(TSX-V: FFOX, FSE: A2PDU7) (\"FireFox\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that new ground magnetic surveys have verified a major structure thought to be the continuation of the Sirkka Shear Zone through its Jeesiö gold project in the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt (CLGB) of northern Finland. The Sirkka Shear Zone is the major deep crustal shear zone that provides the structural control for numerous gold deposits in Central Lapland. \nLate last year FireFox outlined five promising new gold targets on the Jeesiö property based on results from its Bottom-of-Till (BOT) sampling program and a compilation of gold and geochemical data from historic sampling (See Company news release dated Dec. 27, 2018). The Company immediately prioritized the Utsamo and Homelampi targets for follow-up work and conducted ground magnetic surveys at both targets. At Utsamo, the survey results identified a 2.8 km long structurally distinct zone, associated with numerous  gold anomalies in till, that follows the contact between mafic intrusive rocks and metasediments. This feature is believed to be the continuation of the Sirkka Shear Zone (See Figure 1:  https://bit.ly/2YdaPlt ). \n\"We believe that our Utsamo Target occupies an important flexure in the Sirkka Shear Zone where it deflects from easterly to a southeasterly strike,\" commented Carl Lofberg, CEO of FireFox Gold. \"These types of large regional shear zones control many of the world-class orogenic gold districts throughout the world, and inflection points such as this often focus much of the tonnage and grade.\"\nThe prospectivity of the Jeesiö Project, and the Utsamo Target particularly, is further highlighted by the discovery of a gold-bearing quartz vein system by another company, about 1.7 kilometres to the south-southeast (see Aurion Re...
