FIRST MNG FIN CORP COM NPV (OTCMKTS:FFMGF) has been trekking along in a lateral consolidation after putting in clear and strong support over the summer in the $0.40/share zone. The move has likely been supported by strength in precious metals markets due to rising tensions on the geopolitical front, with a war of words escalating between President Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.
That said, we have some recent micro-level catalysts perhaps starting to take control of this trade: specifically, the company just announced positive results on its independent Preliminary Economic Assessment for its Springpole Gold Project in northwestern Ontario, Canada. Management notes that the results of the assessment suggest that this project may have economic viability with the potential for excellent margins on low cash costs of $619 per ounce of gold equivalent and an average annual payable production of 322,000 ounces of gold equivalent, over the life of mine. The stock has been on the move higher since the results hit the wires.

As noted above, the stock has started to find some further traction on the back of positive PEA results for its Springpole project.
“This updated PEA study represents a significant improvement in both economics and annual and total ounces of gold and silver produced when compared with the previous PEA completed for Gold Canyon in 2013. The results of this PEA indicates that the Springpole Project may have economic viability. The PEA demonstrates that the Project has excellent margins with low cash costs of US$619 per ounce of gold equivalent and an average annual payable production of 322,000 ounces of gold equivalent, over the life of mine On that basis, once in production as contemplated by the PEA, Springpole would be one of the largest gold mines in North America,” said Keith Neumeyer, First Mining’s Chairman.
If the company comes away with full confidence in the economic viability, the environmental assessment will come next. This would appear likely as the company notes that the data suggests a full payback of initial capital in 3.5 years from the commencement of commercial production.
