GOLD, More gold found ... discovery time

Visible gold ('VG') observed in two separate sections of core from a second drill hole at Roy, further confirming the presence of gold mineralisation within the targeted structure

· The planned drill programme has now been successfully completed with 12 holes drilled at Roy.

· Total meterage exceeded the 1,000m contractual minimum.

· Current drilling has confirmed the mineralised structure over a strike extent exceeding 300m.

· Detailed geological logging and sampling is ongoing with the logging of 6 holes now complete.

· Eight drill holes remain to be cut and sampled.

· Holes 1-2 have been dispatched to the laboratory in Thunder Bay for assaying.

Marc J. Sale CEO First Class Metals Commented:

"The drill programme at Roy has to date been a resounding success. I was fortunate to be on site when the first visible gold was identified. The identification of a second occurrence, in two sections of core, while we are still barely halfway through the logging and sampling is incredibly encouraging and furthers the credibility of the Sunbeam property as a whole."

FirstClassMetal - Visible Gold intersected at Roy, Sunbeam

Visible #gold observed in core from one of the drilled holes

Drilling is ongoing with all holes to date intersecting the ‘package’

Currently the strike of the drilled structure is over 250m

Emerald Geological Services remain on site supervising all aspects of the drilling.

Drilling programme nearing completion with further results expected shortly

CEO Marc J Sale: "....The identification of visible gold is a huge uplift for the exploration team. This vindicates the enthusiasm demonstrated over the Roy prospect by FCM and EGS. In my experience, visible gold identifiable to the naked eye within drill core is often associated with potentially high gold grades, I would anticipate the assay being in the order of an ounce, depending on the length of core in that sample.."

Happy with that, thanks!

The Sunbeam project is starting to look interesting, especially with Marc Sale taking a close look at the core. He’s not someone who tends to mess about, so hopefully that’s a good sign there’s something decent in it.

𝗙𝗖𝗠 - 𝗡𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗛 𝗛𝗘𝗠𝗟𝗢 𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘

First Class Metals has successfully completed its maiden drill programme at the North Hemlo Gold Project, delivering exactly what early-stage exploration should: scale, continuity and geological confirmation.

Programme highlights

10 diamond drill holes completed

~3km of strike tested along the Dead Otter trend

Drilling exceeded contracted metres

Visually prospective geology in every hole

Deformation, quartz veining & sulphides consistent with a Hemlo-style gold system

300+ samples already dispatched for assay

Location matters

North Hemlo sits in the world-class Hemlo Greenstone Belt (>23Moz Au produced).

With Barrick’s US$1.09bn exit from Hemlo completed earlier this month, the district is firmly back in focus — and FCM’s Dead Otter trend lies directly alongside the new operator’s ground.

Multiple gold styles remain in play, including:

• Shear-hosted orogenic gold

• Structurally controlled mineralisation at greenstone–granite contacts

Assays will determine grade, but geology underpins value — and the geological evidence supports continued confidence in the Dead Otter trend.

It is looking good!

Shares in issue now versus work done since ipo of 10p which went to 18p so about 10p sounds achievable short term and multiples of that if hemlo becomes a new discovery, look at GGP who did over 2000% on their discovery amd this is also positioned well. Near the mine and infrastructure, not to deep either, in fact only a fraction of the depth GGP had to drill to for theirs.

Look at the hemlo story where it all began:

Today's rns

"Over three hundred core samples dispatched for assay to date, including approximately one hundred additional samples currently in transit, providing a substantial dataset from this initial scout programme."

NOTE additional samples! The initial samples showed what we wanted to see, I wonder what the additional will show?

PLUS the recent takeover panel rns thus proving some kind of sale in process!

hxxps://www.lse.co.uk/rns/FCM/

Hemlo mining Corp has fcm claims on its corporate presentation. They may have seen the opportunity and if the taken over panel are involved which they were when 79 deal went through then maybe they approached them for the 79 shares. Not like you can buy large on open market so maybe thats it? https://hemlomining.com/#investors

Market Summary > @FirstClassMetal

LON: #FCM

2.20 GBX+0.50 (29.41%) up past 5 days

12 Dec, 15:09 GMT • 

2026

Around 200 core samples have been dispatched for assay, with several logged intersections displaying visually encouraging geological features that support the decision to continue drilling.

What the Core Looks Like

The core is dark, fine-grained, and strongly banded, with:

Well-developed foliation (the streaky, planar fabric running along the core)

Alternating light and dark bands

Some brittle fracturing but no obvious thick quartz veining

Patchy silica flooding and lighter bleached sections

Thin red pencil lines marking meterage, not mineralization

This is very typical of Hemlo-style host rocks, which are famously highly deformed, silicified, and sericite–rich volcanic and sedimentary units.

What Rock Type This Most Likely Is

The core strongly resembles:

Hemlo Sericite–Silica Schist (the classic Hemlo host lithology)

Characterised by:

Dark grey to black colour

Strong planar foliation

Silica flooding

Often pyrite-bearing (though it may be very fine and not visible in a photo)

At Hemlo, gold occurs almost entirely within sericite–silica altered schists, not big quartz veins. So this type of rock is considered favourable host rock.

What the Textures Mean

1. Strong Foliation / Banding

Indicates:

High degree of deformation

Shear zone or structural corridor

Exactly the environments where Hemlo-style gold deposits form

2. Bleached or Light Bands

These light zones represent:

Silicification

Sericite alteration

Both are key alteration signatures at the Hemlo deposit.

3. Dark Massive Zones

Likely:

More mafic volcanics or sediment-derived units

Less altered but still within the deformation zone

4. Fractured Core

Normal for competent silica-rich rocks; not an indicator of mineralization by itself.

Is There Visible Gold or Sulphide in the Photo?

No visible gold or obvious coarse sulphides appear in this image.

That is not surprising — Hemlo gold is notoriously “invisible”, locked within extremely fine-grained sulphide or alteration minerals.

Even high-grade Hemlo ore often shows:

No quartz veining

No visible gold

Very fine pyrite or arsenopyrite only detectable under a microscope

So lack of visible sulphides ≠ lack of gold potential.

Does This Look Like Good Core?

For North Hemlo? Yes — it is promising host rock.

Why:

Strong deformation

Silica–sericite alteration

Classic Hemlo-style stratigraphy

Hemlo mineralization does not require quartz veins or obvious sulphides

This is the type of rock you want to see before assays come back.

What This Core Suggests About FCM’s Target

This interval appears to lie in:

A deformation zone

Within altered volcanic/sedimentary units similar to those at the Hemlo deposit

Potentially in the right structural

And why not rude not too! Looks like gold staining to me https://x.com/i/status/1999122746563846363

Interview confirmed the following points Summary: First Class Metals — Marc’s Key Points

Market Sentiment & External Feedback and

recent strategic conversations show strong understanding and recognition of the First Class Metals story from interested parties.

External groups express surprise at the current undervaluation, given the scale of assets, ongoing work, and exploration progress.

Share Price Context

Two years ago, the share price was nearly 10× higher, peaking around 1.8p, compared to today’s level.

Since then, the company has advanced multiple projects, making the current valuation appear disconnected from operational achievements.

Operational Progress (Last Two Years)

Zigzag – Successfully drilled, confirming lithium mineralisation.

Lithium price environment appears to have bottomed and is beginning to strengthen, improving sector sentiment.

Acquisition of KERRS, adding 386,000 compliant ounces to the company’s resource base.

Active drilling at North Hemlo underway. If there is a gold showing we prove the concept.

Planned drilling at the Sunbeam area scheduled next.

Strategic Positioning & Neighbouring Activity

At North Hemlo, First Class Metals directly borders Hemlo Mining Corporation, which acquired Hemlo from Barrick.

Both Hemlo Mining Corporation and Barrick have shown interest, with Barrick having visited the property multiple times.

At Sunbeam the company is positioned between two active areas.

First Class Metals is fully surrounded by active claims, highlighting the strategic importance of its land package and the high prospectivity of the region.

Value Upside & Outlook

Combination of a compliant resource, ongoing drilling, upcoming programs, and increased neighbour activity creates a strong value catalyst pipeline.

The company is positioned for significant upside as exploration progresses and market sentiment improves.

Fantastic new YouTube channel showing the FCM videos from the drilling campaign at NH. Next door to the Barrick Mine.

Following from that have you seen the core?

We put some of the screen takes from the videos into AI and got some really good feedback on the core:

What This Cut Core Section Shows

Even though the photo is a small, low-light snippet, the material being cut displays several encouraging geological characteristics:

1. Strong silica flooding / quartz-rich fabric

The pale, translucent groundmass indicates a quartz-dominant interval—likely a vein or a silica-altered zone. That alone is significant, as quartz veining is the primary host for orogenic gold in Archean terranes.

2. A distinct dark, rusty-brown mineralised band

The darker zone with rusty-orange oxidation suggests the presence of sulphides (pyrite/pyrrhotite, possibly chalcopyrite).

This rusty halo is exactly what you’d expect where sulphides have weathered on a cut surface.

Why this matters:

sulphides mark fluid flow

fluid flow is where gold precipitates in these systems

3. A clear structural fabric

The angled band relative to the core axis implies the blade is cutting across a vein, shear, or foliation. Such structural contrasts often represent important fluid pathways.

4. Sharp, planar contact

The clean boundary suggests this is a genuine structural or veined feature—not random patchy alteration—making it far more meaningful from an exploration standpoint.

Overall Interpretation

This small section of core appears to capture:

Silica-rich veining or strong quartz flooding

A sulphide-bearing interval now oxidised to rusty brown

A well-defined structural feature

This is precisely the style of material that matters in Archean greenstone-hosted gold systems.

Even with limited visibility, this combination—quartz + sulphides + structure—is the classic trio geologists focus on when evaluating potential gold-bearing zones.

Look how close FCM are to Barrick, If this goes well the potential is huge.

Ontario Tier 1

Should definitely have this on the radar if you’re not already. North Hemlo sits right next to Barrick, where that 19 g/t sample’s already been found.

And let’s be honest—Barrick were on site last year. Not officially announced, but those work jackets kinda gave the game away

This is exactly how the majors play it: let the explorers advance a project to the “major interest” stage, then either buy in or take it further. Perfect fit for FCM’s incubator model—develop the asset, then either sell or scale it up.

Key points:

Grab samples hitting up to 19.6 g/t Au, backed by 13.6 g/t Au, across a 3 km trend (Dead Otter Lake Zone).

Structural mapping + geo data point to a big hydrothermal system with multiple mineralised trends.

There’s also that nickel-copper discovery nearby via the West Pickle Lake JV with GT Resources.

The project’s now expanded to around 118 km² over 462 claims, plus another 163 claims in the OnGold block.

Fully permitted for exploration, trenching, stripping, and First Nations consultation is already done.
