(TSXV:FFOX)(OTCQB:FFOXF)(\"FireFox\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report results from borehole (BHEM) and fixed loop (FLEM) electro-magnetic geophysical surveys executed at the East Target of the Mustajärvi Gold Project in Finland. The purpose of the surveys was to identify new drill targets for high-grade gold that may be associated with highly conductive rocks. Rocks that are high in pyrite tend to be conductive of electricity, making them excellent targets for these types of electromagnetic (EM) systems. The high-grade gold at Mustajärvi, encountered in numerous drill holes since 2019, is almost always associated with high concentrations of pyrite.Highlights of the successful campaign include:The observation that interpreted zones of semi-massive to massive pyrite (conductive zones) continue to the north and along strike beyond current drilling;Recognition of a persistent conductive horizon parallel to the Mustajärvi Shear Zone but over 400 metres south from the southernmost FireFox drillholes; andTwo newly identified strong drill targets related to electrical conductors near to previously drilled holes.FireFox Chairman and Co-Founder, Patrick Highsmith, commented on the geophysical survey, \"The significance of a small geophysical survey like this is that we can test the technology over known high-grade mineralization and look for extensions and analogues. In this case, the FLEM and BHEM suggest the presence of more high sulphide targets both close to existing drilling and well away from existing drilling. We look forward to applying the method along more of the key structures at Mustajärvi. Between our careful application of structural geology, geochemistry, and geophysics, our technical team is confident that we have a long list of high-quality drill targets at Mustajärvi for 2025.\"Fixed-loop EM ResultsThe FLEM survey consisted of two NW-SE oriented surface profiles (Lines 1 and 2) with stations located every 50 metres, in this case yielding a total of 25 stations (Figure 1). An electrical source loop is used to induce current into the ground, and three directional components...
