Firefox Gold Closes Second and Remaining Tranche of Non-Brokered Personal Placement

The strongest intercepts from each new holes are highlighted beneath, and extra particulars are offered in Desk 1:

• 22MJ017: 1.0m at 9.42g/t Au from 70.7m depth;
• 22MJ018: 11.6m at 5.06 g/t Au from 10.3m depth, together with
  • 4.2m at 10.60 g/t Au from 17.7m depth;
• 22MJ018: 4.6m at 7.91 g/t Au from 77.2m depth, together with
  • 1.7m at 11.19 g/t Au from 77.20m depth.

“These outcomes cap off a really profitable program at Mustajärvi that has seen us drill many new gold intervals together with three new +100 gram-metre holes,” commented Carl Löfberg, President of FireFox Gold. “Whereas our structural mannequin holds up effectively within the East Goal, the crew has additionally famous some doubtlessly necessary modifications in host rock and alteration. The strike size of the system is spectacular and every spherical of drilling yields high-grade gold intercepts. We’re exhausting at work on the evolving interpretation of the outcomes and planning for extra drilling within the final quarter of the 12 months.”

Mustajärvi Challenge and Drill Program Particulars

The Mustajärvi Challenge lies alongside the freeway between the cities of Kittilä and Sodankylä, roughly 17 kilometres east of Kittilä. The property straddles the Mustajärvi Shear Zone (MSZ), a significant right-lateral shear zone that has related second and third-order constructions which additional dissect the undertaking into separate structural zones. The Sodankylä Group rocks, that are primarily to the north of the shear zone within the footwall, embrace metamorphosed sedimentary and volcaniclastic rocks. Geophysics and drilling have recognized an intensive hall of albite – sericite alteration within the footwall alongside greater than two kilometres of the construction. The undertaking stays at an early stage as FireFox and predecessor corporations have drilled roughly 11,644 metres thus far.

FireFox’s structural mannequin recognized repetitive dilatant zones alongside the MSZ the place vein swarms and higher-grade gold are concentrated. Three principal areas of gold with vital mineralization have been recognized alongside a 2.1-kilometre phase of the MSZ, specifically the Central Zone, the Northeast Goal, and the Jap Goal. The lately accomplished drill program at Mustajärvi included 23 diamond drill holes for a complete of 4,624 metres between October and Might, which included drilling on the Northeast Goal and the lately reported drill checks on the Central Zone and Gabbro Goal, however a lot of the main focus was on the newly found East Goal.

The ultimate two drill holes of the marketing campaign have been collared within the East Goal (see Determine 1) and returned vital gold intervals as proven in Desk 1 and described beneath.

The East Goal mineralization reveals in depth albite – sericite alteration, as is typical alongside the MSZ, however iron oxide and iron carbonate veining is extra frequent on this jap a part of Mustajärvi. Much like beforehand reported holes from the East Goal, the gold mineralization is related to fractures and impregnation of partially oxidized pyrite alongside fractures, forming blebs, nests, disseminated and semi-massive mineralization inside the host rock. The deeper mineralized intervals embrace the extra typical quartz-carbonate-tourmaline-pyrite (QCTP) vein fashion of mineralization generally seen at Mustajärvi.

Drill gap 22MJ018 was a twin gap designed to check for depth continuation of gold mineralization recognized in drill gap 22MJ011, which was drilled to solely 33 metres utilizing a lightweight hybrid drill rig. That gap intersected three vital gold intervals and resulted in a 2-metre interval of semi-massive pyrite mineralization that assayed 5.11 g/t Au and was strongly enriched in silver (Ag), bismuth (Bi), tellurium (Te), selenium (Se), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), and tungsten (W) (see Firm information Launch dated July 13, 2022).

Drill gap 22MJ018 was collared in skinny glacial sediments overlying intensely altered intermediate tuffites and intersected gold mineralization instantly beneath the glacial cowl beginning at 10.3 m down-hole. Like its predecessor 22MJ011, this gap returned a number of gold intervals within the prime 35 metres, together with 11.6 m averaging 5.06 g/t Au. The very best-grade intercept was 1.3 m at 21.3 g/t Au from 17.7 m depth. As well as, the opening efficiently confirmed that gold mineralization continues previous the depth of the earlier gap by no less than 46 metres. The truth is, the higher 80 metres of the drill gap included a complete of 16 assay intervals exceeding 1.0 g/t gold.

The near-surface high-grade gold mineralization is related to robust enrichment of Co, Ni and Te. The opening intersected semi-massive and large pyrite intervals that returned 8.1m averaging 0.17% Co from 13.8m depth and a couple of.3m averaging 0.37% Co from 17.7m depth, together with 1.3m averaging 0.46% Co from 17.7m depth.

At roughly 85 metres depth, this drill gap encountered a zone of intensely altered ultramafic volcanic rocks. The ultramafic rocks have been solely weakly anomalous in gold, however a 4.6 metre interval simply above the ultramafics averaged 7.91 g/t gold. This affiliation of disseminated pyrite and fuchsite (a inexperienced mica containing elevated chromium) in ultramafic rocks with close by gold is famous at quite a few different gold occurrences in Lapland, in addition to different greenstone belts world wide. FireFox geologists have now famous the altered ultramafic rocks in a number of of the holes within the East Goal.

Drill gap 22MJ017 was collared 70 metres to the southeast from drill gap 22MJ018, additionally in skinny glacial sediments (roughly 8.8 metres thick) and handed shortly into unaltered ultramafic volcanic rock. It was designed to check an interpreted magnetic low and attainable splay within the MSZ. Drilling handed again into the intermediate tuffites, that are generally albite-sericite altered and variably veined. One of many QCTP veins at roughly 70.7 metres downhole contained 9.42 g/t gold over 1.0 metre.

Deeper within the gap, faulting seems to extend, and the rock is usually mylonitized. Skinny models of mafic to ultramafic volcanics dominate the lithology beneath 125 metres depth, typically lower by veins of varied composition. There are a number of intervals of silica carbonate alteration with variable fuchsite, disseminated pyrite, and (uncommon) chalcopyrite. As soon as once more, the ample mylonite reducing chrome-altered mafic and ultramafic rocks seem to underly the gold mineralization within the East Goal.

Methodology & High quality Assurance

The core was transported from the rig to the Firm´s core storage facility in Sodankylä, the place FireFox’s exploration crew carried out the geological and geotechnical logging and chosen the assay intervals. Assay intervals have been typically 1 metre however in some circumstances have been modified in accordance with lithological boundaries and different elements. FireFox geologists maintained chain of custody and sampling procedures in accordance with finest business apply and with due consideration to high quality assurance and high quality management, together with sampling discipline duplicates and insertion of licensed normal and clean samples.

FireFox crew members transported the samples to an ALS pattern prep lab in Sodankylä. The samples have been sawed then crushed to -2 mm, cut up and pulverized into 1kg pulps, earlier than being shipped to the ALS facility in Rosia Montana, Romania for gold by fireplace assay of fifty gm aliquots with AAS end (technique Au-AA24). Chosen samples have been assayed with a 1,000 gram Au-SCR24 technique (display screen fireplace assays). Different components, altogether 48, have been measured after four-acid digestion by ICP-AES and ICP-MS (technique ME-MS61) on the ALS facility positioned in Loughrea, Eire.
