VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 11, 2024 / FireFox Gold Corp. (TSXV:FFOX)(OTCQB:FFOXF) ("FireFox" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Robb McNaughton, LLB, to its board of directors. Mr. McNaughton is a seasoned attorney specializing in the resources sector, listings, investor activism, and corporate transactions.

Mr. McNaughton has more than twenty years of international corporate and legal experience in a broad array of fields, but in recent years he has become well known as a partner at the Canadian national law firm of Borden Ladner Gervais LLP (BLG). At BLG, he is a leader in the M&A and Capital Markets Group. In addition to his prominent role in listings at both the NEO and TSX exchanges, Robb has garnered a reputation as an innovator in the areas of corporate structure, reverse takeovers, and trusts, among other things. Mr. McNaughton is also a member of the national advisory committee of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The Company also announces that it has retained Agentis Capital Mining Partners ("Agentis") under a financial and capital markets advisory agreement. Agentis is a leading independent advisory and research firm with specialty expertise in exploration and mining.

Mr. McNaughton commented about joining the FireFox board, "Our BLG team has been with FireFox since 2017. I am delighted to be expanding my role with a company that has such compelling properties and such a dynamic and capable team."

FireFox Chairman, Patrick Highsmith, remarked on the additions to the team, "Our portfolio of projects in northern Finland, one of the hotbeds of gold discovery in the world, and our excellent roster of shareholders position us well to grow our company through the drill bit. However, the capital markets and business-to-business environments of today are complex fields of opportunity. We value strong independent voices on our board of directors and among our advisors. We are particularly pleased to welcome Robb to our board, where he offers a fresh perspective, informed from years of diverse experience."
