1911 GOLD ANNOUNCES MANITOBA MINERAL DEVELOPMENT FUND GRANT TO SUPPORT UNDERGROUND DRILLING AT TRUE NORTH

The Manitoba Mineral Development Fund (MMDF) has approved a $300,000 grant to support the current, continuing underground drill program at the True North gold project, located within 1911 Gold Corp.'s 100-per-cent-owned Rice Lake gold property in southeastern Manitoba, Canada.

"We extend our sincere gratitude to the MMDF for their continued support of the True North gold project and our near-term vision to restart mining operations in 2027," Shaun Heinrichs, chief executive officer and president, stated. "The MMDF's active involvement and interest in our progress reflect our shared commitment to advancing responsible resource development in Manitoba, creating meaningful employment for surrounding communities, including the Hollow Water and Black River first nations, and fostering sustainable economic growth for years to come."

"We appreciate the opportunity to support projects such as this," Edward Suzuki, program manager (MMDF). "By providing this funding support and confidence, we aim to attract more investment into Manitoba. The socioeconomic impacts from the True North redevelopment project will demonstrate the value of MMDF and justify the continuation of the program in the coming years."

1911 Gold has been working with the MMDF over the past several years and has enjoyed strong support for both exploration programs and development projects. Proceeds from the grant will be allocated directly toward the underground delineation drill program, which comprises approximately 9,000 metres in 80 drill holes, focused on upgrading the current resources within two target areas scheduled for test mining in 2026 (see news release dated Sept. 25, 2025). The test mining is intended to validate the planned mining method and economics -- critical information as the company advances toward the restart of operations in early 2027.

As announced in a news release by Business, Mining, Trade and Job Creation Minister Jamie Moses (dated Oct. 8, 2025), the Manitoba government is providing $1.2-million to six mineral exploration projects through the MMDF to support mining projects that create indigenous partnerships, increase job opportunities and stimulate investment in Northern Manitoba.
