(TSX-V: FFOX) (\"FireFox\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report that it has completed a three-hole (446 metres), reconnaissance drilling program at the Utsamo Target area within its 100% owned Jeesiö Gold Project in the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt, Finland. The drilling tested 180 metres of strike within a five-kilometre corridor of complex faults and shears that are believed to represent a section of the Sirkka Shear Zone (see Figure 1a: https://bit.ly/37dcvzM) (see FireFox news release dated September 3, 2019). The Sirkka Shear provides the structural control for most known gold deposits in Central Lapland.   \n\n \n \n\n \n\"This initial reconnaissance drill program has demonstrated that the Utsamo Property covers what is believed to represent an important flexure in the Sirkka Shear Zone,\" commented Carl Löfberg, CEO of FireFox Gold. \"This promising area lies between Aurion's Launi East and Risti discoveries to the southeast and northwest, respectively. These drill holes constituted the first sub-surface test of the area as part of a larger exploration program that will identify and test additional targets along the structural corridor.\"\nProgram Results and Interpretation\nAt Utsamo, both gold in bottom-of-till (BOT) samples and anomalous Ionic Leach samples are spatially associated with the margins of magnetic bodies (mafic-ultramafic sills) and contacts between low and high resistivity domains. The IP resistivity low in Utsamo was interpreted to represent a near-vertical fault zone. Hole 19JEE001 started within the surface projection of the IP resistivity low and was drilled towards the NE, while holes 19JEE002 and 19JEE003 were drilled from the NE to the SW in order to transect the IP resistivity low (see Figure 1b: https://bit.ly/37dcvzM). \nThe three Utsamo drill holes intersected a lithological ...
