(\"First Mining\" or the \"Company\") (TSX: FF) (OTCQX: FFMGF) (FRANKFURT: FMG) is pleased to announce results from the drill program underway at the Company's wholly-owned Goldlund gold property (\"Goldlund\") in Ontario, Canada. These results represent the first set of results from the ongoing drill program focused within and around the defined resource area at Goldlund (\"Main Zone\"), with an initial target of defining and extending mineralization in the eastern and western portions of the deposit.Latest highlights from holes drilled at the Main Zone include:Hole GL-19-008 intersected 5.36 grams per tonne gold (\"g/t Au\") over 21.0 metres (\"m\")Including 89.60 g/t Au over 1.0 mHole GL-19-010 intersected 1.68 g/t Au over 15.0 mIncluding 8.02 g/t Au over 1.0 mHole GL-19-013 intersected 1.15 g/t Au over 14.0 mIncluding 9.42 g/t Au over 1.0 mDan Wilton, CEO of First Mining, stated \"I am excited about the ongoing success from drilling at Goldlund which continues to showcase the Project's potential for expansion not only from regional exploration, but also at the existing resource area.

We believe this drilling has the potential to demonstrate resource growth at the Main Zone, in addition to possible resource expansion at the property from the regional potential we have shown through our drilling at the Miller prospect in 2018 and 2019.\"The holes highlighted in this news release consist of the first eleven holes of the drill program currently underway. The holes drilled in 2019 primarily targeted the eastern parts of Zones 2 and 3 as well as the area between these two zones, following up on historical drill intercepts. Of the eleven holes reported in this news release, gold mineralization has been encountered in nine. Hole GL-19-008 intersected 21 metres of 5.36 g/t gold within highly mineralized granodiorite and porphyry units, as well as within andesite, and was successful in confirming the high grades within Zone 2 that were encountered in hi...
