- Drilling confirms the down-dip extensions of the near-surface quartz vein hosted gold ("Au") mineralization on the new San Antonio Southeast (SAM SE) target, including:
- TN-25-033: Intersected 5.52 grams per tonne (g/t) Au over 6.50 m at a downhole depth of 111.10 m , including 7.78 g/t Au over 1.70 m , and 34.20 g/t Au over 0.50 m , and 54.00 g/t Au over 0.50m at a downhole depth of 120.50 m
- TN-25-038: Intersected 8.38 g/t Au over 0.50 m at a downhole depth of 188.00 m , 5.64 g/t Au over 0.70 m at a downhole depth of 193.30 m and 5.15 g/t Au over 3.50 m at a downhole depth of 195.60 m , including 16.80 g/t Au over 0.90 m
- TN-25-054: Intersected 13.90 g/t Au over 0.50 m at a downhole depth of 373.30 m and 3.68 g/t Au over 0.70 m at a downhole depth of 402.00 m
"These intercepts represent the final holes drilled prior to our seasonal break in May, which was extended due to wildfire-related access restrictions in the region," stated Shaun Heinrichs , President and CEO. "These results have further extended the vein system parallel to the San Antonio Mine vein system to over 550 metres depth. With the resumption of drilling in early July, we are excited to see the continued expansion of this zone at depth, in advance of commencing our underground drill program in September. With the recent completion of our successful financing, we are finalizing preparations in the underground mine to support a significant underground drill campaign, targeting our two new surface discoveries and new underground targets designed to extend our current resource."
1911 Gold has now completed sixty-two (62) surface drill holes (two did not reach target depths), for a total of 14,974.40 m of drilling. The current exploration drill program, within the True North Mine footprint, commenced in October 2024 and focused on new targets comprised of prospective host rocks and mineralized structural settings, including significant historical drill results. There are now two active drill rigs targeting the SAM SE and San Antonio West ("SAM W") zones, testing the depth extensions of the mineralization intersected to date. Planning is underway for future underground exploration drilling, which is expected to start at the end of the third quarter.

S an 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-seven (27) holes for a total of 6,789.40 m have been drilled on the SAM SE target area. Two drill holes were abandoned without reaching the target depth due to ground conditions.
The exploration drilling on the SAM SE target has confirmed the presence of a vein system parallel to the San Antonio Mine ore body, which shares the same geological, alteration, and mineralization characteristics. The high-grade gold intercepts in the drill holes released to date are also enhancing our confidence to extend the higher-grade gold zones to the east within the intersection of the SAM gabbro and the 007 shear zone corridor, in an area with no historical drilling. 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.
Drill hole TN-25-033 ( 6.50 m @ 5.52 g/t Au, including 1.70 m @ 7.78 g/t Au and 0.50 m @ 34.20 g/t Au, and 0.50 m @ 54.00 g/t Au) was drilled as a twin hole of TN-25-033A and terminated at 121 m depth after intersecting historical mine workings. The hole confirmed the same high-grade gold zone intercepted by the previously released TN-25-033A drill hole ( 6.00 m @ 5.34 g/t Au, including 1.20 m @ 8.58 g/t Au and 1.10 m @ 8.58 g/t Au) 1 .
Drill hole TN-25-038, ( 0.50 m @ 8.38 g/t Au and 3.50 m @ 5.15 g/t Au, including 0.90 m @ 16.80 g/t Au), tested the extensions 80 m to the east of drill hole TN-25-030 ( 3.70 m @ 3.27 g/t Au, including 0.80 m @ 8.78 g/t Au) 1 and 100 m down dip of drill hole TN-25-024 ( 1.00 m @ 4.55 g/t Au and 0.50 m @ 14.50 g/t Au) 2 .
Drill hole TN-25-054 confirmed the down plunge extensions (over 500 m ) of gold mineralization from surface, intersecting 0.50 m @13.90 g/t Au and 0.70 m @ 3.68 g/t Au, and extended the gold mineralization from drill hole TN-25-014 ( 0.69 m @ 13.40 g/t Au) 2 , approximately 100 km to the west.

San Antonio Southeast Target
The San Antonio Southeast target is located approximately 350 m 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.
L10 Target
The L-10 target occurs on the intersection of the L-10 shear and the Shoreline basalt and hosts the L-10 resource comprised of 58,000 oz Au from 363,000 tons @ 4.99 g/t Au indicated and 61,000 oz Au from 479,000 tons at 3.96 g/t Au inferred resources. Two (2) drill holes, totaling 570.00 m , were completed on this target to test the up-dip extensions of the resource, with both intercepting well-developed quartz veining assaying up to 0.50 m @ 1.59 g/t Au but not the favourable basalt host unit. Interpretation of the extensions of this resource are ongoing.
SAM Fold Target
The Sam Fold target occurs on the major regional bend of the prolific SAM gabbro unit to the south of the gold resources at True North. (Figure 1). Two (2) drill holes, totaling 628.00 m , were completed on this target, with both intercepting well-developed quartz veining within the SAM gabbro but no mineralized shearing in this location.
Cohiba West Target (former Hinge East)
One (1) drill hole for 182.0 m drilling was completed on the Cohiba West target to test the eastern extensions of the wide quartz vein system with gold mineralization intersected in drill hole TN-24-003 ( 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). ( See press release dated February 4, 2025 "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" ). The hole intersected the targeted Wingold dacitic breccia host unit. The wide zone of quartz veining previously intersected narrows in this area, and no significant assay results are reported. Interpretation is ongoing.

Next Steps
Building on the strong results achieved to date on both the SAM SE and SAM West targets, 1911 Gold recommenced surface drilling in early July to test the depth extensions on both targets while conducting preparations for underground drilling for the next phase of exploration at the True North project. It is anticipated that work will be complete by late August on all priority areas within Level 16 ( 695 m depth below surface) and necessary supporting levels, allowing for the mobilization of underground drill rigs in early September. Targeting has been completed on multiple high-priority underground areas that can be tested from Level 16, and which show potential for significant resource growth and supporting the mine planning activities currently underway.
Concurrently, the Company is actively evaluating additional targets across the property and advancing permitting for a surface drill program at Ogama-Rockland, which contains a near-surface, high-grade 43-101 mineral resource and is located 35 km by road southeast of the True North complex.
