FireFox Gold Corp. (TSXV: FFOX) (OTCQB: FFOXF) (âFireFoxâ or the âCompanyâ) is pleased to announce that it has begun a new fully funded diamond drilling campaign that will test up to four of the deposits of Company gold. properties in the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt in Finland over the next four months
Carl Löfberg, President and CEO of FireFox, commented: âWe have focused on executing a systematic exploration plan and it has paid off with four exciting gold targets ready for drilling this year, including the Sarvi project which we plan to drill for the first time. The potential for significant gold mineralization is high on all of these targets and we look forward to discovering the next deposit⦠or two, in Lapland.
The drilling program has started on the 100% owned Mustajärvi project, where the recently completed Phase 4 program impacted a high grade gold zone comprising 1.35 meters at 93.88 g / t gold in hole 21MJ001 and 7.69 g / t gold over 16.45 meters in hole 21MJ010 (see press releases from June 17e,2021 and September 9e, 2021). The new work will include up to 2,000 meters targeted primarily in the high grade zone of the northeast target.
The second priority property likely to be tested by drilling before the end of January 2022 is the Sarvi project, 100% owned by FireFox, which adjoins Rupert Resources’ Zone 1 discovery zone. FireFox is currently engaged in a detailed BOT trenching and sampling program at Sarvi. To date, the team has collected 168 chip channels and over 500 BOT samples. This new data will be integrated with previous geophysical data and gold, arsenic and copper anomalies from till and rock sampling to generate priority drill targets (see press release dated 24 auguste, 2021). Drilling at Sarvi will likely progress in phases as targets are better defined based on data still pending from the 2021 trenching and BOT campaigns.
In early November, FireFox plans to move the drilling rig to the Utsamo target area of ââthe Jeesiö project. This area was the subject of a detailed base till sampling program (BOT) in the spring and summer with over 1000 samples collected. The results are now being processed and interpreted to refine final drill targets for the fall campaign, which is expected to include up to 1,000 meters of drilling at Utsamo. If permits, timing and conditions permit, FireFox plans additional exploration holes on the Saittavaara prospect in the southern Kataja belt of the Jeesiö project. This zone was first drilled earlier this year and returned gold mineralization of over 0.9 g / t gold in two of the three holes, including a near surface area of ââ4.0 m containing an average of 2.03 g / t gold in 21JE002 (see the news release dated August 3rd, 2021).
