Interview with Dan Wilton, CEO of First Mining Gold Corp. (TSX: FF)

First Mining Gold Corp. is a Canadian project developer with assets located in Ontario and Quebec. The Springpole project of the company is one of the largest, undeveloped, open-pit gold deposits in Canada.  The project’s economics include an 11-year life of mine, post-tax NPV5% of CAD$ 995 million and a post-tax IRR of 29%. The project also hosts existing infrastructure such as a 70-person camp, and access to logging roads and power lines within 40 km of the project’s proposed plant location. The company’s 100%-owned Duparquet gold project located in Quebec is an advanced exploration asset, which holds 3.4 million ounces of gold in the measured and indicated category as well as 1.6 million ounces of gold in the inferred category. The project offers the opportunity to consolidate approximately 5 million ounces of gold in the Abitibi gold district at less than CAD$ 5 per ounce of gold.
