First Mining Gold Corp. will join the MVIS Global Junior Gold Miners Index (MVGDXJ). This index serves as the benchmark for the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ).

The inclusion takes effect at the close of trading on September 18, 2026. The addition follows the index's semi-annual review.

The GDXJ ETF provides exposure to small-capitalization gold and silver mining companies. This inclusion aims to increase First Mining’s visibility among global institutional and retail investors.

CEO Dan Wilton expects the move to improve trading liquidity and international capital market access. First Mining is currently advancing its Springpole and Duparquet gold projects in Canada.
