This 6-K filing provides the Management Information Circular for First Mining Gold's upcoming Annual General Meeting, outlining routine governance matters such as director elections and auditor re-appointment. More importantly, it details the company's executive and director compensation for the past year and new equity grants issued in Q1 2026. These include salary increases for all Named Executive Officers (NEOs) retroactive to January 1, 2026, and significant grants of stock options, Restricted Share Units (RSUs), Performance Share Units (PSUs), and Deferred Share Units (DSUs) to both NEOs and non-executive directors. While these grants are part of a standard compensation plan, they represent a notable amount of potential future dilution and are important for investors to understand management incentives and overall corporate overhead.
