Heiko Ihle has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors, primarily centered around the promising results from First Mining Gold’s 2025 drill program at the Duparquet project. The initial drill results have shown significant gold mineralization at both the Miroir and Valentre zones, with notable intercepts that suggest strong potential for resource expansion. These positive outcomes highlight the company’s effective allocation of exploration capital and its ability to achieve drilling efficiencies early in the program.
Furthermore, Ihle’s confidence is bolstered by the strategic focus on improving geological modeling and resource estimates, which could enhance the project’s value. The revised price target reflects a lower discount rate for the Springpole project due to recent successes, indicating a more favorable risk assessment. Additionally, the valuation of First Mining’s assets, including Tier 1 and 2 assets, suggests potential upside, especially when considering the company’s cash reserves and investments in other mining entities. These factors collectively underpin the Buy rating, as they are expected to drive shareholder value.
