[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n DENVER, Nov. 29, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Foothills Exploration, Inc. (OTC.QB: FTXP) (the “Company” or “FTXP”), an independent oil and gas exploration company engaged in the acquisition and development of oil and gas properties in the Rockies, today announced that it has received a bridge loan from FirstFire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC (“FirstFire”).
