1911 Gold starts drill program at True North

Executive Summary

• 1911 Gold has mobilized its first underground drill rig to Level 16 (≈695 m below surface) to begin a 25,000‑metre, 122‑hole drilling campaign at the True North gold project.
• The program targets resource expansion, step‑out and infill drilling, and delineation work for two trial‑test mining zones slated for mid‑2026.
• Over 20 km of surface drilling (71 holes) has already been completed; assay results from 11 surface holes are pending.

Key Details

• Underground Drill Mobilization: First rig positioned on Level 16 to drill the San Antonio Southeast (SAM SE), San Antonio West (SAM W) and new Shore targets.
• Program Scope: ~25,000 m of underground drilling in 122 holes over the next nine months.
• Surface Drilling Completed: 20,342 m in 71 holes, primarily on SAM W and SAM SE; assay results from 11 holes (5,368 m total) pending.
• Exploration Targets:
• Down‑dip extension of SAM SE and the emerging Shore target within the SAM gabbro unit intersecting the 007 shear zone.
• Approximately 10,000 m in 24 holes from Level 16 and lower L13 area (once access is regained).
• Resource Expansion Drilling: ~6,000 m in 18 holes focusing on veins in zones 710‑711, L10, 007 and Hinge; step‑out drilling to test up‑ and down‑plunge extensions.
• Test‑Mining Delineation Drilling: ~9,000 m in 80 holes to upgrade resources to measured category for two trial‑test mining areas (Hinge zone – Veins 800 & 820; L10 zone – Veins 1020 & 1040) in preparation for a mid‑2026 test mine.
• Rig Deployment Plan: Initial use of two underground drill rigs, with additional rigs to be added as new access points are established.
• Qualified Person Review: Technical information reviewed and approved by Michele Della Libera, P.Geo., VP Exploration (NI 43‑101 qualified).
