1911 Gold Corporation has returned assay results from eight surface diamond drill holes totaling 2,980 metres at the San Antonio West target within the True North Gold Project in southeast Manitoba, Canada.

The drilling confirmed the continuity of high-grade gold mineralization within a previously untested gap measuring approximately 200 metres in elevation and 200 metres along strike between depths of 230 metres and 430 metres from surface. Highlighted intercepts include drill hole TN-26-073, which returned 11.31 grams per tonne gold over 1.70 metres from 391.10 metres downhole, including 16.20 grams per tonne gold over 0.80 metres. Hole TN-26-082 intersected 6.79 grams per tonne gold over 2.40 metres from 204.40 metres downhole. Additional results include hole TN-26-089, which returned 5.72 grams per tonne gold over 3.00 metres, and hole TN-26-097, which intersected 11.80 grams per tonne gold over 0.50 metres.

Mineralization at San Antonio West is hosted within the San Antonio gabbro unit adjacent to its intersection with the regional Cartwright South shear zone. The current program brings the total work at the target to 34 completed drill holes spanning 9,067 metres. All data from the target will be incorporated into a maiden mineral resource estimate.

The True North project is a wholly-owned, operational and fully permitted gold asset centrally located within the company's 100%-owned Rice Lake Gold property in southeast Manitoba. The company controls an approximately 62,000-hectare land package in the Rice Lake Greenstone Belt containing multiple past-producing gold operations within trucking distance of the True North mine and mill complex.

Geological wire-frame modelling is underway to prepare for an updated global resource estimate encompassing the San Antonio West, San Antonio Southeast, and Shore targets, with delivery scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026.

“We are pleased with the continuity of gold mineralization and the extent of the mineralized vein system at SAM W, which we have continued to intersect in our resource definition drilling, along with a number of high-grade gold intercepts. Drilling in support of the resource update is now complete and geological modelling is underway, keeping us on track to deliver an updated global resource estimate in the fourth quarter of this year.”
