First Mining Gold Expands Miroir Target with Promising Drilling Results in Duparquet
First Mining Gold Expands Miroir Target
First Mining Gold Corp. is making waves with its latest drilling results from the Miroir target at the Duparquet Gold Project located in Quebec, Canada. The company recently reported several significant gold intercepts, most notably drill hole DUP25-064, which returned an impressive 3.23 grams per ton (g/t) of gold over a length of 25.9 meters. This drill hole included exceptional intercepts of 11.20 g/t over 2.0 meters and 10.16 g/t over 1.4 meters, effectively extending mineralization to a vertical depth of 100 meters.
Advancements in Drilling
The exploration drilling program is part of First Mining's ongoing efforts to refine and develop the Miroir target. To date, nearly 4,450 meters of drilling have been completed, with a total of 20 holes already drilled. The drillings continue to verify mineralization controls and support the growth potential of this newly discovered area.
Dan Wilton, CEO of First Mining, expressed excitement about the promising results stating, "The Miroir target continues to unveil new discoveries within a largely underexplored volcanic section of the Duparquet Project. The strong grades and impressive intercept lengths provide exciting opportunities as we evaluate development strategies that now consider near-surface, high-grade gold potential."
Positive Trends in Assay Results
Drill hole DUP25-066, which was a 45-meter step-out to the east of DUP25-064, also indicated positive results, returning 1.37 g/t Au over 30.6 meters, including 2.56 g/t Au over 4.0 meters. These findings contribute to establishing continuity within the higher-grade gold mineralization found near the surface at the Miroir target.
The Miroir target has demonstrated a strong likelihood for expansion with mineralization occurring near the surface, which is conducive for potential resource growth. Drilling results have revealed multiple zones of gold within the current drilling program, enhancing the overall resource potential of the area.
Continuation of Exploration
As exploration activities continue, the company has plans to further assess and refine its geological understanding of the Miroir target. With 2025 drilling ongoing, First Mining is set to further explore the mineralization potential of the surrounding Llama and Aiguille targets, which present additional opportunities for resource delineation.
Moreover, the Miroir target's mineralization has been closely associated with brecciated and altered mafic volcanic bodies, which signifies a promising geological landscape. The combination of easy access, proximity to existing infrastructure, and the discovery of significant gold reserves positions the Duparquet Project as a favorable location for continued exploration and potential development.
Following these ongoing drilling campaigns, the company plans to provide further updates as additional assay results are received and analyzed. First Mining Gold's active approach to exploration reflects a commitment to maximizing the potential of their assets in this 'gold-rich' area of Quebec, suggesting a very bright future for both the company and investors alike.
Conclusion
The latest developments at the Miroir target are noteworthy and signify First Mining Gold's commitment to enhancing their presence in the mining sector. With exciting new discoveries and potential for continued growth, First Mining is well-positioned to explore and develop one of Canada's most promising gold projects.
