If you will not be attending the Meeting virtually via the live webcast, we request that you read, date and sign the accompanying proxy and deliver it to our transfer agent, Computershare Investors Services Inc. (“ Computershare ”). If a shareholder does not deliver a proxy to Computershare, Attention: Proxy Department, 100 University Avenue, 8[th] Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1, by 10:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) on Friday, June 12, 2020 (or before 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, before any adjournment of the Meeting at which the proxy is to be used), the shareholder will not be entitled to vote online during the virtual Meeting by proxy.

Shareholders who wish to appoint a third-party proxyholder to represent them virtually at the Meeting must submit their proxy or voting instruction form (if applicable) prior to registering their third-party proxyholder. Registering your proxyholder is an additional step once you have submitted your proxy or voting instruction form. Failure to register your third-party proxyholder will result in the proxyholder not receiving a 15-digit Control Number, and therefore not being able to vote during the virtual Meeting .

To register a proxyholder, shareholders MUST visit http://www.computershare.com/FirstMiningGold by Friday, June 12, 2020 and provide Computershare with their proxyholder’s contact information, so that Computershare may provide the proxyholder with a 15-digit Control Number via e-mail.

Without a Control Number, your third-party proxyholder will not be able to vote at the Meeting.

If you would like us to send you a paper copy of the Meeting Materials, please contact Spiros Cacos, our Vice President, Investor Relations, at 1.844.306.8827 or by e-mail: [email protected].
