1911 Gold Intersects up to 21.80 g/t Gold over 0.50 m within 6.46 g/t Au over 2.20 m in Drilling at True North

VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 26, 2025 /CNW/ - 1911 Gold Corporation ("1911 Gold" or the "Company") (TSXV: AUMB) (OTCBB: AUMBF) (FRA: 2KY) is pleased to announce the assay results from Thirteen (13) drill holes for 3,222.40 metres ("m") from the surface exploration drilling program currently in progress at the True North Project located on the Company's 100%-owned Rice Lake Gold property in southeast Manitoba, Canada.

Highlights:

  • Drill results defined near-surface quartz vein hosted gold ("Au") mineralization on the San Antonio Southeast ("SAM SE") target

  • A second drill rig has been mobilized and is currently drill testing the extensions of the San Antonio West target

San Antonio Southeast Target

  • Drill results confirmed the southeastern extension of gold mineralization hosted within the prolific San Antonio mafic unit to depths of over 400 m and along a strike length of over 300 m, including:

    • Drill hole TN-25-011 intersected 8.37 grams per tonne ("g/t") Au over 0.84 m at a down-hole depth of 277.74 m

    • Drill hole TN-25-014 intersected 13.40 g/t Au over 0.69 m at a down-hole depth of 361.71 m

    • Drill hole TN-25-021 intersected 14.00 g/t over 0.50 m at a downhole depth of 33.10 m, and 6.46 g/t Au over 2.20 m at a downhole depth of 60.10m, including 21.80 g/t Au over 0.50 m

    • Drill hole TN-25-023 intersected 9.37 g/t Au over 0.50 m at a downhole depth of 37.00 m

    • Drill hole TN-25-024 intersected 4.55 g/t Au over 1.00 m at a downhole depth of 73.00 m, and 14.50 g/t Au over 0.50 m at a downhole depth of 106.60 m

Shaun Heinrichs, President & CEO, stated, "This latest discovery is exciting not only because it is near mine and located within the same host rock unit that contains the prolific San Antonio zone, but also because the target is within the L-10 shear zone that hosts over 100,000 ounces where it intersects the shoreline basalt unit to the east. Our models also indicate that the L-10 shear zone extends to depth and contains the larger 710-711 vein resource, a step-out discovery on the "26 Level" in the True North mine. This is over 1,000 metres below surface, highlighting a large target zone between the near-surface mineralization intersected in these drill holes and the mineral resources at depth. Using these results and historical drilling data in the area, Michele and his team have designed a follow-up program to test for extensions of this mineralization along strike and to depth."

San Antonio Southeast target: Discussion of Results

The San Antonio Southeast target covers an area southeast of the historically mined San Antonio zone of the True North Gold Mine. The San Antonio Southeast target occurs within the gabbro of the San Antonio Mafic (SAM) unit at the intersection with the L-10 shear zone. The same geological setting hosts the 710-711 vein system, which contains a mineral resource inventory of 198,000 oz Au @ 5.21 g/t Au indicated and 118,000 oz Au @ 3.91 g/t Au (see press release dated November 20, 2024, "1911 Gold Announces Mineral Resource Estimate Update for the True North Gold Project") located on the "26 Level" of the True North underground mine at a depth approximately 1,000m below the current drill target area. The L-10 shear zone also hosts a gold mineralized vein system within the parallel Shoreline Basalt unit containing 58,000 oz Au @ 4.99 g/t Au indicated and 61,000 oz @ 3.96 g/t Au inferred resources.
