FireFox Gold Launches Aggressive Exploration Campaign at its Mustajärvi Project, Finland: Diamond Drilling Underway and Bottom-of-Till Sampling Begins in Early September
FireFox Gold (OTCQB:FFOXF) has initiated its largest-ever exploration program at the 100%-controlled Mustajärvi Gold Project in Finland's Lapland Greenstone Belt. The comprehensive campaign includes plans for over 10,000 metres of diamond core drilling through spring 2026, focusing on the Mustajärvi Shear Zone.
The program encompasses infill and step-out drilling at existing mineralized zones, plus bottom-of-till (BoT) sampling at new targets including Mustajärvi West, East, and Pikkulehto. The first drill hole has been positioned 280 metres southwest of the East Zone, targeting electromagnetic anomalies. The company is fully funded for this extensive drilling campaign, which aims to work towards a maiden mineral resource estimate.
The project, located 17 kilometers east of Kittilä, has seen approximately 15,752 metres of drilling to date, revealing three gold mineralization lodes across a 1.5-kilometer strike.FireFox Gold (OTCQB:FFOXF) ha avviato il suo più ampio programma di esplorazione presso il progetto aurifero Mustajärvi, controllato al 100%, nella Lapland Greenstone Belt in Finlandia. La campagna prevede oltre 10.000 metri di perforazioni diamantate fino alla primavera 2026, con focalizzazione sulla Mustajärvi Shear Zone.
Il programma include perforazioni di infill e step-out sulle zone mineralizzate già note e campionamenti bottom-of-till (BoT) su nuovi bersagli come Mustajärvi West, East e Pikkulehto. Il primo foro è stato collocato 280 metri a sud-ovest della East Zone per indagare anomalie elettromagnetiche. La società dispone di finanziamenti completi per questa vasta campagna, mirata a ottenere una prima stima della risorsa mineraria.
Il progetto, situato a 17 chilometri a est di Kittilä, ha già visto circa 15.752 metri di perforazioni, rivelando tre lenti di mineralizzazione aurifera lungo uno strike di 1,5 chilometri.

La campaña integral contempla más de 10.000 metros de perforación diamantina hasta la primavera de 2026, con énfasis en la Mustajärvi Shear Zone.
El programa incluye perforaciones de relleno (infill) y de extensión (step-out) en zonas mineralizadas conocidas, además de muestreos bottom-of-till (BoT) en nuevos objetivos como Mustajärvi West, East y Pikkulehto. El primer pozo se ha ubicado 280 metros al suroeste de la East Zone para investigar anomalías electromagnéticas. La compañía cuenta con financiación completa para esta extensa campaña, que busca avanzar hacia una estimación inicial de recursos minerales.
El proyecto, situado a 17 kilómetros al este de Kittilä, suma aproximadamente 15.752 metros de perforación hasta la fecha, habiendo identificado tres cuerpos mineralizados de oro a lo largo de un rumbo de 1,5 kilómetros.

FireFox Gold (OTCQB:FFOXF) a lancé son plus vaste programme d'exploration à ce jour sur le projet aurifère Mustajärvi, entièrement contrôlé à 100%, dans le Lapland Greenstone Belt en Finlande. La campagne complète prévoit plus de 10 000 mètres de forage carotté diamant jusqu'au printemps 2026, en se concentrant sur la Mustajärvi Shear Zone.
Le programme comprend des forages d'infill et de step-out sur des zones déjà minéralisées, ainsi que des prélèvements bottom-of-till (BoT) sur de nouvelles cibles telles que Mustajärvi West, East et Pikkulehto. Le premier trou a été positionné à 280 mètres au sud-ouest de la East Zone pour cibler des anomalies électromagnétiques. La société est entièrement financée pour cette campagne de forage étendue, visant à progresser vers une première estimation des ressources minérales.

SODANKYLÄ, FINLAND / / August 28, 2025 / FireFox Gold Corp. (TSXV:FFOX)(OTCQB:FFOXF) ("FireFox" or the "Company") is pleased to report that it has launched what it expects to be the largest and most comprehensive exploration program in the Company's history at its
The drilling at Mustajärvi will be a mix of infill and step out drilling at existing mineralized zones, and it will test some of the new targets both proximal and distal to the main mineralized structures. There has been very little drilling between the three mineralized lodes discovered by the team between 2018 and 2022 (the Central, Northeast, and East Zones), and there is also very little drilling beneath 230 metres, where strong mineralization was reported in 2023 and 2024 (See Company news releases dated and ). As the Company reported in its news release, an electrical geophysics survey identified numerous conductive zones in and around the East Zone that may indicate the presence of abundant pyrite, which is often associated with high-grade gold on the property. The first hole of the 2025 drill program has been collared approximately 280 metres southwest from the centre of the East Zone, directed at one of the electromagnetic anomalies (see Figure 2).
Carl Lofberg, FireFox's CEO, commented about the commencement of the drilling campaign, "We are very pleased that our most ambitious exploration program yet at Mustajärvi is off to a smooth start, with the first new drill hole well underway. We are fully funded for more than 10,000 metres of drilling, and we expect to be drilling almost continuously between now and June of 2026, as we work towards a maiden mineral resource estimate. As always, our team is also keeping the pipeline full of new targets at other projects as well, so we do expect to conduct some diamond drilling at Sarvi and Jeesiö. We'll provide an update on the other properties in our portfolio in September."

Mustajärvi Project and Drill Program Summary
The Mustajärvi Project lies along the highway between the cities of Kittilä and Sodankylä, approximately 17 kilometres east of Kittilä. The project remains at an early stage as FireFox and predecessor companies have only drilled approximately 15,752 metres to date, and drilling has delineated three different lodes of gold mineralization along more than 1.5 kilometres of strike so far. Due to its near-surface high-grade nature, the Company has been focusing most recently on the East Zone.
To date, most of the mineralization identified at Mustajärvi is hosted in metasedimentary rocks that have been intensely altered with albite, sericite, local silicification, sulfidation, iron carbonates, and/or cut by quartz-carbonate veining. The highest grades of gold are associated with quartz-carbonate-tourmaline-pyrite (QCTP) veins, hydrothermal breccias, or semi-massive to massive pyrite controlled by foliations. Gold is sometimes enriched at or near the contact with ultramafic rocks, either intrusive mafic rocks or thin volcanics, but these mafic intrusive units are only rarely important hosts of gold. The mineralized mafic dikes and sills are usually intensely albitized with disseminated pyrite and cut by quartz-carbonate or QCTP veins.
