Firesteel Resources Inc. Extends Investor Outreach by Listing on Frankfurt Stock Exchange Symbol 2FN
Vancouver, November 10, 2017 - FIRESTEEL RESOURCES INC. (TSX-V: FTR) ("Firesteel" or the "Company") today announced that it in its continued efforts to reach out to Europe based investors, it has listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange ("FSE") under the symbol 2FN. The company will maintain its primary listing on the TSX Venture Exchange. In future Firesteel's announcement will be disseminated to the European investment community by FSE. The Frankfurt Stock Exchange is one of the world's largest organized exchange-trading markets in terms of turnover and dealings in securities (behind the Nasdaq and New York Stock Exchanges). This European listing will help to increase the Company's trading liquidity and facilitate investment in Firesteel by European investors. Through the Frankfurt listing major European financial hubs such as Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, Luxembourg, Lichtenstein, Monaco, and others will be easily reached.
Michael Hepworth, President and CEO of Firesteel said: "Having recently returned from a marketing tour in Europe, I can confidently say that a Frankfurt listing is important to European investors. Having met with a number of large investors as well as regular retail investors, the FTR story was well received and there is much anticipation around the upcoming financing of US$20.6 million via a gold forward sale. We are working hard to get the final few legal details put in place so that the definitive agreement can be signed."
About the Company
Firesteel is an exploration-stage junior mining company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of prospective precious and base metal properties in Canada and stable jurisdictions around the world. Firesteel is currently working to evolve from an exploration company to becoming a junior producer.
On April 7, 2017, Firesteel first announced the signing of heads of agreement with Nordic Mines AB to form a joint venture to operate and eventually acquire 100% of Nordic Mines Marknad, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nordic Mines AB. Nordic Mines Marknad owns 100% of Nordic Mines OY, the operator of the fully permitted and past producing Laiva Mine near Raahe in Finland.
Firesteel recently completed an updated 43-101 resource estimate prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 guidelines and CIM standards (Firesteel Press release dated August 21, 2017). The results of that study include:
Laiva Open Pit Constrained Mineral Resource Estimate
| Classification | Au g/t | Tonnes | Contained Au (troy ozs) |
| Measured | 1.132 | 355,000 | 13,000 |
| Indicated | 1.248 | 3,442,000 | 138,000 |
| Measured + Indicated | 1.237 | 3,797,000 | 151,000 |
| Inferred | 1.531 | 9,030,000 | 445,000 |
The mineral resources presented here were estimated using a block model with a block size of 9 m by 9 m by 9 m sub-blocked to a minimum of 3 m by 3 m by 3 m using ID3 methods for grade estimation. All mineral resources are reported using a pit constrained gold cut-off of 0.40 g/t Au.
Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues.
-Nordic Mines OY
-Historical expenditures estimated at over EUR200,000,000
-250 tonne per hour autogenous Outotec mill
-Cyanide leaching circuit
-First dore cast in 2011
-Conventional open pit mine
-Excellent local infrastructure
-2 additional early stage gold properties in Finland.
Disclosure: Companies typically rely on comprehensive feasibility reports on mineral reserve estimates to reduce the risks and uncertainties associated with a production decision. The Company has not completed a feasibility study on, nor has the Company completed a mineral reserve estimate at the Laiva Mine and as such the financial and technical viability is deemed to have higher risk than if this work had been completed. Based on historical engineering and geological reports, historical production data and current engineering work completed or in process by Firesteel, the Company intends to move forward with the development of this asset.
The Company further cautions that it is not basing any production decision on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability, and therefore there is a much greater risk of failure associated with its production decision. In addition, readers are cautioned that inferred mineral resources are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves.
Firesteel currently has one highly prospective property in British Colombia.
The Star property is currently operated under a Joint Venture agreement between Firesteel (49%) and Prosper Gold. (TSX-V: PGX) (51%).
