• Springpole Federal EA Approved

  A critical regulatory milestone was reached on June 30, 2026, when the federal Minister of the Environment approved the Springpole Gold Project, a 4.8M oz gold deposit. The provincial EA decision remains pending after the public comment period ended July 31, 2026.

• Indigenous Agreements Finalized

  Term sheet agreements were signed with Cat Lake, Lac Seul, and Slate Falls Nations, outlining key terms for project agreements and including a commitment of up to C$4M for an all-season access road.

• Cash Position C$37.3M, Working Capital C$18.7M

  Cash and equivalents totaled C$37.3M as of June 30, 2026, down from C$43.3M at year-end 2025, primarily due to C$17.9M in mineral property expenditures. Working capital of C$18.7M provides near-term liquidity.

• Silver Stream Liability Rises to C$124.8M (Non-Cash)

  Driven by changes in silver forward curves and FX rates, the fair value of the Silver Stream derivative liability increased by C$17.6M to C$124.8M. This is a non-cash mark-to-market adjustment, not new dilution or cash outflow.

A pivotal quarter for First Mining Gold is captured in its Q2 2026 filing. The Springpole Gold Project secured federal environmental assessment approval on June 30, 2026—a major de-risking event that clears a critical regulatory hurdle for one of Canada's largest undeveloped gold deposits. Advancing social license, the company also finalized term sheet agreements with three First Nations. Financially, cash stands at C$37.3M against working capital of C$18.7M, but the non-cash Silver Stream derivative liability ballooned to C$124.8M due to mark-to-market adjustments, not new dilution. The net loss of C$7.9M was driven by this non-cash charge and equity losses from associates. Bolstering liquidity, the sale of Cameron Gold and the Pickle Crow buy-down brought in C$8M in cash. With C$3.6M in flow-through spending due by year-end and ongoing feasibility work, the company's runway appears adequate near-term, though the rising derivative liability and lack of revenue underscore the pre-production risk.
