Dr. Quinton
Hennigh Joins FireFox Gold Technical Advisory Board
VANCOUVER, BC, Canada -- September 24,
2020 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- 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."
