First Mining Receives Federal Approval for the Springpole Gold Project Environmental Assessment
VANCOUVER, BC, June 30, 2026 /CNW/ - First Mining Gold Corp. ("First Mining" or the "Company") (TSX: FF) (OTCQX: FFMGF) (FRANKFURT: FMG) is pleased to announce that the Springpole Gold Project (the "Project" or the "Springpole Project") has received its Federal Environmental Assessment ("EA") approval. The Honourable Julie Aviva Dabrusin, Federal Minister of the Environment, Climate Change and Nature, announced, on behalf of Canada, that the Company's Springpole Project may proceed (the "Decision Statement"). The Springpole Project is one of Canada's largest undeveloped gold resources and located approximately 110 kilometres northeast of Red Lake, Ontario.
"This is a monumental day for First Mining, the local Indigenous communities and municipalities who are positioned to benefit economically and socially from the Project, First Mining shareholders and all of Northwestern Ontario," stated Dan Wilton, CEO of First Mining. "The Springpole Project approval by the federal government validates that this Project will be the biggest economic driver of Northwest Ontario in a generation, providing significant economic opportunity to the surrounding communities. The Project will generate billions of dollars in government revenue, deliver hundreds of jobs and careers in the local region, provide significant contracting opportunities for regional and Indigenous businesses, support regional infrastructure and services, and add billions of dollars to the gross domestic product at a critical time for the Ontario and Canadian economy. We would like to thank the Indigenous communities we work with, local municipalities and other stakeholders, our in-house team and external advisors for their significant contributions to the Environmental Assessment process."
The Decision Statement follows a thorough federal environmental assessment process carried out since 2018, with input from Indigenous communities, the public, federal government departments, and agencies including Environment and Climate Change Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Natural Resources Canada, and Transport Canada.
First Mining continues to work on advancing post-EA phase engineering designs and optimizations for the Project towards construction readiness. The federal Decision Statement includes conditions of approval based on, and consistent with, the environmental mitigation commitments and management actions proposed by First Mining within the federal EA process covering areas including engineering designs, aquatic and terrestrial protections, monitoring, adaptive management and consultation. The Company will continue to ensure compliance with all of the conditions needed to advance the construction and operations in a timely manner.
