(TSX.V:FFOX)(OTCQB:FFOXF)(\"FireFox\" or the \"Company\") announces the completion of a successful new exploration trenching campaign that has extended surface high-grade gold mineralization at the East Target, within the Company's 100%-held Mustajärvi Gold Project in Lapland, Finland. A new trench at the East Target cut 10.1 metres averaging 13.79 g/t gold. This result builds on the first trench on the target in 2023 that reported bonanza gold grades of 6.87 metres averaging 59.12 g/t gold (see July 27, 2023 news release).The new trench excavated in October 2024 stepped out approximately 35 metres east-northeast from the 2023 trench (see Figure 1). Beneath approximately six metres of glacial overburden, Trench 1-2024 revealed multiple high-grade gold samples in addition to the continuously mineralized 10.1 metre interval, including cross-cutting channel samples of 24.8 g/t, 22.6 g/t, and 17.6 g/t gold and grab samples of 180.5 g/t, 33.4 g/t, and 17.95 g/t gold.A second trench of the October campaign (Trench 2-2024) stepped out 30 metres on the opposite side of the 2023 trench (southwest). While the mineralization encountered in the second trench was lower grade, the channel samples returned a zone of 2.0 metres averaging 2.56 g/t gold, along with several other 1 metre channels containing more than 1.0 g/t gold and one channel cut of 6.34 g/t gold.Carl Lofberg, FireFox's CEO, commented about the new results, \"Our latest trenching at Mustajärvi has once again revealed high grade gold beneath only five or six metres of overburden. This is important because it reminds us that the comparatively thin overburden in this part of Lapland can easily obscure high grade gold deposits that could be surface mineable. The East Target now boasts a corridor at least 70 metres along strike and more than 10 metres wide with significant gold coming very close to surface. There aren't many first-tier jurisdictions in the world where +10 g/t gold can still be discovered in trenches within 80 metres of a paved highway. In addition to the recent trenching at the East Target, our team has also been conducting electrical geophysics to target the high-grade East Targ...
