1911 Gold Corp (TSX-V:AUMB, OTCQB:AUMBF, FRA:2KY) earlier this week reported additional underground drilling results from the True North project in Manitoba, with management highlighting strong resource expansion potential within the L10 shear zone and the deeper 710-711 zone.
Speaking with Proactive, CEO Shaun Heinrichs said the company’s latest 12-hole, 3,600 metre drilling campaign continued to deliver encouraging results as 1911 Gold advances both resource growth and development planning at the project
Heinrichs explained that the current underground program has two main objectives: preparing areas for planned test mining later this year and expanding the company’s mineral resource base through infill and delineation drilling. According to Heinrichs, the existing mineral resource estimate captured only around 35% of historical drill data from previous operators, creating opportunities to expand known mineralization by targeting gaps between historical high-grade intercepts. The company has reported encouraging continuity in the L10 shear zone, which management believes connects directly to the Sam Southeast target previously drilled from surface.
Heinrichs stated that “we are seeing significant potential upside on the L10 and the 710, 711 zone,” adding that the recent drill holes have helped demonstrate continuity between deeper mineralized areas and shallower targets. Management also sees operational advantages developing within the expanding zones. Heinrichs noted that the company may ultimately access parts of the mineralized system from both the True North workings and the nearby Hinge mine infrastructure, potentially improving future mining flexibility. 1911 Gold is now adding a third underground drill rig at the Hinge ramp mine.
