Drills 93.88 G/T Au Over 1.35M At Mustajärvi Project
FireFox Gold Corp. (TSX.V: FFOX) (OTCQB: FFOXF) has completed the expanded 11 hole Phase 4 diamond drill programme (2,364 metres) at its 100%-owned Mustajärvi Project in the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt of Finland.
The early assay results for the first three holes of the programme include highlight hole 21MJ001 which yielded 1.35m averaging 93.88 g/t gold, including 0.65m at 129.5 g/t gold. This interval was previously reported to host visible gold in a quartz-carbonate-tourmaline (QCT) vein with abundant pyrite. With two additional high-grade gold intervals of 5.27 g/t and 26.9 g/t, this drill hole included a total of more than 150 gram – metres of gold.
Near surface high-grade intervals were encountered in both of the first two holes of the programme. These drill holes extend high-grade gold in the Northeast Target by an additional 150m along strike to the northeast. This newly discovered veining and alteration occurs at depths less than 200m below surface and remains open down dip and to the northeast.
CEO and President, Carl Löfberg, said the FireFox team is anxious to follow up with closely spaced drilling to test this new high-grade zone, the richest yet discovered at Mustajärvi.
“Since 2018 we have methodically built up our knowledge of the geology and structure, vectoring towards the heart of this high-grade gold at Mustajärvi,” Mr Löfberg said.
“Our modelling is clearly paying off, and we are thrilled that the initial hole in the 2021 drill programme has resulted in the first 100-gram-metre interval at the project.
“The Northeast Target is proving to be very exciting, and we look forward to results from the remaining two holes in this area, as well as the step-outs farther northeast along the shear zone.”
Upon completion of this 11-hole drill programme, FireFox has now drilled approximately 6,250 metres at Mustajärvi, emphasising the still-early stage of technical work on this project that has consistently yielded near-surface intercepts of gold above 10 g/t.
