FireFox Gold Provides Corporate Update From Carl Löfberg, President and CEO

VANCOUVER, April 9, 2020 /CNW/ - FireFox Gold Corp. (TSX-V: FFOX) ("FireFox" or the "Company").

Dear Investor,

We hope this update finds you and your family in good health. We are pleased to report that the FireFox team and extended family are well, enthusiastic about the upcoming bull market in gold, and anxious to get to the field in Finland.

The future of FireFox Gold's operations has not changed.  The gold market is strong, and we believe it is headed for an extraordinary period.  FireFox is well positioned to help feed the appetite for gold discovery. 

We remain focused on the under-explored Central Lapland Greenstone Belt, where we believe our large land package is ripe for discovery.  FireFox is among the largest holders of mineral exploration rights in Lapland, where four junior companies and one major effectively control the entire belt.

In March, we attended the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada annual conference in Toronto and exhibited for the first time, hosting very good traffic.  As recently as five or six years ago, there was only one major gold company in Finland, Agnico Eagle Mines Limited.  Today there are five mid-tier to major gold companies exploring in Finland or looking for projects and partners.  We held many meetings and are well regarded for our large, strategic property position and our unparalleled strength on the ground – Finnish geologists, Finnish management, and an extraordinary network in our home country. 

The winter season will end in April, and May is the melt season in Finnish Lapland, when on-the-ground exploration generally pauses. The summer field season effectively begins in June after two metres of snow has melted and conditions dry up. For this reason, the COVID-19 pandemic has not dramatically affected FireFox's field work in Lapland. Currently, our technical team is working on processing data from our previous programs, and preparing detailed plans for the summer session. We aim to be back in the field commencing in June and will keep you updated on that goal as we get closer.

We will focus much of the 2020 work in the Utsamo area, located between Aurion's Risti and Launi Gold Projects, approximately 15 kilometres from the town of Sodankylä. This Risti – Utsamo – Launi gold corridor tracks through our Jeesiö Project, associated with the Sirkka Shear Zone.   We have numerous indications of gold in till and float samples at Utsamo, as well as potentially favorable host rocks and structural targets beneath shallow glacial sediments. The program in this area is likely to include additional geophysics, bottom-of-till sampling, and mapping and sampling to delineate drill targets.   For a summary of the most recent work at all our projects, I refer you to our website (www.firefoxgold.com) where we post our updated presentations.

Like many of you, my family is living in some form of partial lock-down, but our office is a four-minute walk from home, and I am still able to work there every day.  My wife has been home schooling our five kids, so it's a team effort, but we are fortunate that life isn't too far from normal, apart from the lack of international travel.  Be there for your loved ones and try to be productive every day – good rules to live by even in the best of times.  We wish you and yours health and success in everything you do. 

I look forward to speaking or meeting with many of you in the coming days.  Please also feel free to contact us directly.  You can find our contact details below.

Sincerely yours,

"Carl Löfberg"
