Cautionary Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements
This news release includes certain "forward-looking
information" and "forward-looking statements" (collectively
"forward-looking statements") within the meaning of applicable
Canadian and United States
securities legislation including the United States Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking
statements are made as of the date of this news release.
Forward-looking statements are frequently, but not always,
identified by words such as "expects", "anticipates", "believes",
"plans", "projects", "intends", "estimates", "envisages",
"potential", "possible", "strategy", "goals", "opportunities",
"objectives", or variations thereof or stating that certain
actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or
"will" be taken, occur or be achieved, or the negative of any of
these terms and similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements in this news release relate to
future events or future performance and reflect current estimates,
predictions, expectations or beliefs regarding future events and
include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to: (i)
the Company's plans with respect to advancing its portfolio of gold
projects; and (ii) Feasibility and permitting activities related to
the Springpole Project and the timing of the submission of the EIS.
All forward-looking statements are based on First Mining's or its
consultants' current beliefs as well as various assumptions made by
them and information currently available to them. There can be no
assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, and
actual results and future events could differ materially from those
anticipated in such statements. Forward-looking statements reflect
the beliefs, opinions and projections on the date the statements
are made and are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates
that, while considered reasonable by the respective parties, are
inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive,
political and social uncertainties and contingencies. Such factors
include, without limitation the Company's business, operations and
financial condition potentially being materially adversely affected
by the outbreak of epidemics, pandemics or other health crises,
such as COVID-19, and by reactions by government and private actors
to such outbreaks; risks to employee health and safety as a result
of the outbreak of epidemics, pandemics or other health crises,
such as COVID-19, that may result in a slowdown or temporary
suspension of operations at some or all of the Company's mineral
properties as well as its head office; fluctuations in the
spot and forward price of gold, silver, base metals or certain
other commodities; fluctuations in the currency markets (such as
the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar); changes in national
and local government, legislation, taxation, controls, regulations
and political or economic developments; risks and hazards
associated with the business of mineral exploration, development
and mining (including environmental hazards, industrial accidents,
unusual or unexpected formations, pressures, cave-ins and
flooding); the presence of laws and regulations that may impose
restrictions on mining; employee relations; relationships with and
claims by local communities, indigenous populations and other
stakeholders; availability and increasing costs associated with
mining inputs and labour; the speculative nature of mineral
exploration and development; title to properties.; and the
additional risks described in the Company's Annual Information Form
for the year ended December 31, 2021
filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities under the
Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com, and in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 40-F filed with the SEC on EDGAR.
First Mining cautions that the foregoing list of factors that
may affect future results is not exhaustive. When relying on our
forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to First
Mining, investors and others should carefully consider the
foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events.
First Mining does not undertake to update any forward-looking
statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to
time by the Company or on our behalf, except as required by
law.
