1911 Gold Intersects 8.42 g/t Gold over 0.91 m and 7.23 g/t Gold over 1.05 m in Drilling at True North

 

 

 

 

 

1911 Gold Corporation (TSX-V: AUMB) (OTCBB: AUMBF) (FRA: 2KY) is pleased to announce the assay results from ten drill holes for 2,222.00 metres 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 Manitoba, Canada.

 

Highlights:

  • Drill results confirmed the extension of quartz vein hosted, near-surface gold (“Au”) mineralization on both the San Antonio West and Hinge East targets

 

San Antonio West Target

  • Drill results confirmed the western extension of gold mineralization hosted within the prolific San Antonio mafic unit, including:
    • Drill hole TN-24-005 intersected 3.10 m @ 2.45 grams per tonne (“g/t”) Au at a down-hole depth of 122.75 m and 0.65 m @ 7.76 g/t Au at a down-hole depth of 147.00 m
    • Drill hole TN-24-006 intersected 4.84 m @ 3.70 g/t Au at a down-hole depth of 125.38 m, including 1.05 m @ 7.23 g/t Au and 0.91 m @ 8.42 g/t Au
    • Drill hole TN-24-007 intersected 1.80 m @ 2.49 g/t Au at a down-hole depth of 115.45 m

 

Hinge East Target

  • Drilling intersected a wide quartz vein, and vein breccia intersected at 33.00 m vertical depth within a 42.60 m core length, including:
    • Drill hole TN-24-003 intersected 3.45 m @ 2.85 g/t Au at a down hole depth of 44.65 m, including 0.55 m @ 6.20 g/t Au and 0.50 m @ 6.30 g/t Au

 

Shaun Heinrichs, President & CEO, stated, “When we first reviewed our updated model in 2024 and identified these prospective targets, we were surprised to find that these areas had largely remained untested at the surface, despite positive results at depth or along strike. Now that we are seeing the initial results from our first phase of drilling, we are excited about the potential for a parallel vein structure at San Antonio West, as well as the possible near-surface mineralization at Hinge East. Using these results and historical drilling data in the area, Michele and his team have designed a follow-up program to trace this mineralization along strike and to depth. A second drill rig will mobilize in the coming weeks as we expand the drill program and continue advancing these targets alongside the ongoing drilling underway at the San Antonio Southeast target.

San Antonio West target

 

The San Antonio West target covers the western extension of the historically mined San Antonio zone of the True North Mine gold mineralized vein system. Drilling completed to date has confirmed the extension of gold mineralization to over 260 m west of the San Antonio zone and to depths of over 170 m. Six (6) holes for a total of 921.00 m were drilled within this target, of which four intersected significant gold mineralization within shear veins hosted in the San Antonio mafic gabbro unit, which hosts the majority of the known gold mineralization within the True North Mine and historically produced 1,309,351 ounces Au at a grade of 9.33 g/t Au.

 

The mineralized intercepts are characterized by quartz-carbonate shear veins with sericite, chlorite, minor tourmaline alteration and up to 2% pyrite disseminated and veinlets. They are interpreted to be the western extension of the San Antonio zone vein system. Drill hole TN-24-005 intersected 3.10 m @ 2.45 g/t Au from 122.75 m downhole depth within strong silicified mafic and 0.65 m @ 7.76 g/t Au from 147.0 m downhole depth in a shear vein with tourmaline and chlorite alteration and disseminated pyrite within the SAM unit. Drill hole TN-24-006 intersected 4.84 m @ 3.70 g/t Au from 125.38 m downhole depth, including 1.05 m @ 7.23 g/t Au from 126 m and 0.91 m @ 8.42 g/t Au from 128.55 m downhole within a quartz-carbonate shear vein with 2% pyrite disseminated and in veinlets.

 

The potential exists to extend the mineralized zone to the east, approximately 150 m to the edge of the SAM vein system and at depth following its known dip (50° to the NNE). The Company is planning a follow-up drilling program to test the open extensions of mineralization.

 

Hinge East Target

 

The Hinge East target covers the gold mineralized vein extensions hosted within the Dacitic Lapilli Tuff unit between the Hinge Zone and Cohiba Zone within the True North Project. Two (2) drill holes for 544.00 m were completed. Drill hole TN-24-003 intersected a shallow wide quartz vein (42.60 m core length) with a weighted average of 0.49 g/t Au. A higher-grade interval was defined within the vein system of 3.45 m at 2.85 g/t Au from 44.65 m down hole depth, including 0.55 m @ 6.20 g/t Au and 0.50 m @ 6.30 g/t Au. This interval is characterized by quartz-carbonate shear vein with sericite and chlorite alteration and 1% disseminated pyrite. Drill hole TN-24-004, designed to undercut TN-24-003 by 50 m, intersected 17.00 m of quartz vein containing 0.84 m @ 1.96 g/t Au. The mineralized zone is interpreted to be open along strike to the west within favourable host rock and along a shear zone, in an area never explored, where further drilling is currently being planned.

 

Cohiba East target

 

The Cohiba East target was interpreted as the eastern extension of the Cohiba Zone vein system hosted within the Volcaniclastic “B” unit. Two (2) drill holes, totaling 757.00 m, were completed on this target, intersecting quartz veining without significant gold mineralization.

 

San Antonio Southeast target

 

The San Antonio Southeast target is the southeastern extension of the known gold mineralization within the San Antonio Zone vein system. It is located at the intersection of the highly mineralized SAM unit and the interpreted L10 shear zone.

 

The drill program is ongoing on this target with the completion of twelve (12) holes for a total of 3,522 m, ten (10) of the drill holes intercepted the interpreted shear zone with quartz-carbonate veining within the SAM unit. Final assay results are pending for these holes.

 

Next Steps

 

The current planned drill program testing targets within the True North Gold Mine complex has been successful in the definition of several new areas of gold mineralization, confirming the near surface extensions of gold mineralization for the San Antonio West, Hinge East and San Antonio Southeast target areas (assay results pending). Based on the results received to date and the new exploration targets that have been developed, 1911 Gold will extend the current surface drill program. Work has commenced on recommissioning the hoist on the A Shaft to provide access for underground drilling from the 16 level in the True North underground mine. The review of potential regional targets within the greater Rice Lake greenstone belt, including at Central Manitoba is also underway.

 

Quality Assurance/Quality Controls

 

Core samples are collected by sawing the drill core in half along the axis, with one-half sampled, placed in plastic sample bags, labelled, sealed and the other half retained for future reference. Batches are shipped to Activation Laboratories Ltd. (Actlabs), in Thunder Bay, Ontario for sample preparation and analysis. Samples are dried, crushed to 2mm and a 1 kg split is pulverized to -200 mesh. . Gold analysis is completed by fire-assay with an atomic absorption finish on 50 grams of prepared pulp. Samples returning values greater or equal to 5.00 g/t are reanalysed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Total gold analysis (Screen Metallic Sieve) is conducted on highly mineralized samples or the presence of visible gold, depending on the amount of sample material remaining available. Certified gold reference material samples are inserted every 20 samples and blank samples at intervals of one in every 50 samples, with additional blanks inserted after samples hosting visible gold. Repeat gold analyses for 5% of all submitted sample pulps conducted at a third-party certified laboratory.
