VANCOUVER, BC – (Sept 29, 2017) – FireFox Gold Corp. (“FireFox” or the “Company”), formerly Silverstone Resources Corp., an unlisted reporting issuer in British Columbia and Alberta, is pleased to announce that it has commenced gold exploration activities on the Jeesio and Ylo ja rvi Projects, key properties in its 60,000 hectare land package in Finland.

The geological team from Magnus Minerals Ltd. (“Magnus”), acting as operator, initiated a program of geological mapping, rock sampling, till sampling, and geophysics on the 40,000 hectare Jeesio Project in the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt. This is some of the first detailed reconnaissance and follow-up exploration work in this area since news of the Aamurusko gold in boulders discovery by Aurion Resources, less than 10 km north from the FireFox survey area.

Similarly, in southern Finland, Magnus geologists have been conducting mapping, sampling, and geophysics on the 10,000 hectare Ylo ja rvi Gold Project, which is located in the Tampere Schist Belt. The Ylo ja rvi Project lies between the currently operating Orivesi Gold Mine and the inactive Haveri Gold Mine. This project includes numerous historical gold showings and previously drilled prospects.

The Company expects to continue this prospecting work as long as weather permits. Combined with follow-up systematic sampling and interpretation, these surveys may lead to maiden drill targets on the Ylo ja rvi Project by Winter of 2017 – 2018. Magnus is funding this first stage of exploration work and will be reimbursed by FireFox as part of the spending commitment related to the option agreement on the Finland properties (See Silverstone Resources Corp. news release dated August 2, 2017).

The Company also reports that it has issued 800,000 common shares of FireFox (“Shares”) by way of private placement to certain FireFox consultants at a price of $0.0001 per Share in recognition of their respective contributions to the initial development of the Company.

About FireFox Gold Corp.

FireFox is a new non-listed reporting issuer in British Columbia and Alberta focused entirely on gold exploration in Finland. The Company has entered into an option agreement with Magnus Minerals Ltd., a private prospect generator company in Finland, through which it has an option to acquire 100% interest in three projects (subject to a NSR royalty) that currently encompass approximately 60,000 hectares. In order to complete the option, the Company must invest CAD $2.5 million in exploration on the properties and make cash payments to Magnus of CAD $250,000 over a three year period (See Silverstone Resources Corp. news release dated Aug 2, 2017).

Finland is one of the top mining jurisdictions in the world as indicated by its 5th ranking in the 2016 Fraser Institute Survey of Mining Companies. Having a strong mining law and long mining tradition, Finland remains underexplored for gold. Recent exploration results in the country have highlighted its prospectivity, and FireFox is proud to have a Finland based CEO and technical team.
