Leocor Mining Drills 28.5 g/t Au over 0.4m at Dorset Gold Project, Baie Verte, Newfoundland

(TheNewswire)

Vancouver, British Columbia TheNewswire - August 6, 2025 - Leocor Mining Inc. (the " Company " or " Leocor ") (CSE: LECR,OTC:LECRF, OTCQB: LECRF; Frankfurt: LGO0) (formerly Leocor Gold Inc.), a junior resource company focussed on the exploration and development of precious metals  projects in Eastern Canada, is pleased to report final assay results from its recently completed drill program at the Dorset prospect, located within the Company's 2,002-ha contiguous Baie Verte gold-copper exploration project.  The Baie Verte project ("The Project") is situated on the north central coast of the island of Newfoundland in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

The complete geochemical results received from SGS Canada, support the results of previous exploration at the project and confirm the presence of orogenic gold mineralization at Dorset.

Gold Highlights Include:

Drillhole 25-DR-001

  • 0.5m of 3.25 g/t Au within 1.1m of 1.61 g/t Au beginning at 42.5m downhole

  • 0.3m of 1.07 g/t Au beginning 100.3m downhole

Drillhole 25-DR-005

  • 0.6m of 1.13 g/t Au within 1.1m of 0.67g/t beginning 37.0m downhole

  • 0.4m of 28.5 g/t Au beginning 76.9m downhole

Further significant results from the drilling program are presented in Table 1, and images of the 25-DR-005 highlights are presented below in Figures 1 and 2.

The Dorset drill holes successfully followed up the Copper Creek drill program, the results of which were announced in the Company's News Release dated July 8, 2025.   These results

support preliminary interpretations that the claims represent the stockwork feeder zone of a Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide ("VMS") mineralizing system. In addition to stockwork chalcopyrite mineralization the program identified additional hallmarks of VMS systems including anomalous zinc mineralization and lenses of massive and semi-massive pyrite.

Results reported July 8 include the following Copper highlights:

  • 3.6m of 1.49 % Cu Including 0.9m of 3.22 % Cu within 6.1m of 0.99 % Cu in hole CC-25-001 beginning at 31.7m downhole

  • 6.6m of 0.44 % Cu Including 0.6m of 1.97 % Cu in hole CC-25-002 beginning at 15.2m downhole

  • 3.6m of 0.66 % Cu Including 1.8m of 0.92 % Cu Within 6.0m of 0.45 % Cu in hole 25-CC-006 beginning at 19.0m downhole.

  • 4.1m of 0.56 % Cu Including 1.4m of 1.43 % Cu in hole 25-CC-014 beginning at 45.7m downhole.

Zinc highlights include:

  • 3.0m of 0.34 % Zn Including 1.0m of 0.69% Zn in hole 25-CC-006 beginning at 47m downhole.

"The overall results of the 2025 drill program at our Baie Verte project proved fruitful," said Alex Klenman, CEO of Leocor Mining.  "We were able to confirm the presence of a VMS system in a maiden effort at Copper Creek.  The Dorset claims continue to generate positive gold values. We are immediately planning follow up work to prepare for further drilling.  We're pleased with the results to date and are eager to continue development of the Baie Verte project," continued Mr. Klenman.

Modelling work is underway to place these results within the geological context of the project and the Company is planning follow-up exploration activities to evaluate the potential of this mineral system.  Specifics of the next round of work will be announced shortly.

Significance of These Results

The Baie Verte Peninsula hosts a well-documented mineral endowment, including several significant gold occurrences and mines associated with the regional Baie Verte Lineament (BVL), This geological setting is conducive to the development of epigenetic gold mineralization, which is supported by a strong correlation with iron-rich rock types. Similar mineralization is documented at nearby prospects, including the past producing Goldenville and Nugget Pond Mines as well as currently producing Pine Cove and Stogertite Deposits. Gold associated with proximal VMS deposits in the region is also interpreted to be epigenetic in origin Figure 3 below outlines notable mineral deposits within the Baie Verte Peninsula.

Dorset Drilling

At the end of March 2025, the company completed a campaign comprising six diamond drillholes totalling 732 meters at Dorset. The program was designed to follow up on significant gold anomalism in field sampling, trenching, and historical drillhole campaigns which were originally focused on surficial alteration and outcropping veins. The 2025 program represents the first diamond drilling campaign undertaken at Dorset by Leocor. Drillhole Collar information is detailed in Table 1.

1911 Gold Commences PEA on True North Project and Provides Update on Underground Progress

1911 Gold Commences PEA on True North Project and Provides Update on Underground Progress

1911 Gold Corporation (" 1911 Gold " or the " Company ") (TSXV: AUMB,OTC:AUMBF) (OTCQB: AUMBF) (FRA: 2KY) is pleased to announce that it has engaged AMC Consultants ("AMC") of Toronto, Canada to complete a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") study on the Company's wholly-owned True North Gold Project, located in Manitoba .

The PEA will evaluate the potential restart of underground mining operations at the True North mine, utilizing the existing permitted 1,300 tonne-per-day processing facility in Bissett . AMC will assess development and mining method scenarios based on the Company's current mineral resource estimate and extensive underground infrastructure, while referencing the Company's own internally developed mine plans. While the PEA will not incorporate results from recent and planned drilling, management believes that continued exploration success may provide significant upside beyond the scope of this assessment.

"Initiating a PEA with AMC is a critical milestone as we advance the True North Mine toward a restart," stated Shaun Heinrichs , President and CEO of 1911 Gold. "We intend to use the results of the PEA, together with delineation drilling to be completed in the fall on two bulk sample target zones, to finalize plans for a trial production run in mid-2026. This initial trial mining campaign, expected to last 3 - 5 months, will provide an important step toward demonstrating the planned mining and development methods, as well as confirm the resource and economics."

The Company anticipates delivering the PEA by the first quarter of 2026, which will provide the foundation for redevelopment planning and engagement with key stakeholders.

Underground Status Update

Momentum underground continues to build, with rehabilitation work nearing completion on Level 16 and other supporting levels in preparation for the next phase of drilling. Hancon Mining Ltd. mobilized crews to the site in August to complete critical rehabilitation and infrastructure upgrades required for drill access, with rigs scheduled to arrive in late September.

Further information on the planned drill program will be provided closer to the commencement date, with a total of 30,000 metres planned over the next several quarters. Drilling will include:

  • Exploration drilling focused on expanding the size potential of the recently discovered San Antonio West and San Antonio Southeast zones located adjacent to the historically mined San Antonio zone, within reach of existing underground workings.
  • Delineation drilling on the bulk sample target zones identified for early trial mining.
  • Resource expansion drilling to test extensions of resources scheduled for near-term production upon completion of the PEA.

These programs, together with the planned trial mining campaign, will deliver critical technical data to validate mining methods, inform development decisions, and unlock additional exploration opportunities across the broader True North Gold Project.

About 1911 Gold Corporation

1911 Gold is a junior gold developer with a highly prospective, consolidated land package totaling more than 61,647 hectares within and adjacent to the Archean Rice Lake greenstone belt in Manitoba . The Company also owns the True North mine and mill complex at Bissett, Manitoba , providing a fully permitted infrastructure hub to support future development. 1911 Gold believes its land package represents a prime opportunity to build a new mining district centred on the True North complex.

In addition, the Company holds the Apex project near Snow Lake, Manitoba , and the Denton-Keefer project near Timmins, Ontario , and remains focused on advancing organic growth while pursuing accretive acquisition opportunities across North America .

1911 Gold's True North complex and exploration land package are located within the traditional territory of the Hollow Water First Nation, signatory to Treaty No. 5 (1875-76). 1911 Gold looks forward to maintaining open, co-operative and respectful communication with the Hollow Water First Nation, and all local stakeholders, in order to build mutually beneficial working relationships.
