First Class Metals PLC emphasizes the significance of engaging with First Nations communities, who hold title to the lands where the company explores. The commitment includes regular and respectful engagement, understanding and responding to local needs, supporting economic development, establishing transparent processes for community concerns, and minimizing adverse effects on communities and the environment. CEO Marc's leadership is credited for maintaining a powerful level of engagement.

The company's engagement with First Nations is driven by both social and regulatory considerations. They deeply respect the rights, culture, and aspirations of the indigenous peoples and aim to protect and further their cultural heritage. Additionally, there is a pragmatic aspect, as Canadian mining regulations mandate consultation with First Nations before issuing exploration permits. The company's compliance with these regulations is crucial for their operations and shareholder interests.

First Class Metals PLC's approach has garnered support from the indigenous communities, enabling them to secure exploration permits for all flagship assets. The Netmizaaggamig Nishnaabeg First Nation commended the company's proactive engagement and commitment to protecting their lands and waters, setting a model for other companies seeking to work in their territory. The company is proud of the relationships built and intends to maintain and establish new ones as their exploration portfolio expands.
