A premier exploration asset in a world class district

The location of First Class Metals' North Hemlo Project, situated approximately 20 kilometers north of Barrick Hemlo, presents several strategic advantages. 

This proximity to a well-established mining operation enhances the project's visibility and reinforces its credibility within the mining sector. Being close to Barrick Hemlo, a recognised global leader in the industry, may also provide First Class Metals with access to valuable regional expertise and insights into best practices for exploration and development.

 The surrounding infrastructure and resources associated with a major operation like Barrick Hemlo can potentially offer logistical benefits that contribute to the future development of the North Hemlo Project. 

Overall, the advantageous location of the North Hemlo Project positions First Class Metals to capitalise on opportunities within the metals exploration sector, aligning with the growing interest in gold exploration and production in the region.

Historic values of 3.1 g/t Au and 0.59% Mo confirmed

Structural mapping indicates subparallel and arcuate trends

possible secondary loci for mineralisation

 – same greenstone belt as Barrick’s Hemlo mine

 – multiple anomalies defined by geophysics, stripping, and geochemistry

 – WPL JV shows tangible Ni-Cu potential on shared geology

2022 JV with GT Resources (6.9 km² – 33 claims).

High-grade Ni-Cu intersections in early drilling:

Structure appears open east and west, including onto FCM’s 100%-owned ground at North Hemlo.

The area is structurally complex with multiple inferred mineralised trends and represents a prime target for gold and base/critical metals.

 Antiformal fold structure analogous to the southern limb hosting the Hemlo gold mine.

 A number of potentially  mineralised structures, identified in the recent VLKF survey. However the key target remains  the Dead Otter Lake trend, confirmed through geophysics and sampling.

 A high-resolution magnetic survey of >4,000 line km has identified multiple untested anomalies, particularly at structural intersections.

: The property is fully permitted for exploration, trenching, and stripping, with First Nations consultation completed.

70 channel samples (Fire Assay) and 120+ Photon Assays confirm high-grade gold.

Soil and prospecting data suggests the mineralised footprint is widening.
