NOTICE AND ACCESS NOTIFICATION TO SHAREHOLDERS
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 2022
You are receiving this notification as First Mining Gold Corp. ("First Mining," the "Company", "we", "us" or "our") is using the notice and access model ("Notice and Access") for the delivery of meeting materials to our shareholders for the annual general meeting of our shareholders that will be held on Thursday, June 9, 2022 (the "Meeting"). The use of Notice and Access means delivery to our shareholders of the materials for the Meeting is more environmentally friendly as it will help reduce paper use and our carbon footprint and it should also reduce our printing and mailing costs.
Under Notice and Access, instead of receiving printed copies of the Company's management information circular (the "Circular") for the Meeting, the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021 and management's discussion and analysis thereon (collectively, the "Meeting Materials"), our shareholders are receiving this notification containing information on how to access the Meeting Materials electronically. However, together with this notification, shareholders continue to receive a proxy or voting instruction form, as applicable, enabling them to vote at the Meeting.

- Approve all Unallocated Entitlements under our Share-Based Compensation Plan: In accordance with the requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange, approve all unallocated entitlements under our share based compensation plan (see the section entitled "Particulars of the Matters to be Acted Upon – Approval of all unallocated entitlements under our share-based compensation plan" on page 14 of the Circular); and
