(\"FireFox\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that a new extensive gold-bearing structure has been identified in the southern part of its Jeesiö Project. Field crews investigated the area to follow-up on anomalous gold from sampling completed in 2019. The highlights of rock chip samples from the summer 2020 program in this area include boulder samples of 2.6, 2.75, and 4.73 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and outcropping quartz-magnetite-sulphide veins containing 10.5 g/t gold. These higher-grade samples are not representative of the entire target area, but are indications of local intense gold mineralization that has not yet been tested with trenching or drilling.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n This area, termed the Kataja Belt, is at least 3 kilometres long, and occurs approximately 2 kilometres west – southwest of the Launi gold target reported by Aurion Resources. The new high-resolution airborne magnetics data (see FireFox news release dated\n \n August 26, 2020\n \n ) indicate that the targets identified to date in the Kataja Belt form a single gold-bearing structure, even though locally deep glacial sediments over the area preclude direct surface sampling in some areas (See Figure 1:\n \n https://bit.ly/2Sx5mV3\n \n ). The magnetics data further suggest that the Kataja Belt is located within a very complex structural setting, reflected by multiple directions and generations of regional folding and significant through-going faults.\n \n \n Dr.\n \n Petri Peltonen\n \n , FireFox's exploration manager, commented on the significance of the new targets: \"\n \n Interpretation of the new magnetics data indicates that late structures associated with the newly-identified gold showings in our Kataja Belt\n...
