Firefox Gold Significantly Extends Mineralization at Mustajärvi Gold Project, Finland

VANCOUVER, Nov. 26, 2019 - FireFox Gold Corp. ("FireFox" or the "Company") is pleased to report the first results of the Phase 2 diamond core drilling program at its 100% owned Mustajärvi Gold Project in the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt, Finland. This phase of drilling consisted of nine drill holes, and assays have been received from the first five holes. Notably, two step-out drill holes, 19MJ006 and 19MJ005, intercepted gold mineralization 500 metres northeast of the known gold mineralization (the "Central Zone"), which has a strike length of approximately 400 metres. These holes targeted the previously untested northeastern extent of the shear zone that controls mineralization in the Central Zone. At "Mustajärvi NE", this shear zone is associated with consecutive gold-in-till anomalies, which continue at least one kilometre northeast from the newly discovered gold mineralization (see Figure 1: https://bit.ly/2qEXl69).

Drill hole 19MJ006 intersected more than 50 metres of a strongly brecciated zone with abundant quartz-tourmaline veining. Gold mineralization averaging 12 g/t Au over 1.95 metres was intersected between 125.75 and 127.9 metres down-hole (including 0.2 metre core loss). This mineralized interval consisted of massive tourmaline-quartz-pyrite veining with more than 50% tourmaline and 10-20% pyrite. Within the same broad breccia zone, a second mineralized zone intersected one metre averaging 2.29 g/t Au between 144.7 and 145.7 metres down-hole. This intercept consisted of a quartz-pyrite vein with ~40% pyrite. A second step-out hole, 19MJ005, was collared 75 metres west-southwest of drill hole 19MJ006. It intersected a similar brecciated zone as seen in hole 19MJ006, although narrower. Assays returned two metres averaging 0.9 g/t Au.

"This drill program has successfully expanded the potential gold footprint of the Mustajärvi Project," commented Carl Löfberg, President and CEO of FireFox Gold. "The shear zone that controls the mineralization identified to date is currently defined over nearly three kilometres in strike and today's reported step out holes give further evidence of the potential this structure holds. Future drilling will test within the new 500-metre step-out to determine the extent of mineralization in the northeastern extent of the shear zone."

An additional three new holes, 19MJ001, 19MJ002 and 19MJ004, were drilled within the Central Zone in order to follow up the high-grade gold interval discovered earlier this year (hole 18MJ002 yielded 2m @ 45 g/t Au; see FireFox new release dated Jan 21, 2019). These new drill holes confirmed the presence of gold veins at predicted depths 25 metres along strike in both directions and 25 metres down-dip.

Drill hole 19MJ001, which targeted gold mineralization 25 metres down-dip of 18MJ002, intersected 0.6 metres averaging 4.5 g/t Au starting from 142.2 metres down hole and an anomalous two metre interval averaging 0.33g/t Au from 107.3 metres down hole. Hole 19MJ002, located 25 metres west of 18MJ002, intersected an anomalous one metre interval averaging 0.64 g/t Au at 117.7 metres, and 0.55 metres averaging 1.27g/t Au from 136.55 metres down hole. Hole 19MJ004, was collared 25 metres east of 18MJ002 and intersected 1.9 metres averaging 1.06g/t Au. Gold mineralization in all three holes was associated with semi-massive pyrite mineralization with accessory quartz and tourmaline.

Quality Assurance

The core was transported from the rig to the Company´s core storage facility in Sodankylä, where the geological and geotechnical logging was conducted, assay intervals selected by FireFox´s exploration team and it was cut in half. Intervals were generally one metre but in some circumstances, were modified according to lithological boundaries and other factors. FireFox geologists maintained chain of custody and sampling procedures reported in this news release according to best industry practice and with due attention to quality assurance and quality control, including the insertion of standard and blank samples. The logged core was then transported to Labtium Laboratory Oy in Sodankylä, Finland, where half core samples were crushed, pulverized and split with a riffle splitter.

The lab performed fire assay for gold on 25 gram aliquots followed by ICP-OES determination (method 704P; detection limit 0.01ppm). In addition, the lab reports a large suite of elements from a subsample that is digested in hot aqua regia and analyzed by ICP-OES and ICP-MS (method 515PM).  The multielement analyses are not completed at the time of this news release. Labtium Laboratory Oy is an independent facility accredited to the SFS-EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 standard. The quality system of Labtium also complies with the requirements of the Standards Council of Canada (CAN-P-1579) "Guidelines for Accreditation of Mineral Analysis Testing Laboratories".
