1911 Gold Files NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the True North Gold Project

TORONTO, Jan. 2, 2025 /CNW/ - 1911 Gold Corporation ("1911 Gold" or the "Company") (TSX-V: AUMB) (OTC: AUMBF) is pleased to announce that following the release of an updated underground Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") for the True North Gold Project on November 20, 2024, the Company has filed the National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") Technical Report for the 100% owned project in southeastern Manitoba, Canada.

Highlights

• Filing of Technical Report entitled "NI 43-101 Technical Report on the True North Gold Project, Bissett, Manitoba, Canada", prepared by Lions Gate Geological Consulting Inc. ("LGGC") and 1911 Gold, dated December 23, 2024, with an effective date of August 29, 2024
• Underground MRE defined for the True North Gold Project is reported within mineral resource constraining envelopes using a 2.25 grams per tonne ("g/t") Gold ("Au") threshold. All blocks within the envelopes are reported and tabulate as:
  • Indicated Mineral Resource of 3,516,000 t @ 4.41 g/t Au containing 499,000 ounces ("oz") Au 
  • Inferred Mineral Resource of 5,490,000 t @ 3.65 g/t Au containing 644,000 oz Au
• The MRE highlights areas for resource expansion both down plunge and along strike to the modeled veins, and within areas of historic drilling, for potential resource expansion with additional drilling
• Surface drill program (6,000 m) underway on new target areas that include:
  • Gold mineralization intersected in historic drillholes along strike from the resource and within 400 m of surface
  • New targets identified during the re-interpretation and remodelling of gold mineralization that are proximal to Au-bearing shear zones within favourable host rocks
• Planning for 25,000 m of resource expansion and new target drilling is underway for 2025

Shaun Heinrichs, President and CEO of 1911 Gold, commented, "We are pleased to have completed the compilation and filing of the updated Mineral Resource Estimate Technical Report for the True North Gold Project. The new robust resource estimate forms the base of our plans moving forward both for the recommencement of production and the expansion and growth of resources at the True North Gold mine. We have a significant exploration drill program underway on a number of new targets and are moving to expand this program in 2025 with more resource expansion drilling".

The updated NI 43-101 report is available for review on both SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and the Company's website (www.1911gold.com).

The updated True North MRE Technical Report was prepared by Susan Lomas, P.Geo, of LGGC, Bruce Davis, PhD, FAusIMM, and Michele Della Libera, P.Geo,, each of whom is considered a "Qualified Person" as defined in NI 43-101.

1911 Gold's press release dated November 20, 2024 (entitled "1911 Gold Announces Mineral Resource Estimate Update for the True North Gold Project") summarized the mineral resource estimate update in detail.

Future Plans

First phase surface drilling is currently underway on near surface areas outside of the resource where the new geological model has identified prospective new targets with significant mineralized intercepts from historical drilling. Initially three prioritized target areas have been identified and are the target of the current drill program (see Company's press release: "1911 Gold Initiates Surface Drill Program on New Exploration Targets at the True North Gold Mine", dated October 3, 2024). Drilling is continuing and results are due to be released in early 2025.

With the completion of the MRE, 1911 Gold has also identified areas of the resource model that are open and with additional drilling have the potential to expand the resources, in addition to new targets at depth in the deposit. The Company is currently compiling a drill plan of over 25,000 m of drilling for 2025 and has commenced work on a preliminary redevelopment plan, working closely with Éric Vinet, recently engaged as a key technical advisor, focusing on identifying suitable mining methods, expected costs, and overall economics supporting the restart strategy, to be covered in a new preliminary economic assessment study.
