FireFox Gold Expands the Northeast Zone, including 54.91 g/t Gold over 1.95 Metres in 95 Metre Step-out at Mustajärvi Gold Project, FinlandSODANKYLÄ, FINLAND / ACCESS Newswire / February 9, 2026 / FireFox Gold Corp. (TSX.V:FFOX)(OTCQB:FFOXF) ("FireFox" or the "Company") is pleased to report results from three additional holes of its 2025/26 diamond drilling program at the Company's 100%-held Mustajärvi Gold Project ("Mustajärvi"or the "Project") in Lapland, Finland. These holes generally come from the north side of the Northeast and East Zones. Drill hole 25MJ009 stepped out almost 100 metres from the high-grade intercepts at the Northeast Zone (NEZ) to test for continuation along the shear zone (see Figure 1). The hole intersected several high-grade gold-mineralized intervals, including:1.95 metres averaging 54.91 g/t Au from 102.75 metres, including 1.05 metres at 101 g/t Au; and3.0 metres averaging 7.75 g/t Au from184.80 metres, including 1.0 metre at 18.65 g/t Au.The drill hole also encountered some lower grade intercepts that are atypical for Mustajärvi, including14.4 metres at 0.75 g/t Au from 68.40 metres depth and 2.9 metres at 1.23 g/t Au from 95.50 metres depth.Drill hole 25MJ011 also intercepted some strong gold mineralization farther northeast along the shear zone. Collared almost 400 metres east of 25MJ009, 25MJ011 cut 1.25 metres averaging 8.17 g/t Au from 41.50 metres downhole, including 0.65 metres at 14.05 g/t Au. Drillhole 25MJ010 was drilled in a southeasterly direction, potentially almost parallel to a targeted fault zone. It did not return significant gold mineralization.Carl Löfberg, FireFox's CEO, commented about the new results, "These new drill results from Mustajärvi come from the north side of the system, in a gap between the Northeast and East Zones. The most important element of this news is that drill hole 25MJ009 hit significant high-grade mineralization that extends the Northeast Zone well into this gap. We believe two fault zones may come together in this target area, so additional drilling in this gap area will be driven by our geophysics and structural model. We are excited to continue the drilling and improve our models, as we advance toward the first mineral resource estimate at Mustajärvi."This work is part of the ongoing diamond drill program at Mustajärvi, which is expected to exceed 10,000 metres before the end of spring 2026. The program mixes infill and step-out drilling at existing mineralized zones and tests some new targets both proximal and distal to the main mineralized structures. The team has now completed the first two rounds of drilling, including 30 drill holes totalling 7,662.2 metres. Logging of drill core is ongoing, and assays are pending for the remaining 19 drill holes. The team is planning the third round of drilling, which is expected to commence by mid-March 2026.Mustajärvi Project and Drill Program SummaryThe Mustajärvi Project lies along the highway between the cities of Kittilä and Sodankylä, approximately 17 kilometres east of Kittilä. The Project remains at an early stage as FireFox and predecessor companies have drilled approximately 15,752 metres prior to commencement of the current program, and drilling has so far delineated three different lodes of gold mineralization along more than 1.5 kilometres of strike.Figure 1. Drill Holes 25MJ009 - 25MJ011 at the Mustajärvi Project, Northeast and East Zones. Drill hole 25MJ009 was drilled 95 metres east of previous NEZ drilling that returned high-grade gold intercepts (see the Company's news release dated September 9, 2021). The hole was collared farther north than would have been preferred, in order to offset from the highway right-of-way. The goal was to confirm that mineralization continued towards the East Zone as suggested by the low-magnetic corridor, which is interpreted as part of the Mustajärvi Shear zone.This drill hole was well mineralized, intersecting several stacked gold-bearing intervals. The shallower intervals include a zone of 14.4 metres that averaged 0.75 g/t Au from 68.4 metres downhole. This interval was hosted in highly deformed and fractured metasedimentary rocks with common quartz-carbonate- tourmaline-pyrite veins. Disseminated pyrite and specularite are also commonly associated with these lower grade intervals. Taken together, these zones in the upper portion of the hole that average around 1.0 g/t gold or less are atypical for the Mustajärvi deposit. In previous drilling, Company geologists have noted significant widths of lower grade gold mineralization on the flanks of higher-grade zones or in holes that could be classified as "near misses" of the high-grade structurally controlled mineralization.At 102.75 metres downhole, the drill cut narrow high-grade mineralization, an interval of 1.95 metres averaging 54.91 g/t Au, including 1.05 metres at 101 g/t Au. This was related to a quartz-tourmaline-pyrite vein where the pyrite occurs as semi-massive bands and patches wi
