FireFox Gold Corp. (TSXV:FFOX) has received positive final results from its 2021 – 2022 drilling programme at the company’s 100%-held Mustajärvi Gold Project in Lapland, Finland.
The last two core holes (22MJ017 and 22MJ018) tested the East Target which hosts the best drill hole to date from the project: 13.85 metres averaging 14.39 g/t gold in 22MJ006. Both of these drill holes encountered significant gold mineralisation, sometimes coming to surface beneath thin glacial sediments.
Hole 22MJ018 returned multiple significant gold intervals starting near-surface and continuing to depths of approximately 80 metres, an extension of nearly 50 metres down-plunge from previous drilling at this location. The aggregate intercepts, grade-thickness of gold mineralisation in this hole is more than 110 gram-metres.
FireFox has now drilled six holes into three different target areas at Mustajärvi with > 90 gram-metres of gold mineralisation. These intercepts occur along more than 1.5km strike of the shear zone.
Highlight intercepts:
- 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, including
- 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, including
- 1.7m at 11.19 g/t Au from 77.20m depth.
“These results cap off a very successful program at Mustajärvi that has seen us drill many new gold intervals including three new +100 gram-metre holes,” Carl Löfberg, President of FireFox Gold, said.
“While our structural model holds up well in the East Target, the team has also noted some potentially important changes in host rock and alteration. The strike length of the system is impressive and each round of drilling yields high-grade gold intercepts. We are hard at work on the evolving interpretation of the results and planning for more drilling in the last quarter of the year.”
