Significant Gold From First-Ever Drilling The Saittavaara Prospect
FINLAND - FireFox Gold Corp. recently completed a three-hole reconnaissance diamond drill program at the Saittavaara Prospect on its 100%-owned Jeesio Project in Lapland. Saittavaara is a prospect near the southern boundary of Jeesio, along the highway from Sodankyla to Kittila. These three holes, totaling 309.1 meters, are the first known drilling in the area by any operator. Two of the three holes encountered gold mineralization of more than 0.9 grams per tonne (g/t). Drill hole 21JE002 intercepted a near-surface zone of 4.0m averaging 2.03 g/t Au, including 2.0m at 3.18 g/t Au.
Carl Löfberg, President & CEO, said, "The drilling at Saittavaara during May 2021 was simple and efficient, easily accomplished during a short break from the Mustajarvi program. In previous programs our geologists sampled a lot of gold in veins and boulders at Saittavaara and Katajavaara. Drilling into this zone of quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration with 3.0 g/t gold mineralization is very encouraging as we follow the major structures and geophysical targets along trend towards Katajavaara. It is exciting to confirm a second project now with significant gold in drill holes, only a short drive down the highway from Mustajarvi."
