FireFox Gold Corp. provide a summary of results from the 2022 exploration programs at its 100% held Jeesiö, Sarvi, Lehto and Kolho gold properties in Lapland, Finland. Trenching and bedrock sampling in the southern part of the huge Jeesiö Project returned anomalous gold over a large area, including 33.60 g/t Au from a bedrock grab sample at the Katajavaara Hill prospect.

Nearly a kilometre away, FireFox geologists collected a rock chip channel sample at the Kataja South prospect that averaged 1.33 g/t Au over 0.8 metres. Another sample in the area contained 1.43 g/t Au, and numerous other samples in the area were highly anomalous in gold. These are the latest sampling results from the first excavations in the area, which was first identified by FireFox reconnaissance sampling late in 2019.

The extent of gold mineralization at both prospects is not known, as the gold anomalies remain open along strike and at depth. Bedrock mapping at the Sarvi property identified several new locations exhibiting strong alteration in metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks, as well as mineralized chert with disseminate sulfide and gold values of 0.31 g/t in surface rock samples. The team noted similar geology farther north while mapping at the Company's Lehto Property.

During the 2022 field campaign, geologists collected a grab sample at Lehto that contained 0.97 g/t gold. At the Kolho property, the field team completed preliminary reconnaissance bedrock mapping in preparation for the first round of mechanized base-of-till (BoT) sampling expected during the spring of 2023. In 2023, FireFox plans additional mapping and sampling at the Katajavaara prospects in order refine the targets for follow-up drilling.

At Sarvi, the FireFox team will conduct more follow-up work from the 2022 BoT sampling to include mapping, sampling, ground geophysics, and core drilling. Initial exploration permits are expected before the end of the second quarter at Kolho, so the Company expects to continue with its target development at Lehto and Kolho and to add a BoT drill rig in that area during second quarter. This work is in addition to the ongoing program at the Company's 100%-held Mustajärvi gold project, from which results for the first three holes of the Fourth Quarter 2022 drilling campaign were recently reported, including 15.5m of 13.09 g/t gold.

The 100%-controlled Jeesiö Gold Project covers approximately 75.8 km2 along the Sirkka Shear Zone, a trans-crustal structure that controls the emplacement of most of the known orogenic gold deposits in Lapland. The main Jeesiö targets include the Utsamo and Kataja Belt areas. From south to north, the Kataja Belt consists of three gold prospects: Saittavaara, Katajavaara South (KJ South) and Katajavaara Hill (KJ Hill).

The prospects span at least 3 kilometres, apparently related to en echelon northerly striking younger ("D3" or "D4") structures. The recently acquired high-resolution airborne magnetics data reveal multiple generations of folding and faulting across the entire Jeesiö Project area. Younger asymmetric folding west of the Kataja Belt shows evidence of disruption by right-lateral shearing broadly parallel with northeast trending axial planes.

These shears appear to be associated with the gold showings in the Kataja Belt. The 2022 trenching campaign was focused on the KJ South and KJ Hill prospects, which emerged from FireFox reconnaissance work in 2019 and 2020. The team excavated 9 small exploration trenches and collected 68 chip/channel and 34 grab samples from bedrock.

In summary, approximately 68% of the total samples exceeded the detection limit for the method (0.005 g/t gold), and 15% of the samples contained anomalous levels of gold more than 0.100 g/t gold. Channel samples were taken perpendicular to observed mineralized veins and structures to represent true width. Most anomalous gold samples were hosted within quartz veins and lenses.

The team recorded detailed information on the geology, alteration, veining, and structures from the trenches that will guide future work and drilling on these emerging targets.
