CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This offering document contains “forward-looking statements” or “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company, or its mineral projects, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, expectations, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements or information. Such statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may”, “would”, “could”, “will”, “intend”, “expect”, “believe”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “scheduled”, “forecast”, “predict” and other similar terminology, or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. The forward-looking statements in this offering document include, among other things, statements relating to: the terms of and timing to complete the Offering (if at all); the exercise of the Agents’ Option; the business objectives of the Company, anticipated timelines and costs, and the use of the proceeds of the Offering and the use of available funds following completion of the Offering; the Company’s ability to satisfy the requirement to raise the minimum amount of the Offering; the Company’s ability to obtain all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSXV; fees and commissions payable in connection with the Offering; the Company’s plans for exploration and developments activities, including intended drill targets; and the anticipated costs and timing of the completion of the Company’s drilling programs or development of a maiden mineral resource, and the expected benefits derived therefrom.

These statements reflect the Company’s current expectations regarding future events, performance and results based on information currently available and speak only as of the date of this offering document. In making such statements or providing such information, the Company has made assumptions regarding, among other things: (i) the accuracy of the estimation of mineral resources; (ii) that exploration activities and studies will provide results that support anticipated development and extraction activities; (iii) that studies of estimated mine life and production rates at its mineral projects will provide results that support anticipated development and extraction activities; (iv) that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing on satisfactory terms, including financing necessary to advance the development of its projects; (v) that infrastructure anticipated to be developed or operated by third parties, including electrical generation and transmission capacity, will be developed and/or operated as currently anticipated; (vi) that laws, rules and regulations are fairly and impartially observed and enforced; (vii) that the market prices for gold and other minerals remain at levels that justify development and/or operation of any mineral project; (viii) general economic conditions; (ix) that labour disputes, surface rights disputes, access to property, flooding, ground instability, fire, failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated and other risks of the


4

mining industry will not be encountered; (x) competitive conditions in the mining industry; (xi) title to mineral properties; (xii) changes in laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Company; (xiii) that the Company will be able to obtain, maintain, renew or extend required permits; (xiv) the Company's expectations with respect to the terms of the Offering; (xv) the Company's expectations with respect to the use of proceeds and the use of the available funds following completion of the Offering; and (xvi) the completion of the Offering and the expected Closing Date. All other assumptions contained in this offering document constitute forward-looking information.

Forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indicators of whether or not such results will be achieved. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, unexpected changes in laws, rules or regulations, or their enforcement by applicable authorities, including potentially arbitrary action; the failure of parties to contracts with the Company to perform as agreed; social or labour unrest; changes in commodity prices; effects of pandemics, wars, terrorism or acts of god; unexpected changes in the cost of mining consumables; and the failure of exploration programs or current or future economic studies to deliver anticipated results or results that would justify and support continued exploration, studies, development or operations. New risks may emerge from time to time and the importance of current factors may change from time to time and it is not possible for the Company to predict all such factors, changes in such factors and to assess in advance the impact of such factor on its business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements contained in this offering document. Further risks, uncertainties and assumptions include, but are not limited to, those applicable to the Company and described in the Company's annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2024, which is available on the Company's profile on the System for Electronic Data Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR+) at www.sedarplus.ca.

Information concerning the interpretation of drill results also may be considered forward-looking statements, as such information constitutes a prediction of what mineralization might be found to be present if and when a project is actually developed. This offering document also contains references to estimates of mineral resources. The estimation of mineral resources is inherently uncertain and involves subjective judgments about many relevant factors. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The accuracy of any such estimates of mineral resources is a function of the quantity and quality of available data, and of the assumptions made and judgments used in engineering and geological interpretation (including estimated future production from the Company's mineral projects, including the Barsele Project, the anticipated tonnages and grades that will be mined and the estimated level of recovery that will be realized), which may prove to be unreliable and depend, to a certain extent, upon the analysis of drilling results and statistical inferences that may ultimately prove to be inaccurate. Mineral resource estimates may have to be re-estimated based on, among other things: (i) fluctuations in gold or other mineral prices; (ii) results of drilling; (iii) results of metallurgical testing and other studies; (iv) proposed mining operations, including dilution; (v) the evaluation of mine plans subsequent to the date of any estimates; and (vi) the possible failure to receive required permits, approvals and licences.

Although the forward-looking statements contained in this offering document are based upon what management of the Company believes are reasonable assumptions, the Company cannot assure readers that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, as a result of, amongst others, those factors noted above. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this offering document and are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Subject to applicable securities laws, the Company assumes no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this offering document.

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

What is our business?

First Nordic is a Canadian-based gold exploration company, consolidating assets in Sweden and Finland to create Europe’s next gold camp. The Company’s flagship asset in northern Sweden is the Barsele Gold Project (the “Barsele Project”), a joint venture project with senior gold producer Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (“Agnico Eagle”). First Nordic holds a 45% interest in the Barsele Project joint venture. Immediately surrounding the Barsele Project, the Company is 100%-owner of a district-scale license position comprised of three additional projects (Paubäcken Project, Storjuktan Project, Klippen Project), which combined with the Barsele Project, total 104,000 hectares on the Gold Line Belt in Sweden. Additionally, in northern Finland, First Nordic is the 100%-owner of a district-scale position covering the entire Oijärvi Greenstone Belt, including the Kylmäkangas gold-silver deposit (the “Kylmäkangas Deposit”), the largest known gold occurrence in the underexplored Oijärvi Greenstone Belt. At present, the Barsele Project, the nearby Paubäcken Project, Storjuktan Project, Klippen Project and the Kylmäkangas Deposit are all considered exploration stage projects, and consequently have no current operating income, cash flow or revenues. There is no assurance that commercially viable mineral deposits exist on any of the Company’s properties.

Recent Developments

On July 10, 2024, the Company announced its engagement of ICP Securities Inc. (“ICP”) to provide automated market making services, including use of its proprietary algorithm, ICP Premium™, in compliance with the policies and guidelines of the TSXV and other applicable legislation. The Company paid ICP a monthly fee of $7,500, plus applicable taxes, for a 4-month initial term, automatically renewing for subsequent 1-month terms unless either party provides written notice.

On July 11, 2024, the Company announced an amendment to the exercise price of 3,161,558 outstanding Common Share purchase warrants of the Company that were issued as part of the Company’s second non-brokered private placement financing (as further described in the news release dated August 12, 2022). The warrants had an exercise price of $0.45 which the Company amended to $0.36. In addition, the Company announced a warrant exercise incentive program (the “Second Warrant Incentive Program”), offering holders of all the above-noted outstanding warrants the opportunity to exercise each of their outstanding warrants between 12:00 p.m. PST on July 11, 2024, and 12:00 p.m. PST on July 26, 2024. In return for the early exercise, each holder received one Common Share pursuant to the original warrant terms, plus as an incentive, one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant. Each incentive warrant allowed the holder to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.40 for a period of two years following the date of the issuance of the incentive warrant. The Company announced the completion of the Second Warrant Incentive Program on July 30, 2024, as well as the exercise of additional Company warrants and stock options, providing aggregate gross proceeds of $1,147,130 to First Nordic. In total in July 2024, the Company raised approximately $3.9 million from the exercise of warrants and stock options.

On July 22, 2024, the Company announced its summer / fall exploration programs for the Storjuktan Project, Paubäcken Project and Klippen Project. The Storjuktan Project is to continue detailed property-wide geochemical survey by collecting ~38,000 glacial till samples to cover the remaining 23,000 hectares of the project; full property 25,000 hectares UAV magnetic geophysical survey (50 metre spaced lines). The Paubäcken Project is to conduct base-of-till (“BoT”) drilling on the Brokojan target (~100 holes) and follow up on best BoT drill result to date, 5.01 g/t Au, at the Aida target. The Klippen Project program will include up to 120 top-of-bedrock (“ToP”) drill holes and is designed to systematically test the bedrock along a 2

On September 30, 2024, the Company announced the appointment of Mr. Jeffrey Couch to the Company's board of directors (the "Board").

On October 30, 2024, the Company announced a bought deal private placement financing (the "2024 Offering"), pursuant to which underwriters purchased 30,304,000 units of the Company at a price of $0.33 per unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $10,000,320. Each unit consisted of one Common Share and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant which entitled the holder to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.45 for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the 2024 Offering. The Company granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 15% of the 2024 Offering in units at the issue price of $0.33, exercisable in whole or in part at any time up to 48 hours prior to the closing date of the 2024 Offering. The units issued under the 2024 Offering were offered by way of private placement in Canada and were subject to a hold period in Canada expiring four months and one day from the closing date of the 2024 Offering.

On November 26, 2024, the Company announced the closing of the 2024 Offering for aggregate gross proceeds of $11,500,368, including the exercise in full of the option granted to the underwriters (as more particularly described above and in the news release of the Company dated October 30, 2024). The 2024 Offering consisted of the issuance of 34,849,600 units, each consisting of one Common Share and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant, at a price of $0.33 per unit.

The Company expects to the cost of the Phase 1 Drill Program to be approximately $8 million. As of the date of this offering document, the Phase 1 Drill Program is more than 50% complete, with the remainder of the Phase 1 Drill Program anticipated to be completed by the end of 2025. The remaining costs of the Phase 1 Drill Program will be paid for using funds from this Offering. The Company may also undertake other exploration activities in respect of its projects during the current fiscal year to support the Phase 1 Drill Program.

During the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, the Company intends to undertake phase 2 of its drill program to drill up to 25 kilometres on the Company’s top three key exploration targets based on results

from the Phase 1 Drill Program (the “Phase 2 Drill Program”). The Company expects to the cost of the Phase 2 Drill Program to be approximately $8 million and anticipates the target completion date of Phase 2 Drill Program to be complete by the end of 2026. The commencement of the Phase 2 Drill Program will be paid for using available funds from the Offering, with the total amount dependent on the size of the Offering. In The Company may also undertake other exploration activities in respect of its projects during such fiscal year to support the Phase 2 Drill Program.

Thereafter, the Company intends to complete work to develop a maiden mineral resource estimate at one or two of its exploration targets. While no funds from the Offering will be directly used in respect of developing this maiden mineral resource estimate, the work from the Phase 1 Drill Program and Phase 2 Drill Program is expected to largely inform the development of such resource estimate.

See “Use of Available Funds – How will we use the available funds?” below for additional information in respect of the anticipated use of available funds in respect of these business objectives and other anticipated uses of available funds.

The above noted allocation represents the Company's current intentions with respect to its use of proceeds based on current knowledge, planning and expectations of management of the Company. Although the Company intends to expend the proceeds from the Offering as set forth above, there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be deemed prudent or necessary and may vary materially from that set forth above, as the amounts actually allocated and spent will depend on a number of factors, including the Company's ability to execute on its business plan and financing objectives. The Company has generated negative cash flows from operating activities since inception and anticipates that it will continue to have negative operating cash flow until profitable commercial production at one or more of its properties is achieved. As a result, certain of the net proceeds from the Offering may be used to fund such negative cash flow from operating activities in future periods. See the "Cautionary Statement On Forward-Looking Information" section above.

Barsele Project Mineral Resource Estimate

The Barsele Project resource estimate is derived from the Barsele Technical Report.

Area (mining method) Cut-off (g/t) Indicated Resource Inferred Resource
Tonnage ('000) Au (g/t) Ounces Tonnage ('000) Au (g/t) Ounces
Open Pit 0.5 3,452 1.32 147,000 1,819 1.59 93,000
Underground Bulk 1.5 1,442 2.53 117,000 8,759 2.58 728,000
Underground Selective 1.8 684 2.75 60,000 14,917 2.64 1 265,000
Total 5,578 1.81 324,000 25,495 2.54 2,086,000

Mineral Resource Estimate Footnotes:
1. The Independent and Qualified Persons for the Mineral Resource Estimate, as defined by NI 43-101, is Carl Pelletier, P. Geo., from InnovExplo Inc., and the effective date of the Mineral Resource Estimate is February 21, 2019.
2. These mineral resources are not mineral reserves as they do not have demonstrated economic viability.
3. The mineral resource estimate follows current CIM definitions and guidelines for mineral resources.
4. The results are presented undiluted and are considered to have reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction.
5. The estimate encompasses 61 gold-bearing zones, each defined by individual wireframes with a minimum true thickness of $2.0\mathrm{m}$ using the grade of the material when assayed or a value of zero when not assayed. The resource was estimated using GEOVIA GEMS 6.8.


14

  1. High-grade capping supported by statistical analysis was carried out on assay data and established on a per domain basis for gold (g/t Au): low-grade mineralized envelope = 5.0 g/t Au, high-grade gold-bearing zones: Skiråsen = 30.0 g/t Au, Central = 30.0 to 40.0 g/t Au, Avan = 20.0 g/t Au.
  2. Grade interpolation was performed by ordinary kriging on 2.0-m composites from drill-hole intersections falling within the mineralized zones in a block model using a block size of 10 m by 3 m by 5 m.
  3. Density values were applied based on lithology. All mineralized zones were assigned 2.73 g/cm³.
  4. The Mineral Resource Estimate is classified as Indicated and Inferred. The Inferred category is defined with a minimum of two (2) drill holes within the areas where the drill spacing is less than 100 metres and shows reasonable geological and grade continuity. The Indicated mineral resource category is defined with a minimum of two (2) drill holes within the areas where the drill spacing is less than 25 m. Clipping boundaries were used for classification based on those criteria.
  5. The cut-off grades were calculated using the following parameters: mining cost = USD 35.00 to USD 45.00; processing cost = USD 15.00; G&A = USD 5.00 to USD 8.00; refining and selling costs = USD 10.00; gold price = USD 1,300.00; and metallurgical recovery = 92.6%. The cut-off grades should be re-evaluated in light of future prevailing market conditions (metal prices, exchange rates, mining costs etc.).
  6. The number of metric tons were rounded to the nearest thousand, following the recommendations in NI 43-101 and any discrepancies in the totals are due to rounding effects. The metal contents are presented in troy ounces (tonnes x grade / 31.10348).
  7. InnovExplo is not aware of any known environmental, permitting, legal, title-related, taxation, socio-political, or marketing issues, or any other relevant issue not reported in the Barsele Technical Report, that could materially affect the Mineral Resource Estimate.
