zone (Figure 3). The hematite content increases with proximity to the interpreted fault, and the highest gold grades occur in the iron-rich unit. The quartz vein zone also contains remnants of veins with abundant hematized cavities. The kaolinite zone appears to be transitional between the hematite and quartz and the weakly altered metasedimentary rocks, and the clay alteration is similar to that recorded in trenching at the Mustajärvi Central and East Targets.

The geologists elected to cut two diamond saw channels along the trench perpendicular to the interpreted structure and the strike of the alteration zones. Each channel sample was approximately 1.0 metre in length.

Figure 3 - Trench 1 at Triangle target with gold results and geology on air photo.

The channel sampling of Trench 1 returned notable gold mineralization in three samples, where the gold content was above the cut-off of 0.5 g/t (see Table 1). Channel 1 was 12.89 m long and contained a single metre interval of 1.425 g/t Au, with the surrounding samples also containing highly anomalous gold levels. Channel 2 contained a zone of two metres averaging 1.34 g/t Au, which was also surrounded by highly anomalous, but below cutoff grade gold. In addition, two of the grab samples taken from the trench contained 1.37 g/t and 0.589 g/t Au, respectively. 

Table 1. Channel Samples from Triangle Target Trench1 (West to East).

Pikkulehto Program details

FireFox’s 100%-owned Pikkulehto exploration permit area is located approximately four kilometres east of the main Mustajärvi permit, and it covers roughly 3.2 km². Pikkulehto lies within splays of the Venejoki Shear Zone, an important crustal scale shear zone that intersects with the Sirkka Shear Zone to the northeast. The property is also close to the interpreted contact between the Sodankylä and Savukoski Group rocks, a contact that hosts high-grade gold at the main Mustajärvi permit. Based on the current understanding, the bedrock geology includes quartz-rich metasedimentary rocks, gabbros and mafic volcanic rocks, while graphitic schists and cherts of the Savukoski Group lie less than one kilometer to the northwest from the permit. Two historic gold occurrences, Pikku-Mustavaara and Tuongankuusikko, are located within approximately a 1 km radius from the permit boundary (see Figure 1). In the past, the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) and Outokumpu conducted limited exploration within the permit area, including four drill holes with depths less than 20 metres, and minimal surface sampling (18 till samples); no significant gold was reported.

New detailed ground magnetic surveys provide better insights into the structural complexity present in the permit area. The southern parts of the permit are cut by a roughly E-W trending magnetic low anomaly interpreted as an ENE-WSW trending fault zone with multiple bends or jog-like geometries (see Figure 4). These are interpreted as dilational jogs in a dextral strike-slip fault zone, similar to those seen straddling the Mustajärvi Shear Zone. Similar types of fault zones are also interpreted to the north and south of this ENE-WSW trending structure. There is good evidence that this structural system is linked to the adjacent Venejoki Shear Zone, which itself is connected to the Sirkka Shear Zone (a major D1 structure) (Figures 1 and 4).

The faults interpreted within the Pikkulehto permit could represent splaying branch faults from the Venejoki Shear Zone (Figures 1 and 4). Interestingly, within the Pikkulehto permit area, these ENE-WSW trending fault zones seem to delineate low-magnetic lens-like geometries, which may indicate hydrothermal fluid activity. There are also later northeast striking faults crosscutting the area, likely the D3 event known to host gold.

Figure 4 - Ground magnetics interpretation in the Pikkulehto permit area. Black arrows indicate E-W directed tension related to the N-S trending D4 faults.

The abundant structural intersections from multiple generations of faulting combined with the variable magnetic response, resemble the setting at the Central, Northeast, and East zones at the main Mustajärvi permit, where high-grade gold has been drilled repeatedly since 2019. These analogues to nearby gold mineralization and structural patterns observed at Pikkulehto highlight the potential for gold discovery in the area. Until recently, the Firefox team had solely performed bedrock & boulder mapping and ground magnetic surveys in the area. It is clear now that the glacial sediments obscure the bedrock sufficiently to warrant a BoT sampling survey at Pikkulehto so that these structural targets can be tested.

Methodology & Quality Assurance

The trenching campaign was conducted in an accessible area with limited young forest cover, minimizing environmental impact. To maintain the safety of the working team the trenches were gradually sloped and slightly extended in width.  The channel sample intervals were measured with a measuring tape, the measurement results were refined with a high-precision RTK-GPS device. Trenches were channel sampled with a diamond saw for the entire exposure in order to extract large consistent samples while cutting primary structures and veins as close to true thickness as possible.  Where the rock integrity was compromised by weathering and alteration, geologists collected the samples with hammer and chisel. 

Samples reported in this news release were collected by FireFox geologists, who transported the samples to the Company’s secure facility in Sodankylä. After documentation and insertion of quality assurance samples, the rock samples were delivered to an ALS sample prep lab in Sodankylä. The samples were then crushed to -2 mm, split and pulverized into 1kg pulps, before being shipped to the ALS facility in Rosia Montana, Romania for gold by fire assay of 50 gm aliquots with AAS finish (method Au-AA24). Other elements, altogether 48, were measured after four-acid digestion by ICP-AES and ICP-MS (method ME-MS61) at the ALS facility located in Loughrea, Ireland.

ALS Laboratories is a leading international provider of assay and analytical data to the mining industry. All ALS geochemical hub laboratories, including the Irish facility, are accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 for specific analytical procedures. The Firefox QA/QC program consists of insertion of certificated standard material and blanks inserted by Firefox into the analytical batches did not show deviations from recommended values.

SODANKYLÄ, FINLAND – (December 11, 2024) – FireFox Gold Corp. (TSX.V: FFOX)(OTCQB: FFOXF)(“FireFox” or the “Company”) reports results from the fall exploration program at its 100%-held Jeesiö Project in Lapland, Finland. During the late summer and fall of 2024, the technical team focused on the southern end of the Jeesiö property, including the prospects KJ Hill, KJ South, and Saittavaara where rock sampling has repeatedly yielded encouraging results. The current program included limited scale trenching, mapping, and sampling. The trenching campaign at the KJ Hill prospect exposed a substantial zone of gold-mineralized quartz veins within a N-S striking deformation zone along the hillside. Channel samples collected from the vein zone graded 14.62 g/t gold over 2.84 metres, 2.69 g/t gold over 3.38 metres and 1.85 g/t gold over 1.69 metres.

Farther south on the same project, FireFox has expanded the size of the Saittavaara gold prospect with strong gold results from new surface sampling. The team followed the northwest trending magnetic-low corridor into zones of strongly sericite-altered and deformed quartzite with abundant iron oxide staining, which yielded gold values in rock samples of 3.16 g/t, 3.05 g/t, 2.61 g/t, and 2.57 g/t. This new gold-rich showing extends Saittavaara more than 800 metres from previous sampling to span a trend of more than 1.6 kilometres with significant gold showings.

Carl Lofberg, CEO, commented “There are now several significant gold occurrences over the large Jeesiö Project. In recent years, we have added detailed ground magnetics across the southern part of the property, and now we can see the relationship of these gold showings to the NE and NW striking faults, which are important in controlling gold in this part of Lapland. Our geologists have done great work to persist in their prospecting, and now we have collected numerous high-grade rock chips from KJ South up to the KJ Hill target – which are completely undrilled. The team has also expanded the Saittavaara showing another 800m north, well away from the very limited drilling we did there in 2021. These new targets are advancing Jeesiö upwards on our list of priorities.”

Jeesiö Project Program Details

The 100%-controlled Jeesiö Project covers approximately 71 km² along one of the major trans-crustal structures that control 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) spanning at least 3 kilometres. These are apparently related to northeast-trending younger fault zones and to a major left-lateral fault zone that continues from these three prospects further towards northwest and southeast. The high-resolution airborne magnetics data reveal multiple generations of folding and faulting across the southern part of the property (Figure 1).

Figure 1. Magnetics interpretation and target areas on Jeesiö property.
The area of exploration trenching in 2024 is marked with black box.

KJ Hill

The 2024 exploration trenching campaign at Jeesiö was focused on the KJ Hill prospect, which is located approximately 900 metres to the north of KJ South along the trend of a N-S oriented magnetic feature. Along the eastern slope of the hill, there are fields of locally derived boulders displaying abundant mineralized quartz veins intruding metasedimentary (arkose and quartzite) and mafic igneous rocks. FireFox collected grab samples from surface boulders of these quartz veins in 2020, including one sample with 4.73 g/t Au (see Company news release datedOctober 6, 2020). This trend of anomalous samples is approximately 400 metres long and appears to be associated with a younger structure that crosscuts the north-trending magnetic anomaly in a northeasterly direction. This outcrop area was part of the 2022 exploration trenching campaign, which unearthed more narrow gold-bearing structures, including a high-grade quartz vein with 33.60 g/t Au from the KJ Hill prospect (see Company news release dated January 25, 2023). To improve understanding about the extent of the mineralized system, FireFox continued the trenching at this prospect in September 2024.

During the 2024 exploration trenching campaign at KJ Hill, the team excavated two NNE-SSW trending trenches. The first was 11 metres long and excavated parallel to the NNE-SSW trending fault zone. The exposed geology consisted mostly of strongly carbonatized mafic intrusive rocks, siliciclastic metasedimentary rocks, and quartz veins that contained disseminated pyrite, magnetite and goethite. Geologists collected two channel samples – one channel sample perpendicular and another sample parallel to the trench, and several grab samples. The channel sample cut perpendicular to the shear zone returned 0.59 g/t Au over 1.09 metres (Table 1).

Table 1. Highlights of the Kataja Hill assays with selected pathfinder elements. Bismuth (Bi) and Tellurium (Te) show positive correlation with the gold (Au) values in the area.

Figure 2. Map of quartz vein swarms and lenses in trench KT24-2.
Quartz veins can be seen to deflect in association with fault zones.

The second trench (KT24-2, Figure 2) was approximately 40 metres long and included several smaller side cuts. The lithology consists of siliciclastic metasedimentary rocks cut by quartz vein swarms and lenses. The contacts between the veins and metasediments sometimes contain traces of disseminated pyrite and magnetite with secondary goethite. The metasedimentary rocks are strongly schistose, the dominant fabric striking to the NNE. The vertical to subvertical quartz vein swarms usually strike northerly (NE to NNW), somewhat oblique to the schistosity. However, the veins occasionally deflect parallel to the schistosity planes, indicating strong right-lateral ductile deformation was likely present during or before the vein formation. The right-lateral fault zones shown on Figure 1 are likely related to the so-called D₃ deformation event in Lapland; and these faults are concordant with local schistosity as evidenced by measurement of sub-horizontal slickensides on the deformed rocks.

FireFox geologists collected 19 channel samples from trench KT24-2, 15 of which were taken along the quartz vein swarms and four were perpendicular to the swarms and local rock fabric. The strongest results were from quartz vein samples, including 14.62 g/t Au from an individual 2.84 metre channel sample, 2.69 g/t Au from a 3.38 metre-wide channel sample, and 1.85 g/t Au from a 1.69 metre-wide channel sample. These results contribute to the widespread gold occurrences at the Katajavaara prospect, which remains undrilled and open in every direction.

The FireFox team believes that these narrow gold showings are expressions of structural leakage from a larger gold system that may be controlled by the major NW trending shear zone in Figure 1. As this major shear zone continues to the northwest, it intersects different lithology and hosts magnetic lows that now occupy topographic lowlands where swamps have formed.

Saittavaara Prospect

The FireFox team has now identified new targets from detailed ground magnetics surveys in the southern and southwestern parts of the Jeesiö project area, which correspond well with prospecting efforts in 2023 and 2024, as previously reported (see News Release dated February 22, 2024, and September 17, 2024). Previous mapping and sampling in this area highlighted a package of gold-mineralized highly-deformed quartz-rich metasedimentary rocks and a corresponding magnetic-low corridor. The magnetic feature strikes NW-SE and is interpreted to be cut by multiple faults. The dominant lithology at Saittavaara is quartzite, often showing signs of alteration with sericite and iron oxide (Figures 3 and 4).   

Earlier sampling in the area was encouraging, including rock chip samples of 5.04 and 6.28 g/t gold. During the fall of 2024, geologists pushed this trend approximately 800 metres to the northwest from the previous occurrence by collecting 15 additional samples, which again yielded significant gold values including multiple samples over 2 g/t Au (Table 2). The geochemistry in this area is a bit different, as peak molybdenum (Mo) values reach almost 0.24% in these rocks. The association of high-grade gold with Mo, Bi, and Te has been noted at Mustajärvi and other of the Company’s projects.

Methodology & Quality Assurance

Rock chip samples reported in this news release were collected by FireFox geologists, who transported the samples to the Company’s secure facility in Sodankylä. After documentation and insertion of quality assurance samples, the rock samples were delivered to an ALS sample prep lab in Sodankylä. The samples were then crushed to -2 mm, split and pulverized into 1kg pulps, before being shipped to the ALS facility in Rosia Montana, Romania for gold by fire assay of 50 gm aliquots with AAS finish (method Au-AA24). Samples assaying above 10 g/t gold are automatically re-assayed by a 50-gm fire assay with gravimetric finish (method Au-GRA22). At FireFox’s request, these overlimit assays were completed in triplicate in order to evaluate the homogeneity of the gold in the prepared samples. Other elements, altogether 48, were measured after four-acid digestion by ICP-AES and ICP-MS (method ME-MS61) at the ALS facility located in Loughrea, Ireland.

SODANKYLÄ, FINLAND – (November 21, 2024) – FireFox Gold Corp. (TSX.V: FFOX)(OTCQB: FFOXF)(“FireFox” or the “Company”) announces the completion of a successful new exploration trenching campaign that has extended surface high-grade gold mineralization at the East Target, within the Company’s 100%-held Mustajärvi Gold Project in Lapland, Finland. A new trench at the East Target cut 10.1 metres averaging 13.79 g/t gold. This result builds on the first trench on the target in 2023 that reported bonanza gold grades of 6.87 metres averaging 59.12 g/t gold (see July 27, 2023 news release).

The new trench excavated in October 2024 stepped out approximately 35 metres east-northeast from the 2023 trench (see Figure 1). Beneath approximately six metres of glacial overburden, Trench 1-2024 revealed multiple high-grade gold samples in addition to the continuously mineralized 10.1 metre interval, including cross-cutting channel samples of 24.8 g/t, 22.6 g/t, and 17.6 g/t gold and grab samples of 180.5 g/t, 33.4 g/t, and 17.95 g/t gold. 

A second trench of the October campaign (Trench 2-2024) stepped out 30 metres on the opposite side of the 2023 trench (southwest). While the mineralization encountered in the second trench was lower grade, the channel samples returned a zone of 2.0 metres averaging 2.56 g/t gold, along with several other 1 metre channels containing more than 1.0 g/t gold and one channel cut of 6.34 g/t gold. 

Carl Lofberg, FireFox’s CEO, commented about the new results, “Our latest trenching at Mustajärvi has once again revealed high grade gold beneath only five or six metres of overburden. This is important because it reminds us that the comparatively thin overburden in this part of Lapland can easily obscure high grade gold deposits that could be surface mineable.  The East Target now boasts a corridor at least 70 metres along strike and more than 10 metres wide with significant gold coming very close to surface. There aren’t many first-tier jurisdictions in the world where +10 g/t gold can still be discovered in trenches within 80 metres of a paved highway. In addition to the recent trenching at the East Target, our team has also been conducting electrical geophysics to target the high-grade East Target at depth, and our continued prospecting has also identified new prospects well away from any drilling.”

The sample grades disclosed herein represent only the gold concentration in the specific material collected. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in these targets being delineated as a mineral resource.

Discussion of Results

Trench 1-2024

The first trench of the program (Trench 1-2024, see Figure 2) was located approximately 35 metres east-northeast of Trench 1-2023, and approximately 20 metres northeast of drill hole 22MJ006 that returned a 13.85-metre interval averaging 28.74 g/t gold starting at 24.2 metres downhole (see news releases dated July 13, 2022 and September 6, 2022). The trench was 14 metres long and 1 metre wide, oriented northwest-southeast. The trench revealed strongly weathered and altered bedrock below glacial sediments of varying depths, from 5.0 metres at the northern end to 6.5 metres at the southern end of the trench. Increasing depth of unconsolidated overburden limits the southern extent of both Trench 1-2023 and Trench 1-2024. 

Most of the rocks exposed in the trench were intensely clay altered and weathered, exhibiting strong evidence of oxidized sulphide minerals and having virtually no original textures preserved. The clay-altered unit is interpreted to be the intermediate tuffite, which is commonly observed in drilling as host to the gold mineralization at Mustajärvi East. In addition to kaolinization, the rocks are also sericitized and hematized, leaving relict tourmaline both disseminated and veinlet-hosted. There are a few narrow quartz veins that 

Figure 2. Mustajärvi East Trench 1-2024 Geology and Assays on Air Photo

strike northwest to northeast and dip to the west. The clay-altered and mineralized unit continues at least to the southern end of the trench. The remarkable orange-red colour of the weathered bedrock is likely the result of oxidation of large amounts of pyrite, so, much of the exposure may be called a gossan. Fresh pyrite is only rarely observed due to near-pervasive oxidation.

Channel sampling of Trench 1-2024 returned high-grade gold mineralization in multiple samples as shown in Table 1.  Channel 1 was sampled parallel to the trench and sub-orthogonal to the rock units and returned 10.1 metres that averaged 13.79 g/t Au (uncut). Channels 2 through 4 were sampled orthogonal to the trench and subparallel to the rock units. A nominal one-meter-long sample was collected in each, and all returned very high gold grades, ranging from 17.6 g/t to 24.8 g/t as shown in Table 1 and Figure 2. 

FireFox geologists also collected nine grab samples from the trench exposure, including three high-grade samples of 180.5 g/t, 33.4 g/t, and 17.95 g/t gold (See Table 2). These highly mineralized samples were also intensely clay-altered metasedimentary rock with relict quartz-tourmaline and/or quartz veins.   

The northernmost four metres of Trench 1-2024 comprised strongly foliated and altered metasedimentary rocks, likely including intermediate tuffs and volcanically derived sediments (shaded green on Figure 2). These rocks contain magnetite and are altered with sericite and iron carbonate, but they contain very little gold. This unit dips steeply to the southeast, which is consistent with most of the Mustajärvi Shear Zone. There is a sharp contact between these metasediments and the weathered tuffites that host mineralization.

The mineralization exposed in the trench was broadly similar to the style and intensity of alteration evident in Trench 1-2023. However, geologists have estimated that the original sulphide content may have been lower in the 2024 trench, based in part on the less abundant and intense red and orange colours of the gossan. All these samples were thoroughly oxidized, and this supergene process may locally enrich gold grades relative to fresh rock. More work will be required to ascertain the degree (if any) of supergene enrichment. The same observation has been noted about high-grade gold in oxidized drill core from Mustajärvi.

Trench 2-2024 

The team cut the second trench (Trench 2-2024, see Figure 3) approximately 30 metres southwest of exploration Trench 1-2023. The new trench was also approximately 25 metres southwest of drill hole 22MJ021, which intercepted 15.5m of 13.09 g/t gold, beginning just below the glacial overburden at 11 metres downhole (see news release dated January 18, 2023). This trench was also northwest-southeast oriented, with dimensions of 8 metres long and 3 metres wide. The exposed bedrock was visibly very similar to Trench 1-2024, containing strongly weathered and altered bedrock with varying degrees of foliation and preserved original textures beneath glacial sediments.  

The extent of gold mineralization in Trench 2-2024 was more limited and lower grade than in Trench 1. However, the central part of the trench was consistently gold mineralized (See Figure 3 and Table 1). Geologists cut Channel 1 parallel to the trench and sub-orthogonal to the rock units, and it included 2.0 metres that averaged 2.56 g/t Au (uncut). Channels 2 and 3 were sampled orthogonal to the trench and subparallel to the rock units, and they returned notable results of 1.03 metres at 6.34 g/t Au in Channel 2 and 2.01 metres averaging 1.52 g/t Au in Channel 3. There is also a broader zone of lower grade gold around these intervals.

 Like Trench 1-2024, the rocks in the northern part of Trench 2 were strongly foliated and altered metasedimentary rocks, likely of volcanic origin. The unit contained sericite, iron carbonate alteration, and magnetite, imparting a darker colour, but the northern part of the trench is again very low in gold. Geologists recognized the intermediate tuffite in this trench as well, noting clay alteration and deep oxidation after sulphides as the likely reason for the destruction of original textures. The geological log also noted locally strong albite alteration, silicification, and iron carbonates, but hematite and sericite alteration was generally less than in Trench 1-2024. Geologists reported minor fresh pyrite from this trench, as well as relict disseminated and vein hosted tourmaline associated with the gold mineralization. 

These lower grade intervals of surface gold are significant because they extend the area of surface or shallow gold mineralization considerably to the south and southwest. Trench 2-2024 is well away from known significant near-surface gold at Mustajärvi East. Furthermore, the contact with the strongly foliated iron-carbonated metasedimentary rocks (shown as green on the figures) appears to be shifted well to the south in this trench. This is a good indication of a fault cutting across the Mustajärvi Shear Zone in the vicinity of 

Figure 3. Mustajärvi East Trench 2-2024 Geology and Assays on Air Photo

these trenches, possibly quite close to Trench 1-2023. FireFox has previously noted evidence of such cross-faulting in its detailed magnetics survey. This new evidence of cross faulting is expected to help the Company target more high-grade gold in future drilling and trenching.

Table 2. Grab Samples from Trench 1-2024 – Gold by Screen Fire Assay (Coordinates presented in EPSG 3067)

Methodology & Quality Assurance

The trenching campaign was conducted in an accessible area with no forest cover, minimizing environmental impact. To maintain the safety of the working team the trenches were gradually sloped and slightly extended in width.  The channel sample intervals were measured with a measuring tape, the measurement results were refined with a high-precision RTK-GPS device. Trenches were channel sampled with a diamond saw for the entire exposure in order to extract large consistent samples while cutting primary structures and veins as close to true thickness as possible.  Where the rock integrity was compromised by weathering and alteration, geologists collected the samples with hammer and chisel. 

FireFox team members transported samples to an ALS sample prep lab in Sodankylä. The samples were crushed to -2 mm and pulverized into 1kg pulps, before being shipped to the ALS facility in Rosia Montana, Romania for gold by screen fire assay (AU-SCR24).

ALS Laboratories is a leading international provider of assay and analytical data to the mining industry. All ALS geochemical hub laboratories, including the Irish facility, are accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 for specific analytical procedures. The FireFox QA/QC program consists of insertion of certificated standard material and blanks inserted by FireFox into the analytical batches did not show deviations from recommended values.

SODANKYLÄ, FINLAND – (September 17, 2024) – FireFox Gold Corp. (TSX.V: FFOX) (OTCQB: FFOXF) (“FireFox” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce results from its summer exploration program and plans for additional work before winter. The Company focused its summer work on two of its 100%-controlled projects in northern Finland: Mustajärvi and Jeesiö (Figure 1).

The effort at Mustajärvi is aimed at expanding the footprint of gold mineralization beyond the three zones already identified in drilling and trenching over the last several years. The project has yielded numerous strongly mineralized intervals from drilling, including 13.85m at 28.74 g/t gold from 24m down hole (22MJ006) and 15.5m at 13.09 g/t gold from 11m down hole (22MJ021). The first trench from Mustajärvi East in the summer of 2023 also included outstanding results of 6.87m of 59.12 g/t gold (only 80m from a highway).

Outcrop at Mustajärvi is rare, as most of the property is covered by variable deposits of glacial sediments. However, recent prospecting has discovered a new prospect with outcropping gold mineralization, including rock chip samples of 4.82 and 4.41 g/t gold. The new target is approximately 500 metres away from the nearest drilling. Fill-in base-of-till (BoT) sampling also continues to highlight structures and aid in the interpretation of the deposit. Company geologists are preparing a small trenching campaign to follow-up on last year’s success at Mustajärvi East and increase the exposure around the new prospect. The team also aims to conduct some magnetics and electromagnetic surveys ahead of a planned winter drill program.

Jeesiö is a large project with numerous targets across different settings. Since 2021, FireFox has enjoyed modest success in the south of the property from very limited work. This summer and fall, Company geologists are adding detailed ground magnetics in areas of encouraging rock sampling. The new magnetics data suggest that gold in rock samples (33.6 g/t, 6.39 g/t, 7.79 g/t, 5.04 g/t and numerous others) in the Kataja and Saittavaara areas may be related to NW-SE and NNE-SSW trending D3 and D4 structures that trend under cover to the north and appear to intersect magnetic lows. Magnetic lows are often indicative of alteration and gold mineralization in orogenic gold terranes. Trenching and BoT sampling are planned in the prospective areas. The first drilling in this part of Jeesiö may also come during the winter.

Carl Lofberg, FireFox’s CEO, commented about the new results, “There are two noteworthy things about this program. First, we keep growing the footprint of the gold system at Mustajärvi, and again, the new prospect exhibits strong grade at surface. Secondly, we are seeing the benefits of repeated application of our orogenic gold toolkit: detailed magnetics, iterative structural interpretation, reconnaissance mapping follow-up in exposed areas, and base-of-till sampling in covered settings. Gold in rock samples associated with the right generation of deformation is a key ingredient in discovery in Lapland. We look forward to having the excavator back on site at Mustajärvi and Jeesiö and the drill to follow in the winter.”

The potential grades noted above and discussed below are conceptual in nature; there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in these targets being delineated as a mineral resource.

Mustajärvi Update

The Mustajärvi Project lies along the highway between the cities of Kittilä and Sodankylä, approximately 17 kilometres east of Kittilä. Drilling to date has delineated three different lodes of gold mineralization along more than 1.5 kilometres of strike. Due to its near-surface high-grade nature, the Company has been focusing most recently on the East Target.

Summer field work at the East Target included a short BoT sampling program in untested or sparsely tested areas of deep cover. This work confirmed anomalous gold in several locations, providing at least one drill target for follow-up testing, where a BoT sample collected above the interpreted Mustajärvi Shear Zone yielded 0.47 g/t Au. This anomaly is located 300 metres northwest from the East Target and 80 metres west from drillhole 21MJ005 (Figure 2), which returned 3.79 g/t gold over a 1 metre interval from 15m downhole (see news release dated August 17, 2021), suggesting continuity of this zone to the west. The Company is planning a down-hole geophysical survey to help vector towards continuation of the sulphide minerals associated with the gold mineralization. The FireFox team expects this feature to evolve into a drill-ready target by later in the year.

Figure 2 - Mustajärvi East target area with new BoT sampling.

Elsewhere at the project, the summer reconnaissance mapping program discovered a mineralized outcrop in an area that had seen limited previous field work by FireFox. The area is generally low-lying with swamp and overburden making outcrop scarce. The outcrop is exposed on the slope of a north-northwest trending topographic low that is believed to be a fault. Such faults have been associated with high-grade gold mineralization elsewhere on the property.

The outcrop consists of silica-rich meta-sedimentary rock with semi-massive specularite layers, interpreted as a possible oxide facies banded iron formation (BIF). BIF is well known in the stratigraphic section, and specularite has been associated with gold in drilling at Mustajärvi East. However, this outcrop is more than 500 metres away from any previous drilling. Hand-panning of a small amount of weathered regolith that was collected adjacent to the outcrop yielded numerous tiny gold flakes and some small rock fragments containing visible gold (see Figure 3).

Figure 3 – Photos of BIF and gold grains from regolith.

Rock chip samples were collected from the outcrop and the Company is currently compiling all available data in order to finalize the interpretation and plan a follow-up program this fall if possible.

Approximately three kilometres east of the East Target area, the 318-hectare Pikkulehto property block is undergoing the first ground-magnetics survey to delineate areas for follow-up BoT sampling. The survey is anticipated to continue into the fall.

Jeesiö Project Update

The 100%-controlled Jeesiö Project covers approximately 74.6 km2 along one of the major trans-crustal structures that control 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.

An extensive ground magnetics survey was completed over 16.15 km2, including the Kataja Belt and adjacent areas. This work has provided a more detailed interpretation of the complex structural setting of the area, in particular, in the northern part of the Kataja Belt near the confluence of two major features. The magnetics data reveal intense folding and shearing, suggestive of favourable conditions for focusing hydrothermal

activity and gold deposition (see Figure 4). FireFox has identified multiple gold anomalies from the limited boulder, outcrop and trench sampling in the southeastern part of the target area, however most of these structurally favourable areas are coincident with topographic lows, which are now swamps. Swamps and wetlands cover approximately 45% of the survey area, so mapping and sampling have not yet been possible in that area. In the 2024 fall program, the FireFox team will conduct more trench sampling at the Katajavaara prospect in order to follow-up on and vector from the previously reported high gold grab sample of 33.6 g/t reported in 2023 (see News Release dated January 25, 2023).

Figure 4 - Magnetics Interpretation and Target Areas in Southern Jeesiö Permit.

Additional targets have been identified from the ground magnetics surveys in the southern and southwestern parts of the Jeesiö permit. The team collected rock samples from strongly deformed sericite quartzites, including one sample reported to date that contained 1.1 g/t of gold. These are similar to rocks sampled 500 metres to the southeast at the Saittavaara prospect that yielded gold values of up to 6.28 g/t, as previously reported (see News Release dated February 22, 2024). The new prospects occur in highly folded quartzites northwest from the Saittavaara occurrence, where drilling intercepted a near-surface zone of 4.0m averaging 2.03 g/t Au (see News Release dated August 3rd, 2021). FireFox geologists have collected numerous samples from the area and expect results to be received early in the fourth quarter. Reconnaissance mapping and sampling continues over the area throughout the fall of 2024.

Methodology & Quality Assurance

Samples reported in this news release were collected by FireFox geologists, who transported the samples to the Company’s secure facility in Sodankylä. After documentation and insertion of quality assurance samples, the rock samples were delivered to an ALS sample prep lab in Sodankylä. The samples were then crushed to -2 mm, split and pulverized into 1kg pulps, before being shipped to the ALS facility in Rosia Montana, Romania for gold by fire assay of 50 gm aliquots with AAS finish (method Au-AA24). Other elements, altogether 48, were measured after four-acid digestion by ICP-AES and ICP-MS (method ME-MS61) at the ALS facility located in Loughrea, Ireland.

SODANKYLÄ, FINLAND – (February 28, 2024) – FireFox Gold Corp. (TSX.V: FFOX)(OTCQB: FFOXF)(“FireFox” or the “Company”) is pleased to report results from an additional six holes totalling 1,617.5 metres of drilling at the Company’s 100%-held Mustajärvi Gold Project in Lapland, Finland (Figure 1). The primary focus of the program was four holes (23MJ010-23MJ013) drilled to test for extensions to depth of the near-surface high-grade gold zone at the East Target (Figure 2).

Results confirm that gold mineralization extends deeper to the south, where the system plunges to the southwest and is very likely down dropped by faults south of the surface expression. These holes are the deepest expression of the East Target yet, with strong gold intercepts occurring at more than 250 metres below surface. Even though these holes were significant step outs to the south and southwest, the results demonstrate opportunity for expansion to depth and to the southwest.

Selected Highlights from the latest drilling at the East Target

• Drill hole 23MJ013 intercepted:

  • 13.5m averaging 3.16 g/t Au, from 230.6m depth, including

    • 1.0m at 18.42 g/t Au; and

  • 1.0m at 5.31 g/t Au, from 271m depth; and

  • 6.5m at 1.01 g/t Au, from 281.5m depth.

• Drill hole 23MJ011 intercepted:

  • 3.6m averaging 5.96 g/t Au, from 236.3m depth, including

    • 0.7m at 21.77 g/t Au; and

  • 0.8m at 5.93 g/t Au, from 122.85m depth.

Five of the six drill holes encountered significant gold mineralization, as defined by intercepts above 0.5 g/t Au (see Table 1). The final two holes of the program (23MJ014 and 23MJ015) were collared in, or near, the Central Zone to test a new drilling orientation and a geophysical anomaly.

Carl Lofberg, FireFox’s CEO, commented about the new results, “Our newest drilling has extended the East Target mineralization 100 metres to the southwest and to more than 250 metres vertical depth. In doing so, we have confirmed a southwesterly plunge to the gold zone and picked up deeper gold intercepts across a major fault. These holes have defined a southern band of gold mineralization that needs much more drilling. Our latest results confirm that the gold remains open to southwest and downdip. Our next round of drill targets is already emerging from these new data. We look forward to having the drill back on site in the spring.”

Mustajärvi Project and Drill Program Summary

The Mustajärvi Project lies along the highway between the cities of Kittilä and Sodankylä, approximately 17 kilometres east of Kittilä. The project remains at an early stage as FireFox and predecessor companies have drilled approximately 15,752 metres to date, and drilling has delineated three different lodes of gold mineralization along more than 1.5 kilometres of strike so far. Due to its near-surface high-grade nature, the Company has been focusing most recently on the East Target. In addition to testing for extensions at depth, the most recent holes in the East Target attempted to intersect the modelled contact between the Savukoski Group ultramafic volcanic rocks and Sodankylä Group metasediments. As shown in cross section below (Figure 3), FireFox’s understanding of this important contact and nearby structures has improved considerably.

To date, most of the mineralization identified at Mustajärvi is hosted in metasedimentary rocks that have been intensely altered with albite, sericite, local silicification, sulfidation, iron carbonates, and/or cut by quartz-carbonate veining. High grades of gold are associated with quartz-carbonate-tourmaline-pyrite (QCTP) veins, hydrothermal breccias, or semi-massive to massive pyrite controlled by foliations. Gold is often enriched at or near the contact with mafic or ultramafic rocks. Until now, mafic rocks, either representing intrusive dikes and sills or thin layers within the Savukoski volcanics, have not typically been recognized as hosting significant gold grades. These new holes have encountered significant mineralization in numerous places within the mafic rocks, albeit so far at relatively low grades, such as 6.5m at 1.01 g/t Au in drill hole 23MJ013. The mineralized mafic rocks are usually intensely albitized with disseminated pyrite and cut by quartz-carbonate or QCTP veins.

Table 1.Significant Drill Intercepts in Drillholes 23MJ010 – 23MJ014

(Cut-off Grade 0.5 g/t Au)

The detailed drill pattern along with newly modeled gold shapes at the East Target are shown in Figure 2. Drill hole 23MJ010 was another step out hole southwest from the main high-grade zone, collared between the previously drilled westernmost holes (23MJ005 and 23MJ008). Drill holes 23MJ011 and 23MJ012 were drilled 100 metres east from the same collar in a fan configuration, where both holes plunge to the northwest but at angles of 50° and 70° degrees, respectively. The fourth drill hole, 23MJ013, was collared approximately

Figure 1. Mustajärvi Project showing drilling over ground magnetics and most recent holes labeled.

75 metres southeast of 23MJ011 and 23MJ012, making it the southernmost drill hole so far drilled in the East Target (approximately 100 metres farther southwest from previous drilling). FireFox geologists designed these holes to test the southwest and downdip continuation of the near-surface high-grade mineralization and to determine whether the interpreted sub-vertical faults on the south side of the zone are offsetting mineralization.

Detailed Description of Drill Holes

Hole 23MJ010 passed through variably altered (albite, quartz, and sericite) metasediments cut by repeating and alternating mafic dykes or sills, with several intervals of weak and moderate disseminated pyrite. These pyrite mineralized intervals were usually associated with strong sericitization and QCTP or quartz-pyrite veins, but also with fault breccia zones and metasediment-mafic sill contacts. The hole returned two gold mineralized samples above the cutoff grade of 0.5 g/t Au, 0.85m at 2.46 g/t from 128.0m downhole and 0.9m at 2.29 g/t from 198.5m downhole. These zones were associated with mineralized contacts or veining.

Hole 23MJ011 was designed to undercut and confirm the mineralization recorded in hole 23MJ004, as well as to test for further extensions of mineralization to depth. The hole also tested magnetic anomalies near the interpreted contact between the Savukoski Group ultramafic volcanic rocks and the Sodankylä Group metasedimentary rocks. The important contact was confirmed at 94.8m with traces of disseminated pyrite

Figure 2 . Plan view of Mustajärvi East drilling with modeled gold shapes projected to surface.

and weak gold enrichment directly beneath the contact. The intercepted contact supports the previously interpreted and modeled Savukoski Group-Sodankylä Group contact as dipping steeply to the southeast.

The first significant gold-mineralized interval in 23MJ011 returned 0.8m at 5.93 g/t Au from 122.85m depth, and it was hosted in a quartz vein with semi-massive clots of pyrite. A second significant mineralized interval at 236.3m depth returned 3.6m of 5.96 g/t Au, including 0.7m of 21.77 g/t Au. This mineralization was hosted in a fault breccia zone containing remnants of QCTP veins (Figure 4). This interval included grains of fine visible gold and fluorite, which is often associated with open space in higher grade zones at Mustajärvi. The gold mineralized fault breccia in this hole may relate to previous intercepts in drill holes 23MJ004 and 23MJ003 (see Company news release dated July 18, 2023), suggesting an encouraging new deeper target in this area of the property.

Figure 3. SW facing cross-section showing the drill hole fence 23MJ013-23MJ011 and the interpreted mineralization along the section plan A-A’.

Hole 23MJ012 was aimed more steeply from the same drill pad as 23MJ011 to test depth extents of the system and for evaluating the steeply dipping faults interpreted in the area. The hole pierced the Savukoski - Sodankylä contact as expected, at 125.6 metres depth. The contact was marked by a heavily sheared mafic sill, and intensely altered and faulted metasediments just below that with abundant pyrite and 1.0m of 7.6 g/t Au.

Once passing through the key contact, this hole can be characterized as containing numerous intervals of low-level gold mineralization but lacking the thicker or higher-grade zones seen above it (See Figure 3). In total, there are 37 sample intervals with gold grades greater than 0.1 g/t, but most do not exceed the cutoff for significance (0.5 g/t). There are intervals of albitized and pyritic metasediments with scattered quartz-carbonate, tourmaline, and QCTP veins. These intervals of low-grade gold may represent splays or structural offsets to the stronger gold zones observed at higher levels.

Drill hole 23MJ013 was collared farther south so that it could be aimed deeper towards a deeper part of the mineralized contact zone that was delineated earlier in 2022 and 2023. The contact was intersected at 230.6 metres, below which the metasedimentary rocks were highly albitized, sulphidized, and variably silicified over approximately 13.0 metres. That interval included abundant pyrite in both replacement and vein styles, as well as quartz, sulphide, and tourmaline veins and hydrothermal breccias. This interval carried strong gold mineralization over 13.5m averaging 3.16 g/t between 230.6 and 244.1m downhole, including 2.7m of 11.07 g/t. The higher-grade intervals are usually associated with narrow semi-massive to massive pyrite. While most of the gold at this mineralized contact is hosted in metasediments, there are also thin mafic dikes or sills that are mineralized with gold and pyrite. This zone also includes anomalous bismuth, molybdenum, and tellurium, although copper, lead, and zinc are at background concentrations.

Figure 4. Fault breccia zone in 23MJ011 with 3.6m of 5.96 g/t Au from 236.3m downhole. Visible gold flakes were observed from two intervals grading 21.77 g/t Au and 4.43 g/t Au.

The deeper sections of hole 23MJ013 contained thicker mafic sills, often veined (quartz carbonate and QCTP veins) and flooded with albite and/or silica. These veins and alteration haloes within the mafic sills locally contain disseminated pyrite and gold. The presence of significant pyrite and anomalous gold in the mafic intrusive rocks at Mustajärvi is uncommon, but several intervals in this hole contained significant gold: 1.0m at 5.31 g/t from 271m depth, 1.0m at 2.19 g/t from 275.0m, and 6.5m that averaged 1.01 g/t from 281.5m. The wider interval was hosted in a strongly albite-altered mafic sill crosscut by quartz-carbonate-tourmaline veins surrounded by disseminated pyrite.

Most of the gold mineralization at Mustajärvi is associated with abundant pyrite and anomalous bismuth, molybdenum, selenium, and tellurium, whereas silver, arsenic, antimony, copper, and other base metals are at (or near) background levels. In contract, it may be noteworthy that this deeper gold mineralization in the mafic (gabbroic) sills and dikes has a relatively low abundance of pyrite, and only shows slightly anomalous bismuth, molybdenum, selenium, and tellurium.

After completing drill hole 23MJ013 the drill rig moved to the Central Zone (approximately 1.5 kilometres to the west), where drill hole 23MJ014 was collared approximately 100 meters north from previous drill hole 22MJ016. This hole was aimed in a different direction (NE) to test for the presence of crosscutting structures, perpendicular to the northeast-striking Mustajärvi Shear Zone (MSZ). All previous drill holes at this target were drilled perpendicular to the MSZ, but NE-directed holes at the East Target encountered important crosscutting mineralization. Drill hole 23MJ014 intercepted primarily moderately albitized intermediate tuffites and mafic tuffs with evidence of faulting.

Intervals of more intense alteration and brecciation that are cut by quartz-pyrite and QCTP veins are locally mineralized with gold over narrow widths. One of these zones at 40.5-43.0m depth returned 2.5m averaging 0.86 g/t Au. A number of other fault zones with veining contained 0.5 to 1.56 g/t gold over narrow widths.

The final drill hole, 23MJ015, was collared almost 400 metres east from hole 23MJ014, targeting an unusual magnetic low detected in the ground magnetics surveys. The hole was drilled entirely within the Savukoski Group ultramafic rocks with a few thin fault zones and no significant gold assays.

Methodology & Quality Assurance

The core was transported from the rig to the Company´s core storage facility in Sodankylä, where FireFox’s exploration team conducted the geological and geotechnical logging and selected the assay intervals. Assay intervals were generally 1 metre but in some circumstances were modified according to lithological boundaries and other factors. FireFox geologists maintained chain of custody and sampling procedures according to best industry practice and with due attention to quality assurance and quality control, including sampling field duplicates and insertion of certified standard and blank samples.

FireFox team members transported the samples to an ALS sample prep lab in Sodankylä. The samples were sawed then crushed to -2 mm, split and pulverized into 1kg pulps, before being shipped to the ALS facility in Rosia Montana, Romania for gold by fire assay of 50 gm aliquots with AAS finish (method Au-AA24). All samples exceeding 10.0 g/t Au were re-assayed in triplicate by fire assay of 50 gm aliquots with a gravimetric finish (method Au-GRA22). Other elements, altogether 48, were measured after four-acid digestion by ICP-AES and ICP-MS (method ME-MS61) at the ALS facility located in Loughrea, Ireland.

ALS Laboratories is a leading international provider of assay and analytical data to the mining industry. All ALS geochemical hub laboratories, including the Irish facility, are accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 for specific analytical procedures. The Firefox QA/QC program consists of insertion of certificated standard material and blanks inserted by Firefox into the analytical batches did not show deviations from recommended values.

SODANKYLÄ, FINLAND – (February 22, 2024) – FireFox Gold Corp. (TSX.V: 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.

During the summer and fall of 2023 the Company performed detailed bedrock and boulder mapping and sampling at the Saittavaara prospect in an attempt to extend the Kataja Belt farther west (see Figure 1). The mapping identified new areas of outcrop where strongly deformed and locally weathered sericitic quartzite often contains oxidized pyrite and is sometimes cut by quartz veining. The new occurrence is situated approximately 400 metres west of previously reported drill holes that encountered near-surface gold mineralization (see Company news release dated August 3, 2021). In total, the team collected 28 samples from the Saittavaara area of which 13 samples exceeded 0.1 g/t and five exceeded 1.5 g/t gold. The highest-grade samples contained 6.28 g/t, 5.04 g/t, and 4.07 g/t gold, respectively.

Figure 1. Kataja Belt Gold Targets (Jeesiö Project) near Sodankylä, Finland

In addition to bedrock and boulder mapping, FireFox extended the Katajavaara area ground magnetic survey towards the north, focusing on the KJ Hill prospect, where highly anomalous gold values were previously detected during trenching and bedrock sampling (see Company news release dated January 25, 2023).

The FireFox technical team has now delineated four clusters of gold anomalies with very limited drilling along a corridor of approximately four kilometres, stretching from KJ Hill in the north to the new anomalies in the southwest (termed the Kataja Belt). These gold anomalies are hosted in a range of rock types from metasediments to gabbros and metavolcanics. The rocks are strongly deformed due to intense folding and faulting in the area, and the new magnetic data is expected to improve understanding of the structural and lithological settings that are likely to host the gold along the Kataja Belt.

New Exploration Permits

The Finnish Safety and Chemicals Agency (TUKES) has granted three new exploration permits called Pikkulehto, Nunara and Palvasenvuoma, which together cover nearly 22km² of Finland’s Central Lapland Greenstone Belt (CLGB). In Finland, the exploration permit allows for mechanized exploration including base of till sampling and drilling (Figure 2).

The Pikkulehto exploration permit area (ML2022:0001-01) is located less than 4 km east of the main Mustajärvi permit and covers roughly 3.2 km². It will be managed together with the Mustajärvi project. The new permit is situated adjacent to a major geological structure, the Venejoki shear zone, and close to the interpreted contact between the Sodankylä and Savukoski Group rocks. Based on the current understanding, the bedrock geology includes quartz-rich metasedimentary rocks, gabbros and mafic volcanic rocks, while graphitic schists and cherts of the Savukoski Group lie less than one kilometer to the NW from the permit. Two historic gold occurrences, Pikku-Mustavaara and Tuongankuusikko, are located within approximately a 1 km radius from the permit boundaries. The Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) and Outokumpu conducted limited exploration within the permit area, including only four drill holes with depths less than 20 metres, and minimal surface sampling (only 18 till samples). Under the previous exploration permit application, the Company conducted limited bedrock and boulder mapping within the Pikkulehto area, yielding one anomalous gold value with of 0.427 g/t from a boulder that was intensively albitized and enriched in pyrite.

The Nunara exploration permit (ML2021:0002-01) covers an area of almost 9 km² and is situated almost ten kilometers north of the Mustajärvi Project. The permit lies very near the interpreted trace of the Sirkka Shear Zone, which roughly tracks along the northern permit boundary of Nunara. Geologically, the area is interpreted as the contact zone between the Kittilä Suite mafic volcanic rocks and Savukoski Group ultramafic volcanic rocks, while isolated outcrops of the younger Kumpu Group quartzites pop out in the area as topographic highs. There are several historic gold occurrences nearby, the closest being Kittilän Palovaara (less than 4 kilometers to the west) and Outapää (3 kilometers to the east). The Company is not aware of any previous drilling within the permit area, and only minor till sampling was previously reported by the GTK (a few tens of samples along one north-south trending line).

The third newly granted exploration permit covers a portion of the Company’s Manto Project. Palvasenvuoma (ML2022:0085-01) is located roughly 10 kilometers southwest of the Kittilä gold mine (operated by Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd.) and covers an area of 9.5 km². According to current understanding the

Figure 2. FireFox Northern CLGB Properties with New Exploration Permits Outlined in Black

bedrock consists of Kittilä Suite mafic volcanic rocks and mafic graphitic tuffs, with similarities to the geology of the Kittilä gold mine. GTK completed an exploration campaign in the area between 2002 and 2005. This included a base of till (BOT) sampling program over approximately 5km², including 546 samples in a 100-metre spaced grid. The GTK reported that one of the till samples assayed 11 g/t Au. In addition to BOT sampling, GTK also performed some geophysical surveys and bedrock drilling, including 32 shallow drill holes. The drilling campaign totaled 1,570.6 metres where the deepest drill holes reached 68 metres. The geophysical surveys identified a possible NNE-SSW-trending shear zone, which resembles the Kiistala Shear Zone (host to the Kittilä Mine).

Methodology & Quality Assurance

Rock chip samples reported in this news release were collected by FireFox geologists, who transported the samples to the Company’s secure facility in Sodankylä. After documentation and insertion of quality assurance samples, the rock samples were delivered to an ALS sample prep lab in Sodankylä. The samples were then crushed to -2 mm, split and pulverized into 1kg pulps, before being shipped to the ALS facility in Rosia Montana, Romania for gold by fire assay of 50 gm aliquots with AAS finish (method Au-AA24). Other elements, altogether 48, were measured after four-acid digestion by ICP-AES and ICP-MS (method ME-MS61) at the ALS facility located in Loughrea, Ireland.

Vancouver, British Columbia – December 20, 2023 – FireFox Gold Corp. (TSX.V: FFOX; OTCQB: FFOXF) (“FireFox” or the “Company”) today announced that it closed a non-brokered private placement of 22,507,840 units of the Company (“Units”) at a purchase price of $0.075 per Unit, for total gross proceeds of $1,688,088 (the “Private Placement”). Concurrent with the Private Placement, FireFox, together with its wholly-owned subsidiary FireFox Gold Oy, entered into an earn-in agreement (the “Earn-in Agreement”), pursuant to which FireFox Gold Oy granted a subsidiary of Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (“Agnico”) the right to earn an interest in the Kolho properties located in northern Finland (the “Kolho Property”).

Patrick Highsmith, Chairman of FireFox commented on the transactions, “We are excited to form this alliance with Agnico Eagle. Not only does the strategic investment recognize the potential of our more advanced projects, such as Mustajärvi, but the option agreement also demonstrates the geological potential of our Kolho Property. We are proud to add Agnico Eagle to our roster of strong shareholders as the strategic backbone for our future growth through discovery.”

Carl Löfberg, CEO of FireFox added, “Our company was the first junior gold explorer built around a Finland-based CEO and Finland-based exploration management. Now we are part of a growing community of local and international mining professionals in Finland, and we find ourselves working closely with Europe’s largest gold miner. We look forward to working with the Agnico Eagle team at the Kolho Property.”

Private Placement

Pursuant to the Private Placement, the Company issued 19,010,000 Units to Agnico at a purchase price of $0.075 per Unit, for gross proceeds of $1,425,750. Each Unit is comprised of one common share of the Company (“Common Share”) and one common share purchase warrant (“Warrant”), with each Warrant being exercisable to acquire one Common Share (a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of $0.10 per Warrant Share for a term of five years following the closing of the Private Placement, subject to adjustment and an acceleration of the expiry date upon the occurrence of certain events. The proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for drilling and exploration expenditures on FireFox’s Mustajärvi project, other exploration investment on the Company’s projects in Lapland, and general working capital.

On closing of the Private Placement, Agnico will own 19,010,000 Common Shares and 19,010,000 Warrants, representing approximately 10.9% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis and 19.6% of the Common Shares on a partially-diluted basis.

In connection with the Private Placement, FireFox entered into an investor rights agreement with Agnico (the “Investor Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, Agnico is entitled to certain rights, provided Agnico maintains certain ownership thresholds in FireFox, including: (i) the right to participate in equity financings and top-up its holdings in relation to dilutive issuances in order to maintain its pro rata ownership interest in FireFox at the time of such financing or acquire up to a 19.99% ownership interest, on a partially diluted basis, in FireFox; and (ii) the right to nominate one person to the board of directors of FireFox. Agnico has not elected to exercise this right as of the closing of the Private Placement.

Crescat Portfolio Management LLC (“Crescat”) exercised its participation right and subscribed for 3,497,840 Units on the same terms as Agnico for additional gross proceeds of $262,388. Upon closing, Crescat will own 31,188,969 Common Shares and 8,050,678 Warrants, representing approximately 17.8% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis and 21.5% of the Common Shares on a partially-diluted basis. Crescat has agreed to restrict the exercise of any Warrants if to do so would result in Crescat owning or controlling 20% or more of the then issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company (calculated on a non-diluted basis), provided that Crescat may exercise all of its Warrants in certain circumstances (including for the purpose of participating in a take over bid, arrangement, amalgamation or similar transaction, or change in control of the Company), subject to compliance with applicable securities laws including obtaining prior requisite disinterested shareholder and TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) approvals.

The participation of Crescat in the Private Placement constitutes a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61- 101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”) and TSXV Policy 5.9 -- Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. In connection with his related party transaction, the Company is relying on the formal valuation and minority approval exemptions of 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, respectively, as the fair market value of the portion of the Private Placement subscribed for by Crescat does not exceed 25 percent of the Company’s market capitalization.

The Common Shares and Warrants issued in connection with the Private Placement and the Warrant Shares underlying the Warrants are subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus one day from the date of completion of the Private Placement, in accordance with applicable securities legislation.

Option Agreement

The Kolho Property is a group of exploration permit applications and one exploration permit (Nuttio) that occupies a prospective structural corridor northeast of Rupert Resources’ Ikkari discovery and FireFox’s Sarvi property (see Figure 1 below). The Kolho Property covers more than 120 km², and FireFox has completed detailed airborne magnetic surveys and limited reconnaissance mapping and sampling in the area.

Pursuant to the terms of the Earn-in Agreement, FireFox granted Agnico an exclusive right to earn a 51% interest in the Kolho Property by incurring exploration expenditures totaling US$5,000,000 before the fifth anniversary of entering into the Earn-in Agreement (the “Earn-in Grant Date”), of which US$2,000,000 will be a committed amount required to be spent on or prior to the third anniversary of the date that certain permits are granted in respect of the Kolho Property.

Upon Agnico earning a 51% interest in the Kolho Property, Agnico and FireFox will enter into a joint venture agreement (the “JV Agreement”), pursuant to which, Agnico will become the operator of the venture and be entitled to a 5% management fee. Under the JV Agreement, Agnico will be granted the right to acquire an additional 24% interest in the Kolho Property by incurring additional exploration expenditures totaling US$7,500,000 before the eighth anniversary of the Earn-in Grant Date. A portion of the Kolho Property is subject to an existing 1.5% net smelter return royalty.

Neither the Earn-in Agreement nor the Private Placement affect any of FireFox’s other mineral rights in Lapland. The Company maintains 100% control of its Mustajärvi Project, as well as the Jeesiö and Sarvi properties where earlier stage exploration targets are being advanced.

SODANKYLÄ, FINLAND – (July 27, 2023) – 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 g/t Au on the basis of uncut results from 1-kilogram screen fire assays (Figure 3 and Table 3).

Drill hole 23MJ005 hit strong mineralization in an 80-metre step-out to the southwest from the previously drilled western-most high-grade hole. Results include:

• 4.20m averaging 5.74 g/t Au from 60.8 metres down hole, and

• 7.05m average 4.77 g/t Au from 68.0 metres down hole,

  • including 1.0 metre at 20.8 g/t Au.

Drill hole 23MJ008 was a further 135-metre step-out to the southwest, for a total of approximately 215 metres step-out from the previous high-grade area. The hole included multiple intervals of significant gold from near surface to 180 metres depth, confirming the potential for expansion of the target in this direction. Results include:

• 2.0 m averaging 4.75 g/t Au from 29.0 metres down hole;

  • including 0.8 m at 11.1 g/t Au; and

• 7.0 m averaging 1.77 g/t Au from 112.0 metres down hole; and

• 1.0 m at 0.61 g/t Au from 180 metres down hole.

Drilled in the opposite orientation, drill hole 23MJ009 confirmed the continuity of the southwestern step-out between 23MJ005 and the historic high-grade holes, with multiple gold intervals between 75 and 156 metres down hole. Highlights of the results include:

• 5.55 m averaging at 4.45 g/t Au from 75.55 metres down hole;

Carl Lofberg, FireFox’s CEO, commented about the new results, “We are very pleased with these exciting step-out drill holes from the high-grade East Target. New mineralization amid thick zones of alteration located more than 200 metres southwest from previous drilling is a significant indication of the expansion potential of Mustajärvi. The East Target remains open to the south, southwest, and northeast. It is also exciting that our first attempt to trench into the system from surface has revealed such high grades beneath only a few metres of glacial overburden. This trenching exercise improves 

our understanding of the shallow gold shape, its orientation, and the controls on bonanza grade. We are very much looking forward to bringing the drill back to Mustajärvi in August.”

Two trenches were excavated through the glacial overburden into weathered bedrock. The purposes of the test trenching were to evaluate conditions for possible additional trenching, gather structural information about foliation, veining, and faulting, and to sample the newly exposed bedrock. The team collected diamond saw channel samples from both trenches. Trench 1 included approximately 10.0m of contiguous gold mineralization, including individual uncut values of 256 g/t Au, 72.5 g/t Au, 52.8 g/t Au, and 45.02 g/t Au (see Figure 3 and Table 3 for additional details). During the sampling, geologists reported the presence of considerable coarse gold, so all samples were analysed by screen fire assay. Trench 2, located north of the main gold system, contained much lower gold grades, but it provided useful structural measurements and data points for the geological model.

Discussion of Drill Results

The Mustajärvi Project lies along the highway between the cities of Kittilä and Sodankylä, approximately 17 kilometres east of Kittilä. The project remains at an early stage as FireFox and predecessor companies have drilled approximately 14,158 metres to date, and drilling has delineated three different lodes of gold mineralization along more than 1.5 kilometres of strike so far. Due to its near-surface high-grade nature, the Company has been focusing most recently on the East Target. Figure 1 shows the most recent drill holes at the East Target in relation to previous drilling and ground magnetics data.

As reported in the June 14, 2023 news release, the spring 2023 drilling program at Mustajärvi was focused on filling some gaps in the drilling and testing for extensions to the south, west, and southwest. These first four holes from that program have improved confidence in the high-grade core of the East Target and established control of an important fault on the south side of the target, which has been confirmed as mineralized (see FireFox news release dated July 18, 2023).

Drill hole 23MJ005 was designed to test the low magnetic - high chargeability corridor interpreted as trending southwest from the East Target. The drill hole was collared approximately 80 metres southwest from the western limits of the previously defined high-grade mineralization at the East Target, as defined by drill hole 22MJ022 and reported in the FireFox news release dated January 18, 2023. Hole 23MJ005 was drilled at a 325° azimuth with a plunge of 60° to intersect the target corridor at a favorable angle.

The hole entered altered metasediments starting below glacial sediments at a depth of 8.7 metres, and it passed through thin sections of mafic volcanics and gabbro. The main mineralized zone was intersected within an altered sequence of intermediate tuffites, sometimes interbedded with less altered mafic volcanic rocks, from 60.80 to 75.05 metres. This interval included two separate gold mineralized intervals, 4.20m of 5.74 g/t and 7.05m of 4.77 g/t, including several higher-grade intervals and a maximum assay of 20.77g/t Au, as shown in Table 1.

The mineralized interval is pervasively albitized and silicified with weaker development of sericite; and it exhibits a well-developed foliation that is nearly perpendicular to the core axis. The richest gold zones are cut by quartz-carbonate± tourmaline+pyrite veins (QCTP) that are often accompanied by patchy, semi-massive and coarse-grained pyrite. The mineralized veins are at variable angles to the foliation and the core axis but are often nearly parallel to the core axis over short intervals. Since

Figure 1 - Mustajärvi Location Map with Recent Drilling over Ground Magnetics

this drill hole is well away from any previous drilling it is difficult to confirm the orientation of the controlling structure in this area, but it appears to conform with the NE-SW striking major fault zone.

Moderate to strong alteration continues to 115 metres depth, including veins, breccias, and noteworthy gangue minerals. The mineral molybdenite is reported at 92 metres depth associated with quartz veining and an anomalous gold assay of 0.234 g/t. Multielement assays, including molybdenum, are pending.

This drill hole confirms the continuation of the shallow high-grade gold mineralization at Mustajärvi East for at least 80 metres. The strong gold intercepts and intense alteration fall directly in the geophysical target corridor predicted by the IP and magnetics survey. There is lots of room to expand these intercepts to the southeast and southwest along the projected structures that mark the Mustajärvi fault zone.

Drill holes 23MJ006 and 23MJ007 were designed to test for a northern extension of the structural jog and the gold mineralized R' veins intersected by holes 22MJ023 and 22MJ024 during the 2022 drilling campaign (see FireFox news releases dated January 18, 2023 and February 15, 2023). Drill hole 23MJ006 collapsed at a depth of 32 metres down hole and was therefore twinned by hole 23MJ007, collared 2 metres from the original site. The completed hole intersected mafic volcanic rocks (and dykes?) starting beneath the glacial sediments at 5.75 metres depth and passing into dominantly metasedimentary lithologies comprised of intermediate tuffites (with pyrite mineralized veins) and lesser mafic volcanic rocks (usually barren) at approximately 40 metres depth.

The rock is generally less altered this far north from the main system, but there remains widespread albite alteration with lesser silica and pyrite in the tuffites. The dominant foliation in the hole is nearly perpendicular to the core axis, while veins are evident both perpendicular and parallel to core axis. The hole intercepted 3.7 metres averaging 3.17 g/t Au from 52.0 metres depth, including 0.7 m at 4.8 g/t Au. The gold appears to be correlated with patchy and coarse-grained pyrite hosted in QCTP veins that are dominantly parallel to foliation. The host rock in this interval is strongly albitized, intensely brittle fractured intermediate tuffites. At greater depths in the hole, the gold seems to be associated with narrow veins at multiple orientations, but the alteration continues to be extensive.

Drill hole 23MJ008 was planned after the initial logging of hole 23MJ005, including the visual observation of pyrite mineralization. This drill hole was a major step-out of over 215 metres to the southwest within the “low magnetic - high chargeability corridor” from the high-grade gold zone at the East target, a further 135 metres southwest from the collar of 23MJ005. The hole also tested another interpreted structural jog along the Mustajärvi Fault Zone. Drill hole 23MJ008 was successful at intercepting multiple gold-mineralized QCTP veins, as well as clear evidence of the continuation of the alteration system into an untested area between the Northeast Target and the East Target (See Figure 2 – Long Section). The hole yielded 11 samples mineralized above the cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t gold within a very broad untested structural corridor.

Figure 2 – Long Section of Mustajärvi Fault Zone and Drill Indicated Gold Lodes

Once again, the upper portion of the hole (to approximately 26m downhole) is dominated by mafic intrusive rocks (gabbro). The drill cut 7.75 metres of glacial overburden before passing into the strongly altered and sheared mafic intrusive rocks. At 25.9 metres down hole, the gabbro gives way to pervasively albitized intermediate tuffite metasediments, which exhibit variably abundant QCTP veining. The dominant foliation is perpendicular to the core axis, but its fabric is often destroyed by albite-silica-sericite alteration. Disseminated pyrite is widespread in the hole, but clots and blebs also occur in veins (at a variety of angles to core axis) and replacing (?) foliation.

The first mineralized interval was encountered just below the contact with the metasediments at a depth of 29.0 metres down-hole, an interval of 2.0m averaging 4.75 g/t Au. The mineralization is 

hosted by a series of QCTP vein with patchy pyrite. Another narrow, mineralized zone occurs at 82.5m down hole depth, returning 1.5 metres averaging 3.20 g/t Au. This gold zone is hosted in veins and vein breccias within highly fractured albitized and silicified intermediate tuffites. The pyrite occurs both as veins, stringers along foliation, and disseminations.

The main mineralized zone was intersected from a depth of 112.0 metres with 1.77 g/t Au over 7.0 metres, including 4.0 m averaging 2.79 g/t Au and one assay interval of 0.7 m at 11.67 g/t Au. Pyrite is associated with the gold, as is typical at Mustajärvi, occurring as clumps of coarse-grained pyrite and vein-controlled pyrite. This mineralized interval occurs just below a 22m thick interval of moderately altered gabbro. Mineralization within the gabbroic rocks is comprised of disseminated and quartz-carbonate vein hosted pyrite.

The intermediate tuffites are commonly crosscut by altered gabbroic dykes or sills. Molybdenite mineralization hosted in altered gabbro was observed at approximately 142 metres down hole. Molybdenite appears on fracture surfaces and as stringers related to quartz-carbonate veining. This type of molybdenite mineralization has not been observed at the Mustajärvi Project before. The molybdenite mineralization has been identified visually by the geologists on-site and has been routinely cross-checked using a hand-held pXRF device. Multielement assays, including molybdenum, are pending.

Drill hole 23MJ009 was designed to fill in between the East Target and the newly discovered mineralization in 23MJ005. It was collared approximately 100 metres towards NE from 23MJ005 and drilled with an azimuth of 145°, effectively in the opposite direction.

The hole initially hit altered intermediate tuffites, which were interrupted by altered mafic intrusive rocks of gabbroic composition, at approximately 21 metres down hole. Contact into the strongly altered intermediate tuffite that hosts mineralization was made at a depth of 52.8 metres down hole. The gabbros in this drill hole are variably but sometimes strongly altered and brecciated with disseminated and vein hosted pyrite and chalcopyrite mineralization.

Foliation is less evident in this hole than some, as it is often at a lower angle to the core axis, but folding is evident in the metasediments. Intense alteration commences below the gabbro where the tuffites are albitized and silicified over broad intervals, which often host QCTP veins and disseminated sulphides. The veins are chaotic in orientation and often brecciated, particularly when well mineralized.

The main mineralized zone was intersected starting from 75.55 metres depth and returned 5.55 metres averaging 4.45 g/t Au, including 1.1m at 15.27 g/t Au. This was followed by two narrow vein-controlled gold intervals of lower grade over the next few metres. This interval is comprised of patchy and semi-massive pyrite mineralization in strongly altered tuffites as well as QCTP veins. The alteration continues deeper in the hole, often fracture controlled and diminishing somewhat with depth, but gold-bearing QCTP veins reoccur between 146 and 158 metres depth.

Notes: Drilling is believed to be perpendicular to the dip of the mineralization, however true widths are not yet known and will be confirmed with additional drilling and geologic modelling. Au grades are uncapped.

Test Trench Program Details

FireFox also completed two test trenches at the East Target to evaluate conditions for possible additional trenching, gather structural information about foliation, veining, and faulting, and to sample the surface exposure of the system. In order to minimize cost and environmental impact, the test was conducted in an easily accessible area with no forest cover. The trenches were excavated close to the location of the surface projection of shallow gold intersections from drill holes 23MJ001, 23MJ004 and 22MJ022 (see Figure 3).

Trench 1

Trench 1 was oriented NW-SE and exposed strongly weathered and altered bedrock below glacial sediments of varying depths, from 6.0m at the northern end to 7.5m at the southern end of the trench.

Summarizing the geology from north to south, the first 4.5 metres of the excavation exposed weathered intermediate tuffites with minor interbedded mafic volcanics. From 4.5 metres to the end of trench at 13 metres, the exposed bedrock is intensely altered and weathered intermediate tuffites, in which original textures are largely destroyed as it has been altered and weathered to orange-red clay. There are isolated relict quartz-tourmaline veins and veinlets, as well as cubic casts of abundant iron oxide after pyrite. Much of the red and orange colour is likely the result of oxidation of large amounts of pyrite, so the exposure may be called a gossan in places.

Figure 3. Mustajärvi East Target Exploration Trench Locations and Trench 1 Details

Channel sampling of Trench 1 returned high-grade mineralization in multiple contiguous samples as shown in Table 3, including 6.87 metres that averaged 59.12 g/t Au on an uncut basis. Individual bonanza grade samples in the interval include: 0.84m at 256 g/t Au, 0.77m at 72.5 g/t Au, 1.02m at 52.8 g/t, and 1.15m at 45.02 g/t Au. The high-grade gold mineralization is hosted in supergene clay material (altered and weathered bedrock) with relicts of quartz-tourmaline veins and minor veinlets. Locally, tourmaline comprises massive clots up to 20 cm in size. In addition, two chip samples were collected outside of the channel sampling, returning 25.9 g/t Au and 57.5 g/t Au.

The mineralization exposed in the trenches was thoroughly oxidized, and this supergene process may locally enrich gold grades relative to fresh rock. More work will be required to ascertain the degree (if any) of supergene enrichment. The same observation has been noted about high-grade gold in oxidized drill core from Mustajärvi.

FireFox geologists also collected some large samples for heavy mineral and gold separation work.

Trench 2

Due to the texture-destructive weathering encountered in Trench 1, a second trench was added to the program in search of fresher bedrock from which measurements could be taken on foliation, veins, and other structures. Based in part on mapping and observations of overburden thickness, Trench 2 was located approximately 20 metres to the northwest of Trench 1.

Trench 2 successfully exposed pristine bedrock with well-preserved structural features and common quartz-tourmaline-pyrite veinlets. Most of exposed veinlets were aligned either NE-SW (close to EW) or NW-SE. The exposed bedrock was composed primarily of weathered tuffites and other metasediments with lesser interbedded mafic volcanics.

While gold was highly anomalous in much of Trench 2, only one of the channel samples exceeded 0.5 g/t Au, that sample contained 2.92 g/t Au over 1.56m (Table 3). In addition, the team collected six rock chip samples from the trench, apart from the channel sampling, one of which contained 15 g/t Au.

Table 3. Channel Samples collected from the Trenches 1 and 2 – Gold by Screen Fire Assay

Mustajärvi East in Three Dimensions

The new trenching information fits well with the evolving geological model and three-dimensional understanding of the East Target. There is a core zone of very high-grade gold that comes to surface and is elongated in NE-SW direction. This shape has an apparently gentle dip to the southwest. It has been tested with drilling in multiple directions because it hosts both replacement-style gold-pyrite mineralization controlled by foliation and high-angle QCTP veins at various orientations. Figure 4 is a preliminary cross section, oriented NW-SE and looking to the southwest.

Figure 4 - Preliminary Cross Section through East Target Looking SW (23MJ001 and 002).

There appear to be brittle faults that cut the Mustajärvi East deposit, and these are interpreted to be late (post-mineral). One significant fault strikes northeasterly and may cut off the surface deposit and downdrop part of the mineralization to the south. The geometry remains complex, but intercepts in holes 22MJ025 and 23MJ003 appear to have cut high grades that suggest more mineralization at depth in that direction. This relationship can be seen in multiple cross sections, but it is well expressed in Figure 5, another NW-SE preliminary cross section that includes 22MJ025 and 23MJ003.

Methodology & Quality Assurance

Drill core was transported from the rig to the Company´s core storage facility in Sodankylä, where FireFox’s exploration team conducted the geological and geotechnical logging and selected the assay intervals. Assay intervals were generally 1 metre but in some circumstances were modified according to lithological boundaries and other factors. FireFox geologists maintained chain of custody and sampling procedures according to best industry practice and with due attention to quality assurance and quality control, including sampling field duplicates and insertion of certified standard and blank samples.

FireFox team members transported drill core samples to an ALS sample prep lab in Sodankylä. The samples were sawed then crushed to -2 mm, split and pulverized into 1kg pulps, before being shipped to the ALS facility in Rosia Montana, Romania for gold by fire assay of 50 gm aliquots with AAS finish (method Au-AA24). All samples exceeding 10.0 g/t Au were re-assayed in triplicate by fire assay of 50 gm aliquots with a gravimetric finish (method Au-GRA22).

Trenches were channel sampled with a diamond saw for the entire exposure in order to extract large consistent samples while cutting primary structures and veins as close to true thickness as possible. Where the rock integrity was compromised by weathering and alteration, geologists collected the samples with hammer and chisel. FireFox team members transported samples to an ALS sample prep lab in Sodankylä. The samples were crushed to -2 mm and pulverized into 1kg pulps, before being shipped to the ALS facility in Rosia Montana, Romania for gold by screen fire assay (AU-SCR24).

SODANKYLÄ, FINLAND – (July 18, 2023) – FireFox Gold Corp. (TSX.V: 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 g/t 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.” 

Firefox intends to release updated long and cross sections later in July, along with results from the final four drill holes in the spring 2023 drill program.

Discussion of Drill Results

The Mustajärvi Project lies along the highway between the cities of Kittilä and Sodankylä, approximately 17 kilometres east of Kittilä. The project remains at an early stage. FireFox and predecessor companies have drilled approximately 14,158 metres, and drilling has delineated three different lodes of gold mineralization along more than 1.5 kilometres of strike so far. Due to its near-surface high-grade nature, the Company has been focusing most recently on the East Target. Figure 1 shows the surface traces of the most recent drill holes and mineralization at the East Target in relation to those from previous drilling and ground magnetics data.

As reported in the June 14, 2023 news release, the spring 2023 drilling program at Mustajärvi was focused on filling some gaps in the drilling and testing for extensions to the south, west, and southwest.  These first four holes from the program have improved confidence in the high-grade core of the East Target and established control of an important fault on the south side of the deposit, which has been confirmed as mineralized.  

Figure 1 - Mustajärvi Location Map with Recent Drilling over Ground Magnetics

Drill holes 23MJ001 and 23MJ002 were drilled along a northwest-southeast fence in an opposing scissors fashion. The first hole was drilled at an azimuth of 320°, while the second drillhole was directed at 140°.  Their drillhole traces parallel each other, approximately 15 metres apart. The holes were designed to test the western side of the shallow high-grade replacement style mineralization and probe for downdip extensions of the Riedel veins that often host high-grade gold. This orientation of drilling cuts perpendicular to the first order structures at Mustajärvi. In this part of the property, the Mustajärvi fault zone is represented by multiple splays that trend northeast, and this direction is an important control in both replacement-style and vein hosted mineralization.

In addition to infilling a gap in the geological model on the western side of the target, 23MJ001 tested for deeper vein-controlled mineralization north of the main lode. The hole was collared in thin glacial till sediments overlying strongly weathered intermediate tuffites. Just below the glacial sediments, the tuffites are pervasively albitized, sericitized and silicified, with fracture-controlled (secondary) kaolinite. The hole is dominantly hosted in the intermediate volcaniclastic sediments, but there are multiple mafic and ultramafic interbeds and possible dikes. Faulting is evident in the hole, sometimes associated with zones of high pyrite, and mylonite zones appear deeper in the hole.  Pyrite, often oxidized, is abundant in the shallow portions of the hole, occurring as disseminations, patches and clots along foliations and fractures, and in veins. In the deeper portions of the hole, pyrite is most often associated with quartz-carbonate-tourmaline veins.   

Gold mineralization starts immediately beneath the glacial cover at a depth of 5.4 m, where 23MJ001 cut an interval averaging 9.69 g/t Au over 11.95 m, including 37.24 g/t Au over 2.25 m. The narrower high-grade zones are usually associated with massive pyrite and faulting, but the longer interval exhibits clear evidence of gold accompanying the albite-silica-sericite-pyrite replacement. As is commonly seen at Mustajärvi, early albite appears to make the rock brittle and the gold mineralization enters later either with massive silica and pyrite or in crosscutting brittle veins. In these shallow intercepts, gold may be enriched by the process of oxidation, but this has yet to be confirmed as high-grades carry into primary sulphide-bearing intervals.

There is additional high-grade mineralization sporadically down hole to 51 m depth, with an additional wider zone starting at 37.25 m that averaged 8.09 g/t Au over 5.35m (See Figure 2 for a photo of the drill core). Numerous mylonite zones in the hole are mineralized, such as a 0.8m sample from 171m depth, which contained 1.23 g/t Au.

Drill hole 23MJ002 is the northernmost collar to date at the East Target. This hole was designed to undercut the near-surface replacement-style mineralization and test its western downdip continuation. The hole passed through a more monotonous sequence of intermediate tuffites, which is cut by numerous faults and veins, but mafic rocks were much less abundant than in 23MJ001. The hole encountered 21 individual mineralized samples above the cutoff grade of 0.5 g/t Au between 33.0 and 127.0 metres depth. From 60.0 m depth, there is a 7.35 m interval averaging 2.40 g/t Au, including 1.0 m at 10.51 g/t, which is associated with vein breccias and mylonite. There is also deeper lower-grade mineralization, as is commonly seen south of the heart of the system.

Drill hole 23MJ003 was collared across the highway more than 120 metres southeast of any previous drilling at the East Target. The hole was directed northwest at an azimuth of 320° towards deep mineralization previously intersected by drill hole 22MJ025 (see FireFox news release dated February 15, 2023), which returned 1.2 m at 8.75 g/t Au from 251 m depth and several intervals above 1.0 g/t Au. In addition, this hole tested the predicted contact between Savukoski group ultramafic rocks and Sodankylä group metasediments.

The contact between the ultramafic volcanics and the metasedimentary intermediate tuffites was successfully intersected at a depth of 152 metres. The ultramafic rocks near the contact are talc-carbonate-chlorite altered, locally with disseminated sulphides. The contact zone is strongly mylonitized and the rocks immediately beneath the contact are strongly altered, reflecting pervasive albite and fracture-controlled sericite-kaolinite. The footwall intermediate tuffites reflect regular interbeds of mafic and ultramafic volcanic rocks and several faults and mylonite zones. The hole intersected several mineralized intervals with weak disseminated pyrite mineralization associated with sericite-kaolinite.

While most of the intercepts in 23MJ003 are comparatively narrow, several of the significant drill intercepts are associated with albite-silica-sericite-pyrite replacement. Quartz-carbonate-tourmaline-pyrite veins and veinlets are also widespread in this drill hole. At 155.5 m depth, the hole intersected an interval of 9.50 m averaging 2.08 g/t Au, including 1.0 m at 8.63 g/t Au. Mineralization in this zone is hosted in albite-quartz-sericite alteration with local carbonate-tourmaline veinlets. 

At approximately the same depth as previously drilled in the area, 22MJ003 confirmed a significant deep high-grade zone of gold mineralization. This interval was 2.45m averaging 15.22 g/t Au, including 1.45m at 24.16 g/t Au, from 248.65 metres deep. The high-grade zone is hosted in quartz-albite fault breccia (possible hydrothermal breccia) with disseminated pyrite mineralization and associated quartz-tourmaline and tourmaline veinlets (See Figure 3 for a photo of the drill core). In total, drill hole 23MJ003 intersected 14 individual mineralized intervals above the cutoff grade of 0.5 g/t Au.

Drill hole 23MJ004 was collared on the east side of the East Target, directed at an azimuth of 240° to evaluate the near-surface replacement zone and its continuation down plunge to the southwest. The southwest drill direction enables testing of the northwest oriented faults. The thickest and highest-grade gold zones at Mustajärvi East appear to be controlled by intersections of both prevailing structural directions. Figure 1 shows that this hole begins in the magnetic low known to host the near-surface high grade gold and plunges into a subtle magnetic low corridor to the southwest. 

Immediately beneath a thin veneer of glacial sediments (5.7 metres downhole), the hole passed into intermediate tuffites, which are pervasively albitized and strongly oxidized. The volcaniclastic rocks continue to the bottom of the hole at 175.5m, but the sequence is cut by gabbro dikes and occasional interbeds of mafic tuffs. In total, this hole encompassed 41 individual samples that assayed above the cutoff grade of 0.5 g/t Au. Mineralization started at 12 m depth, where the hole intersected a near-surface pyrite mineralized zone, which returned 20.45m averaging 5.14 g/t Au. This interval included multiple short higher-grade intercepts, including 3.15m at 13.69 g/t Au, and 0.75 m at 23.92 g/t Au. The gold in this zone correlates with moderate to strong concentrations of pyrite that occur in several modes, including replacement-style on foliations and fractures, as well as stringers and veinlets. A photo of the drill core is linked as Figure 4.  

Another high-grade zone was intercepted at 54.0 m depth, spanning an interval of 14.8m that averaged 6.00 g/t Au, including 3.45 m at 19.43 g/t Au. This interval is also dominated by replacement-style pyrite and pervasive silicification and variable sericite and kaolinite.        

As shown in Table 1, several additional well-mineralized intervals were intercepted between 89m and 155m depth. Gold mineralization is consistently associated with pyrite, most often in quartz-carbonate-tourmaline-pyrite (QCTP) veins and veinlets cutting pervasively albitized intermediate tuffites. The silica-sericite-pyrite replacement zones with gold normally occur in the metasedimentary (tuffite) rock package. Pyrite also commonly forms individual massive stringers along brittle fractures.

It is noteworthy that drill hole 23MJ004 ends in mineralization. Just beneath a mylonite zone in ultramafic volcanic rocks, the rock becomes heavily veined and fractured. The drill was likely entering a fault zone, where recovery became difficult. The final sample was a veined and brecciated intermediate tuffite with pervasive albite and silica, bladed calcite, and traces of visible pyrite. The last 0.9m sample from 174.6 m depth assayed 4.25 g/t Au.

It is clear from these drill holes that the Mustajärvi East system persists to depth with numerous examples of QCTP veins and breccias containing more than 3.0 g/t gold having no follow-up drilling yet.

SODANKYLÄ, FINLAND – (June 29, 2023) – FireFox Gold Corp. (TSX.V: FFOX)(OTCQB: FFOXF)(“FireFox” or the “Company”) is pleased to report the results from its second reconnaissance diamond drilling campaign at its 100%-held Sarvi Gold Project in Lapland, Finland.

This drilling campaign included four drill holes, totalling 611 metres. These holes were designed to test a combination of geochemical anomalies (till and rock sampling) and structural/geological targets (See Figure 1). The drilling was not successful in identifying high-grade gold, but the drill holes did encounter quartz-carbonate (tourmaline) veining with sulphides, as well as sulphide-bearing carbonaceous sediments above a contact with mafic volcanic rocks.

FireFox’s CEO, Carl Löfberg, commented, “We are pleased that this program, despite having been cut short due to spring snow conditions, has provided significant information to advance our understanding of this high-priority property. We have identified attractive host lithologies and low levels of mineralization, while also confirming that more till sampling is essential to our drill targeting. We are now planning our winter till sampling program to continue our systematic exploration at Sarvi. In the meantime, the team is excited to focus on the upcoming drill results from our Mustajärvi project, where we are confident that we will continue to grow our high-grade East Target.”

Overall, these drill results were similar to the first phase of drilling in 2022 (see Company news release dated May 27, 2022). A few highlights from the drill hole analyses follow:

• Weakly anomalous gold in two of the four holes, with no values above 0.100 g/t;
• Widespread areas of anomalous copper, including narrow intercepts of 841, 652, and 605 ppm;
• Anomalous multielement geochemistry in all holes, generally consistent with the till results:
  • Elevated silver (Ag), arsenic (As) antimony (Sb), copper (Cu), bismuth (Bi), molybdenum (Mo), tellurium (Te), zinc (Zn), and other elements; and
• Drill hole 23SA004 passed through a fault zone with polymetallic enrichment and weakly anomalous gold, including:
  • 2.23 ppm Ag, 652 ppm Cu, 1,680 ppm Zn, and 0.044 g/t Au over 1.35m from 16.0m depth.

The most important finding from this phase of drilling is that the mudstones and black shales at Sarvi are likely the best hosts for gold, silver, and base metal mineralization. This is consistent with previous drilling on the property completed by the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) in 2009.  Assays from two historical holes located approximately 5km west of FireFox’s Phase 2 drill holes reportedly include 1.6 metres averaging 1.1 g/t Au from 26.4 metres depth (drill hole M371209R5) and 0.5 metres averaging 3.57 g/t Au from 69.5 metres depth (drill hole M371209R8). [This drilling was carried out by previous operators and has not been independently verified by the Company’s Qualified Person. Reported intervals are core lengths and true thickness has not been estimated at this time.]  The FireFox team is reviewing the historical drill core from these holes. The preliminary interpretation is that these intercepts occur in similar metasedimentary rocks to those hosting low-grade gold, silver, and base metals elsewhere at Sarvi. This geological unit appears to extend across the Sarvi permits, creating target settings on which to focus future exploration where this metal rich stratigraphy is cut by late-stage faulting.

In the upcoming exploration season, FireFox intends to extend base-of-till (BoT) sampling into new areas and increase the sampling density with a focus on the metasedimentary rock package. Interpreted structures and/or magnetic anomalies that are believed to cut the black shales and mudstones will be the highest priority for more sampling and drilling.

Project and Program Details

The Sarvi Project (“Sarvi”) is part of the Company’s large land package immediately north of Rupert Resources’ Area 1 Project (Ikkari Deposit). The project is centred on the Sarvi exploration permit and includes two additional exploration permits, Sarvi-2 to the north and Keulakko to the west, for a total permitted area of 21 km². The Sarvi permits cover a portion of the Kittilä Suite of volcanic rocks, which is cut by several interpreted faults.  The project is at a very early stage; however, the geological understanding has been advanced through a compilation of detailed magnetics from both drone-based and ground surveys combined with almost 1,600 BoT samples and a total of 2938.8 metres of drilling.  Much of the property is covered by glacial sediments, so outcrop is rare, but the technical team has identified a number of structures and lithologic contacts as targets based on detailed magnetics data.

Drill holes 23SA001 and 23SA002 were collared 42 metres apart and drilled in a south oriented drill fence. The holes tested a steep magnetic gradient that is coincident with a surface rock sample that yielded 1.47 g/t Au and 1.86% Cu (see Company news release dated August 24, 2021). These drill holes intersected mafic volcanic rocks including some evidence of shearing and folding with locally intense quartz-carbonate veining, including chalcopyrite, pyrite, tourmaline, and iron carbonate. Gold assays were all close to or below the detection limit, however, both holes returned multiple assays with elevated copper (>300pppm) including a high sample of 841ppm copper in 23SA002. This latter sample was accompanied by elevated cobalt (100.5ppm) and arsenic (105.5ppm).

Drill hole 23SA003 was collared approximately 1.4 kilometres southeast of 23SA001 and 23SA002. In this area, a magnetic high is apparently cut by late faulting and the BoT samples were anomalous in arsenic and copper. The drillhole was aimed to the south and passed through a thick section of mafic volcanic rocks.   A two-metre interval starting at 132metres returned elevated copper with an average of 605ppm Cu. 

Drill hole 23SA004 was located approximately 750 metres north from 23SA003. The target for this hole was a strong geochemical anomaly in the BoT sampling, including elevated silver, arsenic, bismuth, tellurium, and molybdenum. These elements are often enriched in Lapland gold systems. The hole intersected an interval of abundant pyrite in graphite-bearing mudstones and black shales above a gradational contact with the underlying volcanic rocks. The drill hole passes into mafic volcanic rocks (likely tholeiitic basalts) at approximately 91m downhole and continuing until final depth of 235 metres. Establishing the presence of this contact between the sulphide-bearing mudstones and the basalt is very useful for ongoing work at Sarvi.  

Results from this hole correspond well with the BoT geochemistry, with anomalous gold and the associated pathfinder elements above the contact with the volcanics. There were multiple narrow intervals in the hole with elevated silver, copper, cobalt, zinc and other elements.  The best interval occurred near surface at 16.0m depth: 1.35m containing 2.23 g/t Ag, 0.044 g/t Au, 652 ppm Cu, 121.5 ppm, and 1,680 ppm Zn.

Methodology & Quality Assurance

FireFox geologists selected individual intervals of drill core for analysis based on visible mineralization and/or alteration and/or structural deformation.

FireFox team members transported rock and core samples to an ALS sample prep lab in Sodankylä.

SODANKYLÄ, FINLAND – (June 14, 2023) – FireFox Gold Corp. (TSX.V: FFOX)(OTCQB: FFOXF)(“FireFox” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has completed a drilling program at the newly discovered high-grade zone in the East Target of the Mustajärvi Project. The Company drilled nine (9) diamond core holes totalling 1540.6 metres during the short spring 2023 program. These drill holes were designed to infill gaps in the modelled near-surface gold shapes and test for significant extensions to the west and southwest (see Figure 1). The new holes included close offsets and downdip tests of the replacement style gold mineralization drilled in the East Target, but the drilling also included major step-outs of 80m and 220m along strike to the southwest.  Assays of the drill core are in progress.

The Company has also received multielement geochemical analyses on the drill core from the fall 2022 drilling campaign. The most recent data are consistent with previous results from Mustajärvi drilling; the gold mineralization is consistently enriched in bismuth (Bi), tellurium (Te), molybdenum (Mo), selenium (Se), nickel (Ni), and cobalt (Co). Silver (Ag), arsenic (As), and copper (Cu) occur at relatively low levels at Mustajärvi. Cobalt is quite enriched at the East target, reaching maximum values of 0.497% and 0.461% over separate 1 metre samples in the 2022 drilling. Drill hole 22MJ021 recorded the strongest cobalt interval yet drilled, along with one of the best gold results as well (see Company news release dated January 18, 2023):

• 22MJ021: 15.5m at 13.09 g/t Au, 0.15% Co, and 143 ppm Te from 11.0m depth, including
  • 6.5m at 19.18 g/t Au, 0.27% Co, and 247 ppm Te from 20.0m depth.

FireFox’s CEO, Carl Löfberg, commented about the drilling at Mustajärvi, “This drill program is meant to reveal the potential scale of the gold system we have been drilling at Mustajärvi.  The combination of careful structural measurements and detailed interpretation of geophysics directed the team to focus the step-out drilling along a northeast-southwest corridor. Our preliminary impressions are that the new drilling has been successful in extending the mineralized corridor to the southwest. The elevated cobalt that is associated with the gold is a recurring theme at Mustajärvi. While we know the cobalt occurs in pyrite, which is also correlated with the gold, there remains a lot of work to understand whether the cobalt could be economically recovered. We look forward to the receipt of the gold and multielement assays from this latest round of drilling.”  

Mustajärvi Project and Drill Program Details

The Mustajärvi Project lies along the highway between the cities of Kittilä and Sodankylä, approximately 17 kilometres east of Kittilä. The property straddles the Mustajärvi Shear Zone (MSZ), a major right-lateral shear zone that has associated second and third-order structures which further dissect the project into separate structural zones. The Sodankylä Group rocks, which are primarily to the north of the shear zone in the footwall, include metamorphosed sedimentary and volcaniclastic rocks. Geophysics and drilling have identified an extensive corridor of albite – sericite alteration in the footwall along more than two kilometres of the structure. The project remains at an early stage as FireFox and predecessor companies have drilled approximately 14,158 metres to date.

 Figure 1 - Spring 2023 drilling campaign at Mustajärvi East Target - infill and step out holes.

FireFox’s structural model identified repetitive dilatant zones along the MSZ where vein swarms, replacement style, and higher-grade gold are concentrated. Three main areas of gold mineralization have been identified along a 2.1-kilometre segment of the MSZ, namely the Central Zone, the Northeast Target, and the East Target. The Central Zone and East Target have clear expressions of significant grade and thickness of gold mineralization at surface, whereas the gold at the Northeast Target is concentrated between 100 and 150 metres below surface. Folding and extensive faulting are in evidence, suggesting the potential for locating much more gold around and between these three widely spaced targets.

The spring 2023 drilling at Mustajärvi was focused on the East Target with a primary goal to extend known, shallow high-grade mineralization. FireFox geologists have collected structural geology evidence indicating that a primary control on the East Target mineralization trends to the southwest. The detailed ground magnetics also revealed a subtle corridor of less magnetic rocks trending to the southwest beneath the highway. There is also a chargeability anomaly in the area, immediately SW of the latest drilling, that may mark the presence of sulphide minerals. The high chargeability zone strikes northeast and dips to the southeast, subparallel with the inferred lithological contact and slightly oblique to the MSZ. The nature of the elevated chargeability was untested until this drill program. The drilling was targeted based on a combination of FireFox’s 3D geological model, structural geology, and geophysics. Due to the near-surface nature of the high-grade target in this area, most of the drill holes in this program were shallow (See Table 1).

Drill holes 23MJ001 and MJ002 were aimed at the western side of the shallow high-grade replacement style mineralization and downdip extensions of the Riedel veins that often host high-grade gold. 23MJ001 undercut a bonanza grade intercept in 22MJ024 (3.4m at 50.91 g/t Au from 91.8m depth), which was reported on February 15, 2023. Both of these holes evaluated the downdip continuation of the thicker replacement style zones of mineralization in the centre of the East Target.

The team stepped out over 100m to the south with drill hole 23MJ003, which was aimed back to the northwest to probe for a key lithologic contact and shear zone. Drill hole 22MJ025 had intercepted narrow intercepts of 14.53 and 8.75 g/t gold at depth, but it failed to reach the shear zone (see Company news release dated February 15, 2023). The FireFox geological model predicts that jogs in the sheared contact between the Sodankylä group and Savukoski group rocks are associated with the strongest gold occurrences along the shear zone. The new drill hole passed through the contact at the approximate depth predicted. The shear zone has now been drilled over a strike length of more than 2.2km despite numerous complex jogs and displacements in the feature.

Drill holes 23MJ004 and 23MJ007 are drilled along a northeast-southwest direction, roughly parallel to the MSZ. This alternative direction of drilling yielded excellent results during a first test, as reported in the January 2023 FireFox news release. In this area, there is a well-developed zone of thicker replacement style mineralization that comes very close to surface and is interpreted to plunge to the southwest. Drill hole 23MJ007 cuts across an interpreted structure and passes through a strong magnetic low on the northwest of the known gold zone. These holes could offer meaningful extensions to the heart of the East Zone mineralization. Drill hole 23MJ006 was lost due to drilling difficulties and replaced with 23MJ007.

Drill holes 23MJ005 and MJ009 were drilled along northwest-southeast section lines, separated by approximately 20 metres. One hole was aimed to the northwest and the other to the southeast in order to test both shallow and deeper portions of the combined IP chargeability and magnetic anomaly that extends west from the East Target.

The team executed a bold step-out drill hole with 23MJ008. It was collared approximately 120 metres southwest from 23MJ005 and more than 220 meters southwest from 22MJ022. The structural geology and apparent controls on the shallow high-grade parts of the East Target appear to indicate a southwest plunge.  That pattern is echoed by the complex patterns seen in the detailed ground magnetics. This drill hole was directed at crosscutting the prevailing shear direction and testing a new corridor of low magnetics that may define another zone of alteration. 

Firefox Gold geologists are actively working with the new drill core, logging geology, and making measurements. Samples are still being delivered to the laboratory and assays are pending for all of this drilling. More information can be expected during the coming weeks.

SODANKYLÄ, FINLAND – (May 31, 2023) – FireFox Gold Corp. (TSX.V: FFOX)(OTCQB: FFOXF)(“FireFox” or the “Company”) is pleased to report the completion of a second diamond drilling campaign at its 100%-held Sarvi Gold Project in Lapland, Finland.

The Sarvi Project (“Sarvi”) is part of the Company’s large land package immediately to the north of Rupert Resources’ Area 1 Project (Ikkari Deposit). The project is centred on the Sarvi exploration permit and includes two additional exploration permits, Sarvi-2 to the north and Keulakko to the west, for a total permitted area of 21 km² (see Figure 1). The Sarvi permits cover a portion of the Kittilä Suite of volcanic rocks, which is cut by several interpreted faults.   

This follow-up reconnaissance drilling campaign at Sarvi included four drill holes, totalling 611 metres. These holes were designed to test a combination of geochemical anomalies from base-of-till (BoT) sampling and structural/geological targets (See Figure 2). The geological understanding of the project has been advanced through a compilation of detailed magnetics from both drone-based and ground surveys combined with almost 1,600 BoT samples. This round of drilling encountered quartz-carbonate (tourmaline) veining with sulphides, as well as sulphide-bearing carbonaceous sediments at a contact with mafic volcanic rocks. Drilling in 2022 also encountered sulphide-rich graphite bearing tuffs and schists that contained highly anomalous gold and silver (see Company news release dated May 27, 2022).

The drilling was terminated early due to rapid onset of melting. Assays are pending for all four drill holes.

FireFox’s CEO, Carl Löfberg, commented about the Sarvi drilling, “We continue to advance our portfolio of assets in Lapland, drilling on two of our five permitted projects during the winter 2023 program. Despite a shortened program at Sarvi due to the onset of spring conditions, the winter drilling was very valuable. The team identified sulphide minerals in three of the four holes and drilled an important sediment-volcanic contact. We can see evidence for multiple stages of deformation at the project along with anomalous gold, silver, and a suite of pathfinder elements that has been shown to be important in Lapland. As is the case for numerous projects in this area, outcrop is sparse, so we plan to expand our base-of-till sampling program to support more drilling. In the meantime, we look forward to receipt of the assays for these four holes.”

Geology and Details of the Sarvi Drill Program

Drill holes 23SA001 and 23SA002 were collared 42 metres apart and drilled in a south oriented drill fence. The holes tested a steep magnetic gradient that is coincident with a surface rock sample that yielded 1.47 g/t Au and 1.86% Cu (see Company news release dated August 24, 2021). These drill holes intersected mafic volcanic rocks including some evidence of shearing and folding with locally intense quartz-carbonate veining, including  chalcopyrite, pyrite, tourmaline, and iron carbonate.

Drill hole 23SA003 was drilled approximately 1.4 kilometres southeast of 23SA001 and SA002. In this area, a magnetic high is apparently cut by late faulting and the BoT samples were anomalous in arsenic and copper. The drillhole was aimed to the south and passed through a thick section of mafic volcanic rocks.

Figure 1- Sarvi Project Location

Drill hole 23SA004 was located approximately 750 metres north from 23SA003. The target for this hole was a strong geochemical anomaly in the BoT sampling, including elevated silver, arsenic, bismuth, tellurium, and molybdenum. These elements are often enriched in Lapland gold systems. The hole intersected a sediment-volcanic contact with abundant pyrite in graphite-bearing mudstones and black shales. The pyrite-bearing section appears similar to the anomalous gold and silver intercept from the west side of the property in 2022. Below this interval, the drill hole passes through a gradational contact with mafic volcanic rocks (likely tholeiitic basalts) at approximately 91m downhole. Establishing the presence of this contact between the sulphide-bearing mudstones and the basalt is very useful for ongoing work at Sarvi.

The drilling fleet was subsequently moved to the Mustajärvi Project area for additional drilling around the high-grade East Target.

SODANKYLÄ, FINLAND – (April 19, 2023) – FireFox Gold Corp. (TSX.V: FFOX)(OTCQB: FFOXF)(“FireFox” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that it has been granted a new exploration permit covering nearly 20km² along a major geologic break (“the Kolho Trend”) in Finland’s Central Lapland Greenstone Belt (CLGB) (see Figure 1, below).

The Kolho Trend occupies a 23-kilometer-long section of a key thrusted contact zone that is deformed around older granitic rocks. Regional mapping by the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) and limited exploration along the trend has revealed evidence of complex faulting and folding from multiple deformation events. Bedrock geology is interpreted to include mafic to ultramafic volcanic rocks, graphitic schists, and quartz-rich clastic rocks that have been thrust onto Archean basement to the east. These rock units are part of the assemblages that host Agnico Eagle’s Kittilä Mine and Rupert Resources’ Ikkari deposit.

In spite of its prospective setting, there is evidence of only very limited gold exploration along the Kolho Trend prior to FireFox gaining control of it in 2020 via an exploration reservation (see News release dated September 16, 2020). The Company subsequently applied for six exploration permits covering 122.60 km² of the original reservation area, of which the central 19.56 km² license, “Nuttio” is the first to be approved. Issued by Tukes, the Finnish Safety and Chemicals Agency, the exploration permit is an important step as it allows for mechanized work, including diamond drilling, exploration trenching and bottom-of-bill (BoT) sampling.

FireFox’s CEO, Carl Löfberg, commented, “Our previous surface and geophysical work secured our belief that the Kolho Trend is highly prospective for orogenic gold deposits. This huge new Nuttio permit is just the first of several we expect to receive to cover the entire trend, allowing us to control exploration and discovery in an exciting new area. We are eager to get started, so we have mobilized a BoT rig to take advantage of the remaining winter drill season with a brief sampling program.”

Since 2020 FireFox has undertaken reconnaissance exploration and completed airborne magnetics over the area. The FireFox team worked jointly with GoldSpot Discoveries on an integrated interpretation of the geophysical data along the Kolho Trend. In addition to the multiple generations of deformation that are evident in the Kolho thrusting and shearing corridor, there are also prominent N-S and NE oriented linears that appear to be later stage structures (see Company news release dated May 12, 2022). The presence of these late crosscutting structures is consistent with the setting of the Kittilä Mine along the Kiistala shear zone (~20km NW).

Based on this targeting work, FireFox selected the Nuttio permit as the first project to move forward along the Kolho Trend. The Company has mobilized a BoT drill rig to Nuttio and commenced its first detailed sub-surface testing program.

Figure 1. The vast Kolho Trend, including the recently granted Nuttio permit central to the group of other in-progress permit applications (Click here to enlarge).

FireFox cautions that proximity or similar geology to another gold deposit or active mine does not indicate that mineralization will occur on FireFox’s property, and if mineralization does occur, that it will occur in sufficient quantity or grade that would be economically viable. These factors are only cited as evidence of prospectivity of certain properties.

FireFox will pay to qualified finders $4,200 in cash finders fees and will issue 42,000 finders warrants exercisable at $0.15 for 2 years from the date of issuance. FireFox will also pay $31,800 in agency fees and will issue 318,000 agency warrants exercisable at $0.15 for 2 years from the date of issuance.

Warrant Amendments

FireFox also announces that it is applying to the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) to extend the expiry date of 8.33 million common share purchase warrants issued by the Company in connection with a private placement financing closed on April 30, 2021. This will extend the expiry date by one year to April 28, 2024. The warrants to be amended do not include any warrants issued to finders or agents. No other terms of the warrants are to be amended and the exercise price remains at $0.27.

In addition, the Company is also seeking approval from the TSXV to re-price 2.53 million common share purchase warrants from an exercise price of $0.18 to $0.12. The re-pricing request pertains to a non-brokered private placement closed by the Company on November 15, 2022. FireFox’s objective in re-pricing the warrants is to bring them in line with the exercise price of another non-brokered private placement closed very shortly thereafter on December 19, 2022, in which the warrant exercise price was $0.12. The warrants in question have an expiry date of November 15, 2024.

Alex also has unique insights into corporate finance and transactions. His counsel and enthusiasm are welcome at FireFox, where we are exploring one of the largest portfolios of gold tenements in northern Finland.”

I am a shareholder and it’s a pleasure to join the leadership who assembled this team and land package. We will work together with the geologists on the ground to maximize the value of FireFox’s projects for our shareholders.”

Alex is a native of Montreal, Quebec and received B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Economic Geology from McGill University.
