First Class Metals Attendance at Resourcing Tomorrow 2025

1 December 2025

First Class Metals PLC ("First Class Metals", "FCM" or the "Company"), the
UK-listed exploration company advancing high-grade, district-scale gold
opportunities in Ontario,  Canada, as well as critical metals, is pleased to
announce its attendance at Resourcing Tomorrow, taking place from 2-4 December
2025 in London.

Chief Executive Officer, Marc Sale, Executive Chairman, James Knowles, and
Company Secretary, Siddharth Muricken,  will be on-site throughout the event
at the Business Design Centre, engaging with investors, industry leaders, and
potential strategic partners.

Opportunity to Experience FCM's Ontario Portfolio First-Hand

First Class Metals will be exhibiting at stand C30, where attendees will be
able to explore and discuss the Company's technical progress, strategic
development plans and exploration catalysts for 2026.

Core from Three High-Impact Projects on Display

In a major highlight for the event, FCM will be showcasing drill core and
geological samples from three projects. For those unable to attend,
high-resolution photographs of the core samples are included below, ensuring
full visibility for all shareholders.

·    North Hemlo (Gold) - A large, well-positioned gold-prospective land
package where drilling is currently under way, supported by multiple
identified targets and ongoing geological interpretation.

·    Sunbeam Gold Project (Gold) - A historically producing district scale
gold property hosting documented high-grade vein occurrences, with recent work
highlighting areas that remain under-explored.

·    Zigzag (Lithium & Critical Metals) Project - A lithium-bearing
project where drilling completed in 2023 returned high-grade Li₂O
intercepts, alongside additional critical-metal indicators that continue to be
evaluated.

These physical displays provide investors and stakeholders with a rare
opportunity to examine the mineralisation style, geological setting, and
technical quality driving FCM's exploration confidence.

James Knowles Executive Chairman commented:

"Our team is genuinely looking forward to connecting with the wider industry
at Resourcing Tomorrow. It's an ideal moment to present the advances across
our projects and to give attendees a first-hand look at core from North Hemlo,
Sunbeam and Zigzag."

First Class Metals PLC - Background

 

First Class Metals listed on the LSE in July 2022 and is focused on metals
exploration in Ontario, Canada which has a robust and thriving junior mineral
exploration sector. In particular, the Hemlo 'camp' near Marathon, Ontario is
a proven world class address for gold exploration, featuring the Hemlo gold
deposit previously operated by Barrick Mining (>23M oz gold produced), with
the past producing Geco and Winston Lake base metal deposits also situated in
the region.

FCM currently holds 100% ownership of seven claim blocks covering over 250km²
in north west Ontario. A further three blocks are under option and cover an
additional 30km(2).FCM is focussed on exploring for gold, but has base metals
and critical metals mineralisation. FCM is maintaining  a joint venture with
GT Resources on the West Pickle Lake Property a drill-proven ultra-high-grade
Ni-Cu project.

The flagship properties, North Hemlo and Sunbeam, are gold focussed. North
Hemlo has a significant discovery  in the Dead Otter trend  which is a
discontinuous 3.5km gold anomalous trend with a 19.6g/t Au peak grab sample.
This sampling being the highest known assay from a grab sample ever recorded
on the North Limb of Hemlo.

In October 2022 FCM completed the option to purchase the historical high-grade
past-producing Sunbeam gold mine near Atikokan, Ontario, ~15 km southeast of
Agnico Eagle's Hammond Reef gold deposit (3.3 Moz of open pit probable gold
reserves).

FCM acquired the Zigzag Project near Armstrong, Ontario in March 2023. The
property features Li-Ta-bearing pegmatites in the same belt as Green
Technology Metals' Seymour Lake Project, which contains a Mineral Resource
estimate of 9.9 Mt @ 1.04% Li2O. Zigzag was successfully drilled prior to
Christmas 2023 and results have now been released.

The Kerrs Gold property, acquired under option by First Class Metals in April
2024, is located in northeastern Ontario within the Abitibi Greenstone Belt,
one of the world's most prolific gold-producing regions. The project holds a
historical inferred resource of approximately 386,000 ounces of gold,
underscoring its potential as a meaningful addition to FCM's expanding gold
portfolio. Kerrs Gold complements the Company's exploration strategy and
provides exposure to a well-established mining district. FCM is currently
reviewing plans to advance the project and further unlock its value.

The significant potential of the properties for precious, base and battery
metals relates to 'nearology', since all properties lie in the same districts
as known deposits (Hemlo, Hammond Reef, Seymour Lake), and either contain
known showings, geochemical or geophysical anomalies, or favourable structures
along strike from known showings (e.g. the Esa project, with an inferred
Hemlo-style shear along strike from known gold occurrences).
