In this conversation with Daniel Wilton, CEO of First Mining Gold Corp. (TSX: FF), at the Rule Symposium for Natural Resources 2026 in Boca Raton, we discuss the company’s major federal environmental approval for Springpole after an 8.5-year process, why that milestone changes the path forward, and what still needs to happen before a construction decision targeted for early 2028.
Daniel breaks down the economics of Springpole at higher gold prices, the financing options now opening up, the role a potential partner could play, and why he believes Ontario projects become much more valuable once they reach the end of the permitting process. We also get into Duparquet, the path toward a PFS, the environmental cleanup angle, and why First Mining believes it still trades at a major discount despite a 300% move in the stock.
