1911 Gold Intersects up to 14.97 g/t Gold over 2.70 m including 71.60 g/t Au over 0.50 m on SAM Southeast Zone at True North

1911 Gold Corporation (" 1911 Gold " or the " Company ") (TSXV: AUMB; OTCBB: AUMBF; FRA: 2KY) is pleased to announce the assay results from eight (8) drill holes for 1,672.0 metres ("m") from the ongoing surface drill program at the recently discovered San Antonio Southeast target at the True North Project. The True North project, including a permitted mill, camp, and tailings facility, is centrally located on the Company's 100%-owned Rice Lake Gold property in southeast Manitoba, Canada .

Highlights:

  • Drilling has continued to expand the near-surface quartz vein hosted gold ("Au") mineralization on the recently discovered San Antonio Southeast ("SAM SE") target
  • Drilling is continuing on the SAM SE and SAM West targets as well as new, near-surface gold targets identified by the 1911 Gold geology team within the True North mine footprint

San Antonio Southeast Target

  • Drill results confirmed the southeastern extension of gold mineralization within the prolific San Antonio mafic unit to depths of over   400 m and along strike for over 500 m , including:
    • TN-25-034: Intersected 7.13 grams per tonne (g/t) Au over 2.10 m at a downhole depth of 99.00 m including 12.80 g/t Au over 1.00 m , 7.67 g/t Au over 1.00 m at a downhole depth of 139.70 m , and 14.97 g/t Au over 2.70 m at a downhole depth of 145.00 m including 71.60 g/t Au over 0.50 m
    • TN-25-033A: Intersected 7.71 g/t Au over 1.80 m at a downhole depth of 94.00 m , 7.05 g/t Au over 3.10 m at a downhole depth of 102.00 m including 16.50 g/t Au over 1.20 m , and 5.34 g/t Au over 6.00 m at a downhole depth of 121.50 m including 7.32 g/t Au over 1.20 m and 8.58 g/t Au over 1.10 m
    • TN-25-027: Intersected 18.80 g/t Au over 0.70 m at a down-hole depth of 27.90 m extending mineralization over a strike length of 50 m to the east of hole TN-24-023
    • TN-25-019: Intersected 13.20 g/t Au over 0.50 m at a down-hole depth of 253.00 m , extending mineralization over 125 m to the east of hole TN-24-011
    • TN-25-027: Intersected 18.80 g/t Au over 0.70 m at a down-hole depth of 27.90 m , extending mineralization over an additional strike length of 50 m from TN-24-023
    • TN-25-028: Intersected 8.36 g/t Au over 0.80 m at a downhole depth of 48.80 m , a 50 m down plunge extension of hole TN-24-027
    • TN-25-030: Intersected 8.78 g/t Au over 0.80 m at a downhole depth of 165.30 m , an 80 m down plunge extension from hole TN-24-021

Shaun Heinrichs , CEO and President, stated, "These latest results confirm the discovery of the SAM Southeast target as a parallel ore shoot similar to the San Antonio Mine vein system with the potential to have the same down-dip extension. These parallel systems are exactly what our geology team, under Michele Della Libera's leadership, are targeting – a repetition of mineralization, starting on surface and extending to depth, as a result of multiple east-west shear veins intersecting with the favourable host rocks identified at the True North project. The historical discovery of the Hinge, Cohiba, and 007 mines show the potential for a number of additional stacked systems, with our current drill program designed to test a number of new targets with similar significant potential."

1911 Gold has now completed thirty-one (31) surface drill holes, for a total of 7,216.4 m . The current drill program commenced in October 2024 and remains ongoing with new targets being generated and drill tested within prospective host rock, and structural settings, including significant historical results. The program is ongoing and planned to include up to 30,000 m of drilling by the end of 2025.

San Antonio Southeast target: Discussion of Results

Drilling completed to date has confirmed the extensions of gold mineralization within the SAM gabbro to over 500 m southeast of the historically mined San Antonio zone, covering an area 400 m long and over 550 m to depth. Twenty-one (21) drill holes for a total of 4,894.40 m have been completed to date on the SAM SE target area. Three drill holes were abandoned without reaching target depth due to ground conditions.

The latest drill holes extended the footprint of mineralization another 200 m to the southeast. The drilling completed to date on the SAM SE target confirmed the presence of a vein system parallel to the San Antonio Mine ore body, which has the same geological, alteration and mineralization characteristics. The high-grade gold intercepts in the drill holes released are also enhancing our confidence to define higher grade zones within the target area both along strike and down plunge. Further data interpretation will support the planning refinement for the next phase of exploration drilling, which will be focused on deeper drilling to properly define the potential extension of the zone. The mineralized intercepts are characterized by quartz-carbonate shear veins and vein breccias with sericite, chlorite alteration and up to 2% pyrite disseminated and in veinlets developed in association with northeast and northwest trending sub-vertical shear zones.

San Antonio Southeast Target

The San Antonio Southeast target is located approximately 350m 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 unit and the intersection with the L-10 shear zone. The SAM gabbro hosts the majority of the known gold mineralization within the True North Mine and historically produced 1,309,351 ounces Au at an average grade of 9.33 g/t Au. The SAM SE target also hosts the 710-711 vein system at depth, which contains a mineral resource 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 1,000 m down-dip of the current drilling. 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 (See Figure 2).

Next Steps

With the continued intersection of good gold mineralization in step-out drilling of near surface targets at the True North Gold Mine complex in the San Antonio West, Hinge East and San Antonio Southeast target areas, 1911 Gold is continuing to test new targets as well as expand the footprint of the newly discovered zones. The program's ongoing success has expanded the current drill program to comprise over 30,000 m of drilling. Two drill rigs have been operating on the property to test the open extensions at San Antonio West and San Antonio Southeast as well as other new targets.

Quality Assurance/Quality Controls (QA/QC)

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. 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. 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 third-party gold analyses for 5% of all submitted sample pulps are analyzed at ALS-Chemex Laboratory, North Vancouver, Canada .

Triumph Gold Discovers a New Silver and Gold Vein Showing at the Freegold Mountain Project, Yukon

Triumph Gold Discovers a New Silver and Gold Vein Showing at the Freegold Mountain Project, Yukon

triumph gold Corp. (TSXV: TIG) (OTC Pink: TIGCF) (FSE: 8N6) ("triumph gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the discovery of a new Silver-Gold vein system, now named the Proton Zone, at its 100%-owned Freegold Mountain Project in Yukon, Canada. The discovery lies 1.3 km northeast of the Nucleus Deposit and 2.75 km northwest of the Revenue Deposit.

The Proton Zone was uncovered in fresh bedrock exposed by placer mining at Mechanic Creek in a previously unexplored area. The mineralized zone spans approximately 15 x 15 metres and lies over 300 metres from the nearest historic sampling or drill hole (Figures 1-3). The shear-hosted quartz-sulfide veins share a similar geochemical signature to the nearby Nucleus deposit but are hosted in granodiorite, similar to the Revenue deposit.

M&I Conversion Program Drilling Continues to Expand and Confirm Continuity of High-Grade Gold and Silver Mineralization in the Shallowest Portion of the M&I Conversion Area

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • TXC25-138 returned multiple broad zones of high-grade silver and gold mineralization spanning from 230.4 metres to 241.86 metres down hole, including:
    • 4.24 metres grading 700 grams per tonne (g/t) silver equivalent (AgEq) (Ag/Au ratio 90:1) (378.5 g/t silver (Ag) and 3.57 g/t gold (Au)) from 230 metres down hole, including 0.31 metres grading 3,182 g/t AgEq (1,805.0 g/t Ag and 15.27 g/t Au); and
    • 5.18 metres grading 556 gt/ AgEq (328.2 g/t Ag and 2.53 g/t Au) from 236.68 metres, which included intervals of 3,340 g/t AgEq (1,987 g/t Ag and15.0 g/t Au) over 0.31 metres and 1,714 g/t AgEq (1,037.0 g/t Ag and 7.51 g/t Au) over 0.61 metres respectively.
  • There are ten drillholes with pending assays from the M&I Conversion Program, and seven drillholes are pending assays from the Resource Expansion program.
  • Modelling of the M&I Conversion Program drillholes is now underway, with an updated mineral resource estimate on track for Q3, 2025.

Blackrock Silver Corp. (TSXV: BRC) (OTCQX: BKRRF) (FSE: AHZ0) ("Blackrock" or the "Company") announces additional high-grade silver and gold drill intercepts from the M&I Conversion Program (as defined herein) at its 100% owned Tonopah West project ("Tonopah West") located in Nye and Esmeralda Counties, Nevada, United States.

The Company is currently in the process of completing its in-fill drilling program at Tonopah West which commenced in mid-July 2024 and consists of 62 drillholes within the shallow southern portion of the Bermuda-Merten vein group ("DPB South") resource area (the "M&I Conversion Area") with a goal to convert up to 1.0-million tonnes of material from inferred mineral resources to measured and indicated mineral resources (the "M&I Conversion Program"). The M&I Conversion Area represents the initial years of production based on the mine plan laid out in the Company's Preliminary Economic Assessment on Tonopah West (see September 4, 2024 news release).

Andrew Pollard, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "Additional results from our M&I Conversion Program continue to validate our model, supporting mineral continuity as we track and define the geometry of the high-grade shoots within the vein system. Today's results, coupled with results previously announced from this same program, highlight that broader intercepts are associated with higher-than-average grades which should be beneficial in delineating high-grade tonnes. The broad zones of high-grade mineralization encountered in drillhole TXC-138 are a standout for us, as at a composite of 11.46 metres of 514 g/t AgEq (290 g/t Ag & 2.48 g/t Au), this is thickest (composite) zone we've drilled throughout the district outside of the historic Victor mine. As we await the final assays from the M&I Conversion Program, modelling has begun for our upcoming mineral resource update on Tonopah West, currently on track for Q3, 2025."

AgEq = Ag + Au*(Factor); where Factor = (Au Price/Ag Price)*(Au Recovery/Ag Recovery or
Factor=($1900/$23)*(95%/87%)=90.21; True thickness is 90 to 100% of interval thickness based on the modelled
vein geometries; Cut-off grade is 150 gpt AgEq; Reverse Circulation (RC)/Core = RC pre-collar with core tail.

As is evident from Table 1, the highest-grade results are associated with thicker intercepts of quartz vein material. This is similar to previous results seen from the M&I Conversion Program where broader intercepts were encountered, such as: TXC24-095 which returned 5.03 metres of 774.5 g/t AgEq (461.5 g/t Ag and 3.47 g/t Au),1 TXC24-119 which returned 4.69 metres of 714 g/t AgEq (379.0 g/t Ag and 3.72 g/t Au),2 and TXC24-122 which cut 5.21 metres of 563 g/t AgEq (3.02 g/t Au and 292 g/t Ag)3 .This combination of high grade and thickness should have a positive impact on the proposed development of the M&I Conversion Area and the scheduled mineral resource update. Modelling of the M&I Conversion Program drillholes has started and an updated mineral resource estimate on Tonopah West is currently scheduled for Q3 2025.

The geometry of the high-grade silver and gold is sizable with high-grade shoots plunging to the northwest within the M&I Conversion Area. These shoots are open to the northwest, east and open down plunge. TXC25-138 shows high-grade shoots have thicker vein intercepts along the axis of the shoot and multiple high-grade intercepts are being returned under the M&I Conversion Program. Allowing for the 3 metres of internal waste, TXC25-138 would have a drill interval of 11.46 metres grading 290.2 g/t Ag and 2.48 g/t Au or 514.3 g/t AgEq. The thickness of this mineralized shoot is approaching those seen in the historic mining at the Victor and Ohio mines where the Victor vein area was 24 metres thick and the Ohio vein area was 15 metres thick4.

Drillholes TXC25-133, -134, -135, and TXC25-136 returned silver and gold assays below the cutoff grade for Table 1. The drillholes returned silver equivalent grades ranging between 100 and 144 g/t AgEq with silver values ranging between 6 to 71 g/t and gold values between 0.51 and 1.34 g/t. There are ten drillholes (TXC25-137, -139, -141, -142, and TXC25-146 to -TXC25-151) with pending assays from the M&I Conversion Program. In addition, seven drillholes are pending assays from the Company's exploration drill program that is targeting expansion potential across a one kilometre trend of vein corridor linking the Denver-Paymaster and Bermuda-Merten vein groups and the Northwest step out resource area at Tonopah West (the "Resource Expansion Program") (see February 24, 2025 news release).

Quality Assurance/ Quality Control

All sampling is conducted under the supervision of the Company's project geologists, and a strict chain of custody from the project to the sample preparation facility is implemented and monitored. The RC and core samples are hauled from the project site to a secure and fenced facility in Tonopah, Nevada, where they are loaded on to American Assay Laboratory's (AAL) flat-bed truck and delivered to AAL's facility in Sparks, Nevada. A sample submittal sheet is delivered to AAL personnel who organize and process the sample intervals pursuant to the Company's instructions.

The RC samples are lined out at the lab and logged in to AAL's system. The core samples are cut using core saws and personnel at AAL's facility in Sparks, Nevada according to the Company's instructions delivered with each core hole.

All samples are dried, crushed to 85% passing 10 mesh (2mm) and a 250-gram sub-sample split is collected and pulverized to 200 mesh (74 micron) in a ring and puck pulverizer. Then the pulverized material is digested and analyzed for gold using fire assay fusion and an Induced Coupled Plasma (ICP) finish on a 30-gram assay split (FA-PB30-ICP). Silver is determined using five-acid digestion and ICP analysis (ICP-5AM48). Over limits for gold and silver are determined using a gravimetric finish (GRAVAU30 and GRAVAG30). Data verification of the assay and analytical results are completed to ensure accurate and verifiable results. Blackrock personnel insert a blind prep blank, lab blank or a certified reference material approximately every 15th to 20th sample.
