VANCOUVER, BC – (December 14, 2017) – FireFox Gold Corp. (“FireFox” or the “Company”) is pleased to advise that it has added 3 new tenement blocks to its gold exploration portfolio in the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt of Finland. The Company can earn a 100% interest in the 73.2 km2 (7,320 hectares) reservation applications as a result of an addendum to the existing option agreement with Magnus Minerals Ltd (see Company news release dated August 2, 2017 under the former name of Silverstone Resources Corp). The new tenements are located adjacent to the Sirkka Gold Line – a major crustal structure that has controlled the emplacement of the majority of the orogenic gold deposits in Lapland.

Carl Lo fberg, CEO of FireFox, commented, “We have further strengthened FireFox’s gold portfolio in Finland with no cost to the Company. Now controlling more than 57,000 hectares in the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt and a total of more than 67,000 hectares in Finland, we see many gold in till and geophysical anomalies that will warrant follow-up during our Winter program. This new acquisition also shows the value of the Geological Survey of Finland database, which helps us accelerate the pace of work on these greenfield projects.”

Two of the blocks are located adjacent to the Company’s existing Jeesio Project. These two blocks are considered as greenfield exploration targets, but they are known to host prospective geology and gold anomalies from historical work reflected in the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) database. FireFox geologists identified the new properties as targets based on an internal review of Company and GTK data. Drilling at a nearby target called Kiekero maa yielded near surface gold intercepts of up to 5 metres at 5.8 g/t associated with the contact between metasediments and mafic intrusive rocks. The newly acquired FireFox tenements include two prominent multi-point till anomalies (0.58 and 0.38 g/t Au) in close proximity to similar lithologic contacts. Originally, this data was collected by Outokumpu Oyj and later transferred to the GTK database. Outokumpu Oyj also identified significant gold in the heavy mineral fraction of till from these properties. These prospective areas have not been subject to any known historical drilling. FireFox is currently planning its winter exploration program, which will include follow-up of a number of significant anomalies on the Jeesio Project.

The third new block is located further west along the Sirkka Gold Line. It adjoins the Company’s Riikonkoski Project and partially surrounds the historic Saatopora Mine, held by Outokumpu Oyj. The now-idled Saatopora Mine produced approximately 220,000 oz Au and 5,650 t Cu between 1988-1995. The newly acquired tenement near Saattopora hosts 39 historical diamond drill holes, which the Company will be reviewing in detail during its Winter program. (All sampling and production results noted above are reported in, and were recovered from, the GTK database.)

Summary of Transaction

The Company has agreed with Magnus Minerals Ltd. to add the new tenements to the existing option agreement, dated August 1, 2017, through a letter agreement as an addendum. The properties will be subject to the existing terms of that agreement (see below) with no additional cost to the Company.

About the Jeesiö Project

The Jeesio Project is comprised of approximately 45,500 hectares of the prospective Central Lapland Greenstone Belt, including two large granted exploration reservations, two smaller applications for exploration permits, and the two new reservations covering approximately 5,580 hectares. The property is adjoined on the eastern end by Aurion Resources and Anglo-American. The Company is currently developing targets based on data generated during its maiden exploration program during Summer and Fall of 2017 as well as the historic data reported in the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) database. Based on GTK mapping and company fieldwork, Jeesio hosts an extensive section of the Sirrka Gold Line as well as abundant mafic volcanic and metasedimentary rocks.

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 67,000 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.
