Ontario-focused precious and battery metal exploration company

Focused on precious and battery metals in a world-class destination

Here at First Class Metals (LON:FCM, FSE:WN9), we’re not afraid to work hard, and we always go the extra mile. We strive to not only be first class by name but first class in everything we do. It’s why we’re changing the way mining exploration is done in Canada.

Seeking critical metals and rare earth elements in short supply

Nickel. Lithium. Copper. Gold. Rare Earth Elements. Right now, the demand for these critical resources is huge, but the resources themselves are in short supply. There has never been a greater opportunity for exploration companies to make a real difference in the market.

Respecting the land and the indigenous people who use it

At FCM, we take great pride in fostering a culture of openness and collaboration with the First Nations groups we work with. We recognize the importance of building strong relationships based on mutual respect, trust, and understanding.

Our commitment to openness means that we actively seek input and engage in meaningful dialogue with First Nations communities throughout the various stages of our projects. We consider their perspectives, cultural values, and traditional knowledge while developing and executing our activities.

We understand the significance of consulting and collaborating with Indigenous communities, not just as a legal, but as an essential part of our responsible and sustainable approach. By valuing and incorporating their insights, we aim to minimize potential impacts, maximize benefits, and establish positive and long-lasting relationships.

We are dedicated to ensuring that First Nations groups have ample opportunities to participate in decision-making processes that affect their lands, rights, and well-being. This includes providing resources, information, and support to facilitate their meaningful involvement and to address any concerns they may have.

Our commitment to openness and collaboration goes beyond regulatory requirements. It is ingrained in our core values and reflects our genuine respect for the rights, culture, and aspirations of Indigenous communities. We actively seek to learn from and work alongside them for the benefit of all stakeholders involved.

By maintaining open lines of communication, fostering collaboration, and upholding our commitment to First Nations engagement, we strive to create positive relationships, drive sustainable development, and contribute to the well-being of the communities we operate in.

At First Class Metals (LON: FCM, FSE:WN9), we are determined to make significant discoveries across our portfolio, and we want to do so in a way that changes the mining industry in Ontario, and in Canada generally. It’s why, as you learn more about what we’re doing, you’ll see that we don’t always do things the easy way. Instead, we do things the right way. It’s why we’re the only UK company to receive a grant from the Canadian government. It’s why we’ve taken the time to do historical studies into the region going back hundreds of years. And it’s why we are pushing ahead to achieve our strategic goals. We like to make sure that we’re not only first class by name but first class in everything we do.
