VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 9, 2024
/CNW/ - 1911 Gold Corporation ("1911 Gold" or the
"Company") (TSXV: AUMB) is pleased to provide an update on
exploration strategy on the True North project, following the
recently released updated 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE").
The Company also plans to complete a financing to support this
strategy, by way of a non-brokered private placement of
flow-through shares for aggregate proceeds of up to $5,000,000 (the "Offering"), with a lead
investment from a corporate investor.
Highlights
- Strategic and lead investment from a high growth gold
producer, whose production base does not include any assets in
Canada.
- Non-brokered private placement of flow-through shares up to
$5,000,000.
- Approximately 2,550 metres ("m") in 10 holes have been
drilled to completion on testing our new near surface drill
targets, with drilling now underway at the San Antonio Southeast
Target.
- Two (2) of the three (3) initial new targets now drill
tested with follow up expected upon review of final assay
results.
- The MRE released on November 20,
2024 identified a number of drill targets within areas of
known mineralization for potential resource extension both down
plunge and along strike outside of the veins modeled supporting the
MRE.
- Assessment of the data and geological model supporting the
existing 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate for Ogama Rockland
Project is underway, results of this will define the resource
potential of this project as well as identify opportunities as a
potential satellite gold deposit.
- Ongoing, comprehensive review of the geology and resource
potential of other past producers on the property, including the
Central Manitoba project is
underway to generate additional exploration drill targets.
Shaun Heinrichs, President, and
CEO commented: "With our work now complete on rebuilding the True
North MRE, we have the right foundation to support the next phase
of growth on our Rice Lake property. The progress to date has
significantly advanced our understanding of the geology at the True
North Project and also attracted additional investment from a
growing mid-tier gold producer. With this additional capital in
place, we will continue our current exploration program on surface
while completing our work on an economic mine plan based on the
updated MRE to provide the foundation for a re-start in the near
future."
The Offering
The Offering is expected to be comprised of a combination of (i)
shares of the Company issuable to residents in Manitoba ("Manitoba FT Shares") at
$0.239 per Manitoba FT Share, and

$0.185 per FT Share. Each of the FT
Shares and the Manitoba FT Shares will qualify as a flow-through
share ("FT Share") for purposes of the Income Tax Act
(Canada) (the "ITA").
The gross proceeds raised from the Offering will be used by the
Company to fund exploration programs qualifying as "Canadian
Exploration Expenses" and "flow-through mining expenditures" (as
those terms are defined in the ITA) at the Company's flagship Rice
Lake property in Manitoba,
focusing on near-mine target areas.
