First Mining Announces Positive Federal Conformity Determination for the Springpole Gold Project Final Environmental Impact Statement

VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 3, 2024 /CNW/ - First Mining Gold Corp. ("First Mining" or the "Company") (TSX: FF) (OTCQX: FFMGF) (FRANKFURT: FMG) is pleased to announce that it has received a positive conformity determination from the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada ("IAAC") following the submission of the Final Environmental Impact Statement ("Final EIS") for the Springpole Gold Project (the "Project") on November 4, 2024.

Achieving federal conformity marks another important milestone for the Project confirming that the work undertaken by First Mining satisfies the requirements of the federal EIS guidelines issued by the IAAC. Having completed this key regulatory process step, the Final EIS technical review period is proceeding without delay.

"First Mining is pleased to have the positive conformity determination confirmed by the IAAC," stated Dan Wilton, CEO of First Mining.  "Having received the outcome within 30-days of the Final EIS being submitted demonstrates the diligence with which we have approached the assessment work and builds confidence in the regulatory process timelines for the Project. We are committed to continuing important work with Indigenous communities, and also with regulators, municipalities, businesses and the public throughout the on-going processes and all phases of the Project."

The Final EIS now enters the technical review phase where First Mining will undertake to collaborate with all parties to address questions and comments. The process is expected to conclude in Q4 2025.  A complete version of the Final EIS document is accessible at: https://www.firstmininggold.com/springpole-ea.
