[{"type":"text","content":"FireFox Gold Tests New Drill Orientation and Hits More High-Grade, including 13.09 g/t gold over 15.5m, at Mustajärvi Project, FinlandSODANKYLÄ, FINLAND / ACCESSWIRE / January 18, 2023 / FireFox Gold Corp. (TSXV:FFOX)(OTCQB:FFOXF)(\"FireFox\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report results from the first three drill holes of the fall 2022 core drilling campaign at the Company's 100%-held Mustajärvi Gold Project in Lapland, Finland. These three holes were part of a six-hole program (977.1 metres) that tested a new near-surface high-grade gold zone at the East Target (see Figure 1). All three of the holes returned high-grade gold assays, including some of the richest intercepts yet reported from the project.Drillholes 22MJ021 and 22MJ022 both encountered significant high-grade gold at depths of less than 20 metres below surface. The best intercept in this round of results was 15.5m of 13.09 g/t gold in 22MJ021, which began just below the covering glacial sediments at 11m downhole depth. Importantly, these holes were drilled perpendicular to the drilling orientation favoured in the previous campaigns and appear to have successfully confirmed that the observed cross-structures host significant mineralization.FireFox's CEO, Carl Löfberg, commented, \"Our drilling at Mustajärvi East is yielding consistent improvement in grade and thickness of the gold mineralization. In addition to the continued presence of narrow bonanza veins, our most recent drillholes have encountered replacement style mineralization over greater widths than previously seen on the project. It also happens that these new robust intercepts lie at very shallow depths in the East Target. By drilling these new holes towards the northeast, we have expanded the footprint of the high-grade system to the west, to the north, and to depth. We anticipate results from two more holes in the East Target in a few weeks.\"Highlights of selected intervals are shown below, while Table 1 includes all significant intercepts:22MJ021: 15.5m at 13.09 g/t Au from 11.0m depth*, including3.6m at 16.45 g/t Au from 14.4 metres depth, and6.5m at 19.18 g/t Au from 20.0 metres depth, including3.5m at 24.35 g/t Au from 23.0 metres depth22MJ022: 7.2m at 16.43 g/t Au from 22.8 metres depth, including3.0m at 37.9 g/t Au from 26.2 metres depth; and1.7m at 31.6 g/t Au from 86...
