Northisle Copper and Gold

Northisle Commences 2025 Drilling and Field Program

Northisle Copper and Gold Inc. (TSX-V: NCX) (“Northisle” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has commenced its 2025 exploration program at the North Island Project. The 2025 exploration program will consist of at least 7,000 metres of drilling focused on the West Goodspeed and Northwest Expo targets, plus an extensive field program which will leverage the Company’s exploration data to identify additional targets along its 100% controlled North Island copper-gold porphyry belt.

Highlights:

  • Northisle 2025 drill program on its North Island Project commenced on April 17 from road-based pads
    • 789 metres completed as of April 27, 2025
  • Drilling will focus on the Northwest Corridor which includes the resources informing the higher margin Phase 1 of the Company’s 2025 PEA
    • Drilling commenced at the West Goodspeed target area and is intended to further expand the footprint of mineralization which is not currently included in a resource estimate
    • Field work and drilling in the Northwest Expo area will focus on identifying the intrusive associated with high-grade gold mineralization in this segment of the belt
  • Surface mapping, soil and stream sediment sampling, and geophysical analysis are also being conducted in the Northwest Corridor in addition to drilling
  • Integration and modelling of over 60 years of property-wide exploration data is underway to apply the successful Northwest Corridor targeting approach across similar anomalies throughout the property

Sam Lee, President & CEO stated “Since 2021, Northisle has advanced the highly prospective Northwest Corridor with three successful phases of drilling, moving from a discovery hole at Northwest Expo in Phase I, to the discovery of West Goodspeed in Phase II, to defining a high margin resource at Northwest Expo and advancing West Goodspeed drilling in Phase III. We are pleased to have commenced our Phase IV drilling program with a focus on advancing a maiden resource at West Goodspeed and finding the intrusive at Northwest Expo. Northisle is in the envious position of having highly compelling exploration potential and an economically attractive development project, all within the same project footprint.”

Dr. Pablo Mejia Herrera, Vice President Exploration of Northisle added, “In 2025, our exploration team will continue advancing our understanding of this district-scale project. Integration and modelling of more than 60 years of property-wide exploration data is underway to apply the successful Northwest Corridor targeting approach across our 35-kilometre district.”

West Goodspeed Drilling Program

Drilling in 2025 will begin with in-fill and step-out holes at the West Goodspeed target, aiming to confirm the distribution of copper and gold mineralization previously outlined over more than one kilometre of strike length, oriented NNW–SSE. The in-fill and step-out drilling will complement the twelve holes previously drilled in the area, from which the most significant are GS24-072, which intersected 154.8 metres grading 0.23% Cu and 0.31 g/t Au (0.53% Cu Eq.) from 13.2 metres, and GS24-103, which returned 210.0 metres grading 0.23% Cu and 0.29 g/t Au (0.50% Cu Eq.) from 46.0 metres, including a higher-grade interval of 68.0 metres at 0.37% Cu and 0.58 g/t Au (0.86% Cu Eq.) from 110.0 metres.

Figure 2 shows drill holes completed by Northisle and previous operators at the Red Dog Deposit, West Goodspeed and Goodspeed areas overlaid on magnetic anomalies and local topography.

The 2025 program at West Goodspeed will include approximately 5,600 metres of drilling, comprising at least seven infill holes aimed at confirming higher-grade intercepts in the central portion of the West Goodspeed copper-gold mineralization, and a minimum of three step-out holes to test the extension of the mineralized trend along strike.

Figure 3 shows a section through the Red Dog PEA pit shell and West Goodspeed target area.

Northwest Expo Area Exploration and Drilling Program

Ongoing soil geochemistry program and geophysical inversions are focused on refining targets potentially associated with the intrusive linked to Northwest Expo. Integration of mapping, soil geochemistry, and geophysical data is expected to refine the drill targets, with drilling anticipated before the end of the third quarter of this year.

Figure 4 shows drill holes completed by Northisle and previous operators at the Northwest Expo deposit and surrounding areas, overlaid on magnetic anomalies and local topography.

Advancing Target Definition in the Northwest Corridor

As part of a systematic data integration strategy, surface mapping, soil and silt geochemistry, and detailed geophysical inversions, are being conducted across the Northwest Corridor, encompassing West Goodspeed, Northwest Expo, Red Dog, and Goodspeed. This integrated approach is designed to leverage multiple lines of evidence that collectively outline the potential extensions of porphyry mineralization currently identified within this segment of the belt.

Leveraging 60 Years of Exploration to Define the Next Generation of Porphyry Targets

An integrated interpretation of over 60 years of exploration and geophysical data is currently underway to extend the successful targeting approach used in the Northwest Corridor to other prospective areas of the property.

For example, Figure 5 is a map of the North Island Project showing regional scale magnetic anomalies relative to Northisle’s existing deposits and advanced drill targets.

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.
