VANCOUVER, June 17, 2024 - First Mining Gold Corp. ("First Mining" or the "Company") (TSX: FF) (OTCQX: FFMGF) (FRANKFURT: FMG) is pleased to announce that due to demand, the Company has upsized and closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement offering of common shares of the Company ("Common Shares") for aggregate proceeds of approximately $7 million (the "Offering").

Pursuant to the Offering, the Company issued (i) 31,212,121 Common Shares that qualify as "flow-through shares" within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "National FT Shares") at a price of $0.165 per National FT Share and (ii) 10,000,000 Common Shares that qualify as "flow-through shares" within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and subsection 359.1 of the Taxation Act (Québec) (the "Québec FT Shares" and, together with the National FT Shares, the "FT Shares") at a price of $0.18 per Québec FT Share.

The gross proceeds raised from the Offering will be used by First Mining to fund exploration programs related to the Company's Springpole and Duparquet gold projects that qualify as "Canadian exploration expenses" and "flow-through mining expenditures", as those terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) for the National FT Shares and will also qualify for inclusion in the "exploration base relating to certain Québec exploration expenses" within the meaning of section 726.4.10 of the Taxation Act (Québec) for the Québec FT Shares (collectively, the "Qualifying Expenditures"). The Qualifying Expenditures will be renounced in favour of the subscribers of the Offering with an effective date no later than December 31, 2024 and in an aggregate amount of not less than the total amount of the gross proceeds raised from the Offering.

The FT Shares and Finder Shares issued under the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the closing date of the Offering. The Offering remains subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the final approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX").

The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons (as such term is defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.
