(\"First Mining\" or the \"Company\") (TSX:FF)(OTCQX:FFMGF)(FRANKFURT:FMG) is pleased to announce the latest results from the 2019 - 2020 drill program completed by First Mining at the Goldlund Gold Project (\"Goldlund\" or the \"Project\") in northwestern Ontario, Canada. Drilling focused on delineating mineralization in the eastern portion of the defined resource area at Goldlund (the \"Main Zone\"), with these results including the highest-grade interval encountered to date in the 2019 - 2020 program, Hole GL-20-033, which intersected 173.8 grams per tonne gold (\"g/t Au\") over 1.0 metre (\"m\").Latest highlights from holes drilled at the Main Zone include:Hole GL-20-033 intersected 173.80 g/t Au over 1.0 mHole GL-20-034 intersected 5.10 g/t Au over 1.0 m\"These five holes represent the completion of our 2019 - 2020 drill program, which consisted of a total of 48 holes\" stated Dan Wilton, CEO of First Mining. \"The program was successful in further delineating the Main Zone and followed on from the Company's successful drill program at its Miller Prospect in 2018 and 2019.

Gold mineralization was encountered in all five holes and included the highest-grade intercept of the program (173.8 g/t gold over 1 metre in hole GL-20-033). As seen throughout this latest drill program, the mineralization encountered in the last five holes occurs within locally silicified, sheared and variolitic a...
