Executive Summary

  • First Mining reports significant drill intercepts from the 2025 program at the Duparquet Gold Project, notably hole DUP25‑058 delivering 1.43 g/t Au over 24.1 m (including 4.56 g/t Au over 4.0 m) that extends the Aiguille zone to ~100 m strike length.
  • Additional high‑grade intercepts were returned from the Valentre target (e.g., 2.80 g/t Au over 3.25 m, including 4.93 g/t Au over 1.75 m in hole DUP25‑057).
  • To date, ~16,000 m of drilling has been completed in 2025 across multiple targets (Aiguille, Valentre, CVD, Miroir, etc.), supporting ongoing resource expansion and future inclusion of new zones in updated mineral resource estimates.

Key Details

  • Drill Hole DUP25‑058 (Aiguille):
  • 1.43 g/t Au over 24.1 m (core length) – true width estimated 75‑85% of interval.

  • Included higher‑grade sub‑interval: 4.56 g/t Au over 4.0 m.

  • Drill Hole DUP25‑057 (Valentre):

  • 2.80 g/t Au over 3.25 m.

  • Sub‑interval: 4.93 g/t Au over 1.75 m.

  • Overall 2025 Program Progress:

  • ~16,000 m drilled to date (March – Sept 2025).

  • Latest holes total 1,053 m of the program.

  • Aiguille Zone Expansion:

  • Strike length now approximately 100 m; zone remains open at depth and eastward.

  • Valentre & CVD Targets:

  • Multiple intercepts ranging from 0.49 g/t to 4.93 g/t Au across holes DUP25‑055, DUP25‑057, and DUP25‑058.

  • Results will feed into an updated 3‑D geological model for future drilling and potential resource inclusion.

  • Assay Methodology:

  • Samples processed by AGAT Laboratories (fire assay with atomic absorption finish; selected samples also analyzed by ICP).

  • QA/QC procedures include certified reference materials, blanks, and duplicates.

  • Qualified Person: James Maxwell, P.Geo., VP Exploration & Project Operations, reviewed and approved the technical disclosure per NI 43‑101.

Notable Quotes

“Our exploration teams continue to build on our drilling success at Duparquet with the advancement of priority target areas proximal to the existing mineral resource… we look forward to further strong results‑driven updates on the Project.” – Dan Wilton, CEO
