Gold discovered at depth in SAM Southeast Zone, with intervals of 5.52 g/t Au over 6.50 m and a high of 54.00 g/t Au over 0.50 m during drilling in 1911.
1911 Gold Announces Significant Gold Intercepts at San Antonio Southeast Zone
1911 Gold Corporation, a junior explorer focused on organic growth and accretive acquisition opportunities in North America, has announced significant gold intercepts at the San Antonio Southeast (SAM SE) target within its True North Project.
The company resumed surface drilling in early July to test depth extensions on SAM SE and SAM West targets. In total, 62 surface drill holes have been completed at the True North Project, with 60 reaching target depths, amounting to 14,974.40 meters of drilling to date.
The specific drill hole results from the SAM Southeast Zone include an intersection of 5.52 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 6.50 metres, and a high-grade interval of 54.00 g/t gold over 0.50 metres. These results have been reported as significant, confirming the presence of gold mineralization at the SAM SE target area within the True North Project in southeast Manitoba, Canada.
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 San Antonio Southeast target is located approximately 350 m southeast of the historically mined San Antonio zone of the True North Gold Mine.
Underground drilling for the next phase of exploration at the True North project is anticipated to start in early September, with planning already underway for future underground exploration drilling, expected to start at the end of the third quarter. Targeting has been completed on multiple high-priority underground areas that can be tested from Level 16, with potential for significant resource growth.
1911 Gold Corporation's True North complex and exploration land package are located within the traditional territory of the Hollow Water First Nation, with a focus on maintaining open, cooperative, and respectful communication with local stakeholders. The company is actively evaluating additional targets across the property and advancing permitting for a surface drill program at Ogama-Rockland.
All scientific and technical information in the news release has been reviewed and approved by Mr. Michele Della Libera, P.Geo, Vice-President Exploration of 1911 Gold Corporation. Core samples are collected, prepared, and analyzed by Activation Laboratories Ltd. in Thunder Bay, Ontario, following strict quality assurance and quality control procedures.
