First Mining Announces Closing of C$8 Million Bought Deal Financing Including the Full Exercise of Over-Allotment Option

/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 26, 2024 /CNW/ - First Mining Gold Corp. ("First Mining" or the "Company") (TSX: FF) (OTCQX: FFMGF) (FRANKFURT: FMG) is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced bought deal public offering (the "Offering") of 59,629,800 units of the Company (the "Units") at a price of $0.135 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $8,050,023, which includes the exercise of the full amount of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters of 7,777,800 Units.

The Offering was completed pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated September 23, 2024, among the Company, Cormark Securities Inc. and Haywood Securities Inc., as co-lead underwriters and joint bookrunners, and Ventum Financial Corp., BMO Capital Markets and H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC.

Each Unit is comprised of one common share of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $0.20 per share at any time prior to the date which is 36 months from the closing of the Offering.

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used to advance First Mining's Springpole and Duparquet gold projects, as well as for general working capital and corporate purposes.

The Offering was conducted by way of a prospectus supplement dated September 23, 2024 (the "Prospectus Supplement") to the Company's existing short form base shelf prospectus dated January 23, 2024 (the "Base Shelf Prospectus") in each of the provinces of Canada (other than the province of Québec). The Prospectus Supplement (together with the Base Shelf Prospectus) is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

The Units offered have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the Units in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Forward-looking statements in this news release relate to future events or future performance and reflect current estimates, predictions, expectations or beliefs regarding future events and include, but are not limited to, the use of the net proceeds of the Offering.

There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Forward-looking statements reflect the beliefs, opinions and projections on the date the statements are made and are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that, while considered reasonable by the respective parties, are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties and contingencies. Such factors include, without limitation, the Company's business, operations and financial condition potentially being materially adversely affected by the outbreak of epidemics, pandemics or other health crises, and by reactions by government and private actors to such outbreaks; risks to employee health and safety as a result of the outbreak of epidemics, pandemics or other health crises, that may result in a slowdown or temporary suspension of operations at some or all of the Company's mineral properties as well as its head office; fluctuations in the spot and forward price of gold, silver, base metals or certain other commodities; fluctuations in the currency markets (such as the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar); changes in national and local government, legislation, taxation, controls, regulations and political or economic developments; risks and hazards associated with the business of mineral exploration, development and mining (including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected formations, pressures, cave-ins and flooding); the presence of laws and regulations that may impose restrictions on mining; employee relations; relationships with and claims by local communities, indigenous populations and other stakeholders; availability and increasing costs associated with mining inputs and labour; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development; title to properties.; and the additional risks described in the Company's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities under the Company's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

First Mining cautions that the foregoing list of factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive. When relying on our forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to First Mining, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events. First Mining does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by the Company or on our behalf, except as required by law.
