VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 24, 2020 /CNW/ - FireFox Gold Corp.
("FireFox" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that renowned
exploration geologist Dr. Quinton
Hennigh has joined its Technical Advisory Board.
Dr. Hennigh joins a team of senior explorers from Finland and North America. The Technical
Advisory Board also includes Dr. Rich
Goldfarb, a founding FireFox team member, and one of the
most published researchers in the world on orogenic gold deposits.
The technical team from GoldSpot Discoveries Corp. (TSXV: SPOT)
("GoldSpot") has also been in the field with FireFox geologists
during the summer. These external experts will continue to work
closely with Dr. Petri Peltonen,
FireFox's exploration manager, and technical directors,
Timo Maki and Patrick Highsmith.
Dr. Hennigh began his distinguished career in gold exploration
after obtaining his PhD in Geology/Geochemistry from the
Colorado School of Mines. After working
with major gold companies such as Newcrest Mining and Newmont
Mining, Dr. Hennigh founded Novo Resources Corp (TSXV: NVO), acting
as its CEO and currently serving as Chairman. Among his notable
project involvements are First Mining Gold's Springpole gold
deposit in Ontario, Kirkland Lake Gold's acquisition of the
Fosterville gold mine in
Australia, the Rattlesnake Hills
gold deposit in Wyoming, and Lion
One's Tuvatu gold project on Fiji,
among many others.
"We are excited to welcome Quinton to the FireFox team. He is
among the most focused and creative explorers in our
business," commented Patrick
Highsmith, Chairman of FireFox. "The Central Lapland
Greenstone Belt is an emerging gold terrane with analogies to other
important orogenic gold belts, but only now are we seeing
sufficient geophysics, geochemistry, structural geology, and
drilling to unlock the next wave of discoveries. It is perfect
timing to integrate the ideas from Goldspot and our Technical
Advisory Board ahead of our planned winter drill program."
