FireFox Gold Adds Deeper Mineralization at the Northeast Zone and Extends the East Zone at the Mustajarvi Project, Finland

By

-- FireFox Gold (FFOX.V) reported additional assay results and observations from the ongoing drill program at the company's 100%-held Mustajarvi Gold Project in Lapland, Finland, on Tuesday.

Drill hole 26MJ005 at the Northeast Zone tested for deeper extensions of a high-grade gold zone (first reported in 2021) and intersected 11.0 metres at 4.9 g/t gold from 301.5 metres downhole, said the company and added that the hole also hit several other lower grade intervals, opening the southern and deeper parts of the Northeast Zone for more follow-up drilling.

In step-out drilling at the East Zone, drill hole 26MJ004 extended the zone by 50 metres to the northeast with intercepts such as 3.0 metres at 1.51 g/t gold, 4.3 metres at 1.5 g/t gold, and 3.2 metres at 1.12 g/t gold - all from less than 100 metres depth, it further noted. The company added three more holes with narrow lower grade intercepts from grid drilling on the south side of the East Zone, it said.

"FireFox drilling has also moved into the gap between the East and Northeast Zones, where two holes have just been logged, sampled, and sent for assay," said the company. "Company geologists have documented the presence of visible gold at a depth of 112.3 metres in one of these holes (26MJ012)."

In 26MJ010, the drill encountered semi-massive to massive pyrite mineralized quartz breccia over 6.0 metres beginning immediately below thin glacial overburden, the company said and added that such quartz-pyrite breccias commonly contain significant gold at the Mustajarvi project.

"The Company cautions, however, that assays are not yet available for these intervals, so there can be no assurance of significant gold mineralization in these two drill holes," it stated.

"Our team is doing an incredible job moving the drill around the Mustajarvi property, both filling in the grid around the discovery zones and testing far flung exploration targets," said Carl Lofberg, FireFox's Chief Executive Officer.

This work is part of the ongoing diamond drill program at Mustajarvi, which is expected to exceed 10,000 metres before the end of spring 2026, said the company and added that 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.

Research Alert: Iqvia: Encouraging Q1 Results, Eps Guidance Raised Modestly

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:IQVIA reported Q1 2026 revenue of $4,151M (+8.4% Y/Y), led by robust Commercial Solutions growth (+11.6% Y/Y) and steady R&D Solutions performance (+6.2% Y/Y). Adjusted EPS of $2.90 (+7.4% Y/Y) exceeded guidance and beat consensus by $0.08. R&D Solutions bookings were encouraging, in our view, with net new bookings of $2.5B generating a book-to-bill ratio of 1.04x amid what management described as a stabilizing biopharmaceutical market. IQV raised 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $12.65-$12.95 (up $0.10 at the midpoint) while reaffirming revenue and EBITDA guidance. The contracted backlog of $34.2B supports revenue visibility, with $8.9B expected to convert over the next twelve months (+7.6% Y/Y), though EBITDA margin declined to 22.5% from 23.1%. We view mid-to-high single digit growth in forward-looking demand indicators as suggesting continued client momentum, while the company maintained flexibility with $552M in share repurchases and 15% FCF growth to $491M.

Research Alert: Ldos Q1: Revenue Beat And Strong Cash Flow Counter Margin Compression

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:LDOS delivered solid Q1 results with adjusted EPS of $3.13 vs $2.97 prior year, beating consensus by $0.22. Revenue grew 4% Y/Y (+3% organic) to $4.40B, exceeding estimates by $110M, driven by Intelligence, commercial energy infrastructure, and air traffic management demand. The quarter's standout performance was exceptional cash generation, with operating cash flow reaching $301M vs $58M prior year and free cash flow improving to $270M from $36M, delivering 67% conversion driven by solid EBITDA generation and effective working capital management. However, adjusted EBITDA margin contracted 20 bps to 14.0% due to acquisition-related costs. Net bookings of $3.3B resulted in quarterly book-to-bill of 0.8x, though trailing-12-month ratio remained healthy at 1.1x. Total backlog reached $48.4B with funded backlog of $9.6B, representing 4% and 31% Y/Y growth respectively, providing enhanced revenue visibility going forward.
