(\"First Mining\" or the \"Company\") (TSX:FF)(OTCQX:FFMGF)(FRA:FMG) is pleased to announce new drilling results from the 2024 Phase 3 diamond drilling program at its Duparquet Gold Project (\"Duparquet Project\" or the \"Project\") located in Quebec, Canada. These new drill results further define resource expansion opportunities at an under-tested area termed the Valentre target (\"Valentre\"), where follow-up drilling is now taking place. Drilling continues on priority targets at the Project where a second drill rig is planned to mobilize in September, allowing First Mining to test regional exploration targets while concurrently advancing recent exploration discoveries at the North Zone (see news release dated June 18, 2024), Buzz (see news release dated February 22, 2024) and Valentre.Recent drilling at Valentre has returned positive drill intercepts from an area of 175 m of strike length that is under tested and envisioned to establish mineralization continuity within a key area of the project. Highlights of the recent drilling include 3.98 g/t Au over 8.70 m (DUP24-026), and 1.82 g/t Au over 14.35 m (DUP24-027), demonstrating both encouraging grades and widths within an area of potential resource growth and further exploration opportunities.\"We continue to execute on an exploration plan that clearly demonstrates the resource growth potential at Duparquet, already one of the largest undeveloped gold projects in Canada\" stated Dan Wilton, CEO of First Mining. \"The success at Valentre is a tangible result of the hard work our exploration team has put into understanding the geology at Duparquet over the past two years and gives First Mining confidence in continued exploration success at this robust project.\"The Phase 3 drill program commenced in April with a total of approximately 5,700 m completed to date. This program aims to test priority targets focusing on multiple potential resource expansion zones across the Duparquet Project. T...
