Discoveries are built on expertise, and at First Class Metals, that’s exactly what our latest field updates showcase.

In two new videos from North Hemlo, CEO Marc Sale, whose career includes multiple gold finds in world-class regions, demonstrates the practical steps geologists use to collect rock samples to assess the potential for gold whilst in the field. By viewing these you will gain a rare, transparent insight into how disciplined fieldwork underpins the value of every project in the First Class Metals’ portfolio.

Marc’s visit to the Dead Otter Trend, where a standout 19.9g/t gold sample was recovered, highlights both gold potential and the company’s tried-and-tested approach. He explains in clear terms the difference between grab samples (the first step to assess potential for gold at surface) and channel samples (carefully cut profiles across the outcrop). Channel samples, as Marc shows, give a much more accurate picture; helping the team focus only on areas with real promise before committing to the next stage of exploration.

First Class Metals’ strategy is to apply this informed, systematic approach across an expanding suite of gold projects in Ontario, including North Hemlo, and Sunbeam

Each site is selected for its proven potential and proximity to major regional discoveries, providing exposure to some of Canada’s most exciting exploration ground. With a combination of skilled leadership, clear communication, and rigorous field methods, First Class Metals continue to turn promising geology into meaningful opportunity, one sample at a time.

As the price of gold surged to $3,650 per ounce in September,

 leading, respected analysts, including JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs, even predict values will reach $4,000 per ounce by mid-2026. Central bulk buying, sticky global inflation and investors seeking stability amid persistent geopolitical and economic uncertainty are believed to be the driving force behind the rise.
