FireFox Gold Launches Summer Exploration Program

FINLAND - FireFox Gold Corp. reported that it has launched a multidisciplinary field program on several of its gold projects in the Central Lapland region of Finland. The majority of the field work will be focused on the Jeesio and Sarvilehto Projects, which are in a portion of the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt (CLGB) that has been a hotbed of recent activity by fellow explorers, Aurion Resources, Rupert Resources, and others. The primary objective of the program is to define drill targets at both Jeesio and Sarvi for a fall and winter drill program.

There are four major elements of the summer exploration program: A high-resolution UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) based airborne magnetics survey; Excavator trenching and systematic sampling at several projects, and potentially other areas as prospecting results dictate; Follow-up prospecting, reconnaissance mapping and sampling in areas of known gold mineralization or prospectivity, as well as newly acquired exploration reservations; and A next-generation integrated interpretation and targeting exercise using multivariate data across the Company's Lapland properties.

Patrick Highsmith, FireFox's chairman, commented, "We are very excited to launch a significant and fully funded summer exploration program that will include a state-of-the-art UAV magnetics survey as well as extensive good old-fashioned prospecting. Our Jeesio and Sarvi Projects occur on-trend with important structures, where we have already identified gold occurrences of note. In addition to this work, we look forward to unveiling a next-generation integrated targeting exercise in the coming weeks. It is fantastic to see the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt finally enjoying significant levels of funding and drilling for its gold potential. As a team, we have been working these rocks for a long time; the emerging discoveries in the belt have heightened the intensity for all of us."
