1911 Gold begins diamond drilling at Ogama-Rockland

Executive Summary

• 1911 Gold Corp. has commenced a 2,200-metre surface diamond drill program at the Ogama-Rockland gold deposit, located approximately 27 km southeast of the True North gold project.
• The program aims to confirm the updated geological model and test extensions of high-grade, shallow quartz-vein-hosted gold mineralization, with an updated underground mineral resource estimate anticipated in the first half of 2026.
• Metallurgical test work will be conducted on drill core to verify the suitability of the True North processing facility for recovering gold from Ogama-Rockland.

Key Details

• Drilling Program Scope: 2,200 metres of surface diamond drilling planned across eight drill holes.
• Drilling Start Date: December 12, 2025.
• Primary Objectives:
  • Confirm the updated geological model.
  • Test downdip and along-strike extensions of the main vein system.
  • Test new parallel structures identified from relogging and resampling of historical core.
• Current Resource Estimate (NI 43-101 Compliant):
  • Inferred Mineral Resource: 1.28 million tonnes.
  • Grade: 8.17 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au).
  • Contained Gold: 337,000 ounces.
• Historical Context:
  • Ogama and Rockland mines produced approximately 45,000 ounces of gold between 1948 and 1951 at a grade of 11.25 g/t Au.
  • Previous drilling (2009–2012) totaled 27,873 metres in 77 holes.
  • Additional confirmation drilling in 2018 totaled 1,899 metres in six holes.
• Metallurgical Testing: Core samples will undergo test work to confirm the suitability of the True North gold processing plant for Ogama-Rockland ore.
• Financial Position: The company holds over $26 million in cash following a recently announced financing, supporting work in 2026 toward a mine restart in 2027.
• QA/QC Protocols:
  • Core sawed in half; one-half sampled, one-half retained.
  • Samples prepared and analyzed by Activation Laboratories Ltd. (Actlabs).
  • Gold analysis via fire assay with atomic absorption finish (50g pulp); reanalysis via gravimetric finish for values >10.00 g/t.
  • Certified reference materials inserted every 20 samples; blanks every 50 samples.
  • 5% of sample pulps analyzed by third party ALS Chemex.

Notable Quotes

• "Ogama-Rockland is one of the most advanced and immediately value-accretive satellite deposits within the company's Rice Lake exploration properties portfolio in the prolific Rice Lake greenstone belt... drill testing this target represents an important step towards expanding the high-grade resource base that supports our broader, district-scale growth strategy." — Shaun Heinrichs, President and CEO
