First Mining Gold said that it will sell its remaining stake in a Newfoundland mining project to Big Ridge Gold in a cash and stock deal.
The miner said Monday it entered into an agreement with Big Ridge Gold to sell its last 20% interest in the Hope Brook Gold Project for 3 million Canadian dollars ($2.2 million) and 7 million Big Ridge shares.
Big Ridge shares have been performing well in 2025, rising nearly 24% and closing Friday at C$0.13 apiece.
At that price, shares would be worth about C$910,000.
First Mining said it will keep its exposure to the project through its position in Big Ridge.
The deal is expected to close in the third quarter of this year.
