FireFox Gold Expands the East Zone to the Southwest with Ongoing Grid Drilling at the Mustajarvi Gold Project, Finland

FireFox Gold announced on 9 April 2026 that drilling in the Mustajärvi East Zone has been extended southwestward with seven new holes (25MJ016‑25MJ022). The intercepts include several high‑grade intervals:

• 5.0 m @ 6.29 g/t Au (incl. 1 m @ 24.9 g/t)
• 13.0 m @ 4.57 g/t Au (incl. 3 m @ 11.66 g/t)
• 3.0 m @ 12.07 g/t Au (incl. 1 m @ 29.2 g/t)

Drilling now covers ~400 m × 250 m, with spacing of ~50 m and total depth drilled at Mustajärvi reaching 21,443 m. The CEO reiterated that the East Zone remains open in multiple directions and at depth.

• Expectation vs. outcome: The company had previously signaled that the East Zone was open to the southwest and that step‑out drilling would test continuity. The new intercepts confirm this expectation but do not dramatically exceed prior grades or widths.
• Market reaction potential: Because the results are consistent with earlier high‑grade, shallow‑to‑mid‑depth mineralization, they are unlikely to trigger a sizable re‑rating. They reinforce the existing resource development narrative and may provide modest upside for risk‑averse investors.
• Comparison to prior news: Earlier releases (Oct 2025 – Feb 2026) already highlighted high‑grade hits (e.g., 13.75 g/t over 12.4 m, 32.25 g/t over 7.6 m). The latest drill results are of similar magnitude; therefore the news is incremental rather than a breakthrough.

Conclusion: The announcement is Routine – Positive: it adds confidence to the project but does not materially change valuation assumptions.
