First Mining Gold Corp (FF)

Our Commander in Chief is probably the greatest stock trader in the history of the world. To hear him talk he doesn't know anything about it. LOL

This Guy is so full of shit, it's coming out of his ears. He should be called the "Grifter" in chief. Makes Joe and Hunter Biden look like small potatoes. He made 1.4 billion in just crypto.

Did they talk about co-management in those articles? If they did, I missed it, but I agree with you, that any participation by the Natives in running or being involved in the mine construction would be a big mistake by FMG. They can consult and oversee the proceedings, but more authority than that IMO would be a big mistake.

How would it go if the mine gets halfway built and the Natives don't like how things are going? IMO they can't legally be able to do that and FMG would be very foolish to give them that much say in the matter.

Way too risky for any chance of that to happen. That part may have been on their 35 things to do list.

We got back some of those losses over on the TSX from yesterday. Maybe the situation is being understood better today than yesterday?

Well, we know the Big Chief would never speak with a forked tongue.

"So, maybe these problems have more to do with the Natives and Ontario, than with the Natives and FMG?"
yes , that is my take on it too . Especially after hearing the Chief state just that .

Update to my prior post. I didn't listen to the audio portion of the piece you posted, so after listening to it the immediate problem would seem to be coming from Ontario, according to the Big Chief, and according to him, Ontario could give a shit.

So, why is Ontario not kissing the Natives' ass? Well, maybe the Natives are asking them to pony up something too? I don't know what the problem is between the two parties, but I seem to recall that it's been a on going issue. If memory serves me the Big Chief said the same thing a couple of years ago about Ontario turning a cold shoulder to them.

So, maybe these problems have more to do with the Natives and Ontario, than with the Natives and FMG? Let's hope they'll sit down have a powwow and smoke a PEACE pipe to make things good between them.

Ontario is going to approve the mine being built regardless, would be my guess.

When You first posted that CBC article from after the news broke about the Natives doing their deals with the Company. I didn't read to me like they had fully come onboard with FMG. The article had quotes from the Big Chief that didn't sound positive at all to me. That's apparently what Dan was alluding to in that video interview from yesterday about MORE WORK NEEDING TO BE DONE.

They authorize the mine to be built, but don't approve it? Sounds like a bunch of double talk to me. I'm not sure how such a concept is even made. That's like being partially pregnant. There's no such thing.

FMG and Dan have more work to do to get them to APPROVE the mine being built is what this looks like to me. That's why our shares sold off yesterday on the TSX.

Dan is going to have to explain to shareholders in this webinar about EXACTLY what is going on.

I think some of it is maybe justified worry of how things might progress.if they don't have a seat at the table in re environmental disturbance and of course some of it is money motivated. The end of July will be here soon enough as the comment period for the provincial part of this comes to a close and the indigenous peoples have also voiced all concerns at a provincial level . At least it is moving forward after all these years . The Duparquet project should have a much shorter time frame with the changes in federal processes .

Yep, Pento made the strong point that stagflation is going to be a major problem for the economy going forward and I would agree with him. Gold does very well in a stagflationary environment. We had that present back in in the 1970's and gold did very well then. As the economy slows and people continue to lose their jobs because of A.I. that should bring on stagflation.

It would be nice to get Rick Rule admitting to Keith that FMG is a good investment from Rick's Show in Florida next week. I don't see how Keith wouldn't bring it up in any interview he does now going forward. Let's hope he pumps the Company better than Dan did in his interview.

Al, that audio clip supplies some great background information and sort of explains Dan's video. Thanks for posting it. I do not agree with the co-management part if that is what they want. The road is great and hopefully some of their folks can work at the mine, but co-management? Unless their folks have mine management experience (which is possible), I don't feel this is a good idea. What do you think?

This video with Rick Rule and Keith is older , however highlights that he will be chatting with Rick Rule in Florida

Webinar on Tuesday
https://6ix.com/event/first-mining-gold-unpacking-the-springpole-ea-decision-and-what-comes-next

This is a couple of weeks old , but may be what was being indirectly referenced to in the latest video from Dan. https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/audio/9.7239326

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/thunder-bay/cat-lake-lac-seul-first-mining-gold-9.7239458

Pento's points about the debt and deficits cannot be overstated. Nothing changes until those two items change. I have not heard any politicians seriously discussing either one lately, so stagflation here we come.

As others have mentioned here, hopefully Keith gets to do a one-on-one with Rick Rule at the conference next week and gets Rule's attention directed to FF in a post-EA decision scenario. I would think Rule would be game because not only have things changed for FF, but First Majestic has had some great discoveries on their existing properties and First Mint continues to do well.

Hey, another insider decided to add a few more shares! You go James Maxwell. LOL

Yes, tempering his enthusiasm for what happened for us this week is DEFINITELY what I got from that interview too.

He seemed to me to want to say we're not out of the woods YET with all that's going on. IMO the Ontario permitting should be in the bag for us, so I don't see that as a problem. What exactly we still have to put to bed with the Natives is unknown to me, but he made a statement about that too.

Was this interview the reason for the shares giving back some of our Wednesday gains? I don't know, but maybe. He came across to me as being a Debbie Downer in some ways.

Florian Grummes resurfaces. This is a long interview, but IMO he gives a lot of good insight in it. His view of Bitcoin is not as positive as it once was, not surprising there.

IMO this Guy is One of the best TA people out there. He's calling for $10K gold, but it may not come as fast as most think. Very good interview.

A bit of a strange interview. In a way, he seemed to be dialing back expectations/excitement a bit.

Here's a good Micheal Pento interview from yesterday. He speaks to what he sees Warsh and the Fed doing, which will be lowering rates, most likely. Pento likes gold and the gold miners down here as very beatdown and undervalued. I think we can all agree with that logic.

I agree with most of his points made in this video. Including the coming crash and money printing that will follow. That should send gold and the miners to the moon down the road.

Good for Richard, he and Keith are only two insiders with the balls to step up and buy. That's even a little bewildering.

I don't see the Fed hiking rates. Warsh is just jawboning that he's going to do it. Talking hawkishly.

The next meeting he'll talk about lower oil and gas prices, then he'll mention that the employment numbers aren't looking so hot right now too.

That will keep their ass on hold, even if the inflation numbers continue to look elevated. IMO raising rates would be a big problem for them and why they won't do it. Whether they should or not.

I added more shares today. We were half this price just a few weeks ago. I think much of the gain recently was the anticipation of getting the EA approval. Then you get profit taking and a pullback. I hope some discussions are going on in the background as I would prefer not to wait years for next major announcement.

I can't say what impact this interview had on our share price today, but the gist of what I took from Dan's interview is that NOTHING has been finalized.

Maybe with the exception of the Federal EA being issued to us. He said the agreements with the Natives aren't really put to bed yet and they still have to get the Ontario EA approval (that shouldn't be an issue), but he certainly didn't blow the horn that clear sailing was ahead for us. He kept mentioning more work had to be done. We know more work has to be done.

Maybe it had something to do with the timelines he talked about didn't agree with someone? Crazy, if you ask me, but instead of pumping the news this seemed more like a cold water pour on it to me. Just my 2 cents.

I’m glad the fed backed off rate hikes and gave metals what they needed. I’ve always known they won’t raise rates and tank the markets, ain’t know way.

I think it was hopefully people taking profit or breaking even when they had bought too high. I think a year from now we will be somewhere between 1.50 and 2.00, Hopefuly some algo’s for institutional money will trigger some buy orders now there it’s a permitted mine. This will take awhile to play out tho imo.

Wow, a big belly flop is right. I didn't expect this at all. We're giving back a lot of yesterday's gains.

This makes me think something that FMG agreed to was definitely NOT what the Street was expecting. What that is I don't know, but this selling makes me wonder.

The share price didn't run prior to the news coming out, so the drop we're seeing today IMO isn't because we were that overbought or from just profit-taking the move yesterday. The move higher we had yesterday should have happened as a matter of course is my thinking. I thought the share price would be gapping higher on the share rerating that should be coming. That didn't happen for sure.

Have a great 4th of July weekend.

What an absolute belly flop of a day for FMG. Very disappointing, no doubt. But, the story only gets stronger from here so we'll get back after it next week. Enjoy the holiday weekend everyone!

I too also remember that I remembered upsetting me for a bit. But it didn't stop me from buying

I see the jobs numbers missed lower this morning and the last few month's employment numbers beats were revised lower. Not too surprising.

That would imply a weaker economy and if the numbers keep dropping our buddy Kevin Warsh should be posturing to lower rates down the road. Of course, Trump wants to hold everything together before the midterm elections, IF he can.

PM's are up on the news.

https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/us-adds-only-57k-jobs-half-expected-unemployment-rate-slides-plunge-workers-participation

.

Yep, so it looks like he needs only to add another 3.5 million shares to make that nice, round 50M number, he said he was wanting.

Must be nice.

Yes, I think I remember us talking about that here. I was pissed off because of what Rule said and the low rating he gave. LOL

That was a LONG time ago and the story has changed dramatically now from what Rick was commenting on at that time. That's why to your point we need to make Rule aware now of that and get him to flip on what his "past" recommendations were. Springpole has been derisked now
in large part and the Naysayers from years past need to understand that now.

When we come out with a JV or buy-out offer/deal it will be too late to come onboard, people need to be loading up NOW.

P.S.: I shot Paul a congrats e-mail on the NEWS yesterday. He said everyone there was excited and that Dan should be scheduling a shareholder webinar in the near future.

This is interesting. I am going to call Paul and remind him that Rick Rule used to be VERY negative on FMG back in the day. I remember he used to have this thing where you could submit your mining tickers to him and he would personally reply with a grade from A to F and a little note that justified his grade. When I submitted FFMGF he came back with a D. He had a few comments that I've forgotten, but I do remember one of them was "mission creep". That was very accurate b/c it was shortly after we transitioned from the mineral bank biz model to being a developer and we were sorta floating around without much direction. Anyway, fast forward to today and the story is much different. Keith should have Paul or someone remind Rick of that before any interviews...Any positive promotion at this point is good and many investors still listen to Rick Rule's guidance.

Mr Neumeyer bought more yesterday on the us market and is up to 46.5 million shares now .

Rick Rule's symposium is next week down in Florida. I think Keith is going to be there, so we may get some interviews with Keith from that event. Getting a good recommendation from someone like Rule would be great for our share price.

I'm thinking there should be more interest and buying coming out of the TSX today when it reopens for trading.

Everyone hasn't gotten the news yet and those people will be Buyers when they find out. We should see analysts and the various ratings companies coming out with upgrades for the Company going forward. The impact of the news hasn't totally hit the market as I see it AND yes, our share price is still a bargain down here IMO, even after the nice move yesterday.

I saw a Barron's target price on us for $1.36/share, not sure if that's an old rating or since the EA news came out?

I agree that while 20% ish is good, I expect way more since on any deal there will be a HUGE premium. I guess since the TSX was closed there was less people buying as its maybe more popular in Canada with all the mining companies here.

I'll never compain when the share price increases but I'm surprised we didn't see more of a bump. I own shares through TSX and can confrim they did not change. Maybe tomorrow will be another trend upwards. Added more shares today. With this latest EA approval this is a bargain buy right now!

Well, somebody's a buyer today. Good to see the positive reaction to the big news and I would expect some of this optimism to follow through on the TSX tomorrow.
A 20% move higher today would be a nice vote of confidence.

It does seem odd that even on a holiday in Canada - neither Dan nor Keith has said anything outside of the standard press release. Maybe it is nothing, but it may lend some credence to possibility of a deal being finalized. If that is the case - then they will not be doing any interviews or making any public statements (outside of the obligatory press release) in order to remain within the rules. This has been a near decade long process and 100m+ effort all focused on this major milestone. If silence continues - more likely some type of deal is being worked on. Could just be coincidence though - being a holiday.

It’s trading in the US, it just opened up about 15 percent

Yes, I was thinking today was a Canadian holiday, so I guess the TSX is closed and FF won't be trading, but I don't think that would apply to FFMGF trading in the U.S., but you may be right that our share price move may be muted some because of it. thanks

It is a federal holiday in Canada today so we won’t see much of anything happen today

Ha, yes I post a lot here because I'm not working a day job and I have the time, but just one person making posts doesn't make a discussion.

It takes a group of people to do that and why your input here has been very important. Bouncing ideas off of each other has been crucial in trying to figure out where this is going and I think we've done pretty good with that. I'm pretty opinionated and have been known to get off topic, but I try to keep the conversation in the realm of PM's, mining, and topics related to our investment in FMG or the sector.

Sometimes I have to get off topic to make conversation, as we know the Company related news can be few and far between. I hope that changes some now that the ball should get rolling for the mine being financed and potential deals getting done. The stock should get rerated and our share price should move into a higher ranking as a developer.

Thanks, but everyone here knows you're the most prolific poster on this board by far. Not only that, almost all of what you post makes sense to me and I enjoy reading it. I wish I could post more as in previous years, but I have a different employer now and I can really only post on days I am working from home because at work no personal web browsing is allowed and I am ok with that. I work hard enough and long enough hours where I can carve out small pockets of time at home to do strictly personal activities. So please keep your posts coming!

I'll be looking forward to the webinars a bit more now as we are likely to be presented with new information and ideas. Although the time stretched further than expected, FF definitely crossed the river from the land bank days to the developer days.

You make a good point about the share price. I was somewhat confounded that our shares sold off yesterday prior to the announcement, but that may have been based more on NOT getting any news up until the news actually broke. I'll be really surprised if our shares don't see a 10-15% move higher today. We'll see.

IMO you've been one of the best posters on this board and like Me you've been posting here for years, so in some way I see this EA approval announcement as a culmination of years of hopes coming to fruition and conclusion.

I don't own the shares a lot of FMG shareholders have in this Company, but in some way moving the mine to the next stage almost means more to me than making a lot of money. Although I want to make a lot of money and understand that this news should open the door for a much higher share price.

We're not where we want to be just yet, but the news from yesterday puts a new, optimistic view of where FMG should be going forward. The news legitimizes the Company at least in the public eye.

I would expect Dan to have another webinar fairly soon to maybe talk about where we are now that we have the EA in hand. Keith may join in too and I would think there would a lot of optimistic discussion coming out of it.

Implanting, I hope we get the move you mentioned. I wonder if our move back into the 40s wasn't that move and the next major one will come with further news? Let us hope we do get another move higher today. We'll find out in a couple of hours.

I gotta say, for everyone who has been in this 10 years or more yesterday really felt like a defining moment. It was great reading all of your posts and seeing some folks who have not commented in a while chime in. It made my day.
