First Mining Gold joins VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF
Vancouver-based First Mining Gold Corp. will join the MVIS Global Junior Gold Miners Index effective September 18, 2026. The inclusion links the developer to the widely followed GDXJ exchange-traded fund, a move management anticipates will bolster trading liquidity and broaden the company's visibility among institutional and retail investors.
The addition of First Mining (TSX: FF) follows the semi-annual rebalancing of the index, which benchmarks the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF. This fund specifically tracks small-cap companies that derive at least half of their revenue or mineral resources from gold and silver mining.
CEO Dan Wilton noted that the index inclusion serves as a strategic milestone as the company advances its core assets, including the Springpole Gold Project in Ontario and the Duparquet Gold Project in Quebec. First Mining, founded in 2015, holds a portfolio focused on Canadian development projects, with the federal Environmental Assessment for Springpole receiving approval earlier this year.
