First Mining Provides Update on Springpole Gold Project

By

First Mining Gold (FF.TO) has voluntarily agreed to a short extension to the environmental assessment decision date on the Springpole Gold Project, until June 30, 2026, following discussions with the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada, the company said Thursday.

The original IAAC decision date on the Springpole Project was May 22, 2026, and the extension will provide IAAC additional time to complete the final EA report, it noted.

Cat Lake and Lac Seul First Nations have completed their independent Anishinaabe Led Impact Assessment (ALIA) on the Springpole Project, said First Mining, adding it supported them in doing that. The communities are preparing to vote, based on the findings of the ALIA, on June 4, 2026, First Mining noted. "The short extension will allow the communities to continue working with the provincial and federal government to achieve the necessary measures to ensure they can meaningfully participate in the Project," the company added.

Shares in FF were down $0.02 or near 4.2% at $0.46 in Canada yesterday.
