[{"type":"text","content":"FireFox Gold Encounters Significant Coarse Gold at the East Target on the Mustajärvi Project, FinlandSODANKYLÄ, FINLAND / ACCESSWIRE / September 6, 2022 / FireFox Gold Corp. (TSX.V:FFOX)(OTCQB:FFOXF)(\"FireFox\" or the \"Company\") reports additional analyses from the recent drill program at the Company's 100%-held Mustajärvi Gold Project in Lapland, Finland. FireFox previously reported its best drill intercept yet from Mustajärvi, a 13.85-metre interval of drill hole 22MJ006 that averaged 14.39 g/t gold beginning only 24.2m down hole (see Company news release dated July 13, 2022). A subsequent program of screen fire assays of the highly mineralized interval confirmed that the mineralization is remarkably consistent, but the tests also identified coarse gold in one of the samples (Table 1).HIGHLIGHTS FROM SCREEN FIRE ASSAYS OF 13.85 METRE HIGH-GRADE INTERVAL IN 22MJ006One sample from 25.05 to 26.00 metres depth returned a total gold grade of 439 g/tThis sample contained 423 milligrams of coarse goldThis bonanza grade sample was part of a field duplicate pair:The duplicate twin contained total gold of 15.85 g/tIf all the screen fire results were incorporated into the broader high-grade interval, it would average 28.74 g/t over 13.85 metresMost of the interval exhibited excellent consistency between original fire assay and screen fire assaysFireFox is working with its consultants and service providers to better understand and characterize the coarse gold at Mustajärvi\"The high-grade gold at Mustajärvi comes with its own special challenges, but the team has done an excellent job implementing a rigorous quality assurance protocol. These screen fire assay results remind us that this system contains significant coarse gold, and any noteworthy drill intercept may contain more gold than we first estimate,\" commented Carl Löfberg, CEO of FireFox Gold. \"The gold system in the East Target comes right to surface and we see evidence for more than one direction of structural control. We look forward to bringing the drill back to follow-up, as these shallow intercepts are open in several directions.\"The Company's consulting geochemist and quality control expert, Mary Doherty1, remarked in her evaluation of the new drilling data from Mustajärvi, \"The Firefox sampling, preparation and analytical proce...
