First Mining Gold Corp. has announced significant progress at its Duparquet Gold Project in Quebec, Canada, following the completion of Phase 3 drilling. The latest results reveal two new gold discoveries, further enhancing the project’s potential for growth.

Two New Gold Zones Discovered at Duparquet

First Mining has identified two new gold zones at its Valentre target. These zones, Miroir and Aiguille, are located north and south of Valentre, respectively. This discovery occurred during ongoing expansion drilling. The Miroir Zone delivered assay results of 3.12 g/t Au over 19.35 meters. This includes 5.47 g/t Au over 9.6 meters. The Aiguille Zone showed even stronger results. They reported 8.99 g/t Au over 3.1 meters.

These findings contribute to 142 unique mineralized intercepts. These intercepts span 16 drill holes. This supports strong continuity in mineralization. The Central Duparquet, Valentre, and Dumico (CVD) area demonstrates this continuity. SuperMetalPrice reports that this significantly enhances the project’s potential.

Dan Wilton, CEO of First Mining, emphasized the significant upside potential at Duparquet. He stated the Duparquet Project is well-positioned for substantial resource growth. The project has an existing mineral resource. This resource includes 3.44 million ounces of Measured and Indicated gold. Additionally, it contains 2.64 million ounces of Inferred gold.

The company continues to demonstrate Duparquet’s prominence. It is one of Canada’s most promising gold assets. It is located in Quebec’s Abitibi gold belt. Therefore, it solidifies its position as a key gold project.

Continued Expansion and Exploration Plans for 2025

Looking ahead, First Mining is planning expanded drilling programs for 2025. These will focus on further exploration of the newly discovered Miroir and Aiguille zones, aiming to extend mineralization both along strike and at depth. Additionally, the company will advance drilling at other key targets, including the Buzz target and North Zone, with the goal of discovering new mineralized zones and expanding the overall resource base.

James Maxwell, VP of Exploration, emphasized that the company’s exploration efforts are driven by strong geoscience foundations, which will continue to open up new opportunities at Duparquet. The CVD area, in particular, remains a high-priority target for future resource growth and exploration.

With new discoveries and ongoing exploration, Duparquet is poised to further strengthen its position as a leading gold project in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt.
