SODANKYLÄ, FINLAND / ACCESS Newswire / January 12, 2026 / FireFox Gold Corp. (TSX.V:FFOX)(OTCQB:FFOXF)("FireFox" or the "Company") is pleased to share an exploration update from its 100%-held Mustajärvi Gold Project in Lapland, Finland. New drill targets have emerged well away from previously reported high-grade drill results in the Northeast and East Zones. The new targets are based on new gold anomalies in base-of-till (BoT) sampling and geophysical anomalies, both of which correlate with attractive structural settings and other favourable indicators. Perhaps most significant, one new BoT sample returned more than 100 g/t gold in an undrilled area near a major structural intersection two kilometres southwest from any previous drilling. FireFox will be targeting this area and the new geophysical anomalies with new drilling as part of its ongoing Mustajärvi drill program.
