FIRST MINING PROVIDES UPDATE AT PICKLE CROW GOLD PROJECT

First Mining Gold Corp.'s new joint-venture partner at First Mining's Pickle Crow gold project, Bellavista Resources Ltd., has closed the acquisition of FireFly Metals Ltd.'s interest in PC Gold Inc., the entity that holds the project on April 29, 2026. Bellavista has also exercised its buy-down right at the project and paid $3-million in cash to First Mining to reduce First Mining's ownership in PC Gold from 30 per cent to 20 per cent. First Mining's interest in PC Gold is free carried to a decision to mine at Pickle Crow.

The Bellavista team is led by Glenn Jardine as managing director and Peter Canterbury as finance director. Mr. Jardine and Mr. Canterbury are both experienced executives who led De Grey Mining until its successful $3.3-billion (U.S.) sale to Northern Star Resources Ltd. in May, 2025.
