09:24 AM EDT, 09/08/2025 (MT Newswires) -- First Mining Gold ( FFMGF ) reported new drilling results from the 2025 exploration program at its Duparquet gold project in Quebec.

The company said the Aiguille zone is now delineated over a strike length of 100 meters. Highlights included drill hole DUP25-058, which returned 1.43 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 24.1 m, including 4.56 g/t gold over 4 m.

The zone remains open, and follow-up drilling will focus on further defining both its vertical and strike extents, First Mining said.

"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, aimed at bolstering continuity and endowment in support of our development vision," said Dan Wilton, chief executive of First Mining.

First Mining said it has completed 16,000 meters of drilling since March, focused on advancing key resource expansion targets.

"With a highly productive drill program to date, we look forward to further strong results-driven updates on the project," Wilton said.

First Mining's share price gained 3.6% on Friday to $0.22 on the TSX.
