1911 Gold Intersects up to 58.66 g/t Gold over 1.40 m on San Antonio West Zone at True North
Highlights:
- Drilling has continued to expand the near-surface quartz vein hosted gold ("Au") mineralization on the new San Antonio West ("SAM West") target along strike and to depth
San Antonio West Target
-
Drill results confirmed the western and down dip extensions of gold mineralization within the prolific
San Antonio mafic unit up to 350 m down dip and 500 m along strike, including:- TN-25-057: Intersected 58.66 grams per tonne (g/t) Gold (Au) over 1.40 m at a downhole depth of 145.00 m, including 63.20 g/t Au over 0.90 m and 50.50 g/t Au over 0.50 m
- TN-25-056: Intersected 9.59 g/t Au over 2.30 m at a downhole depth of 103.10 m, including 11.25 g/t Au over 1.80 m, including 21.30 g/t Au over 0.50 m
- TN-25-058: Intersected 10.40 g/t Au over 1.00 m at a downhole depth of 249.30 m
"These are some of the best results we've seen to date from the San Antonio West target.",

Drilling completed to date has confirmed the extensions of gold mineralization within the SAM gabbro to over 600 m west of the historically mined
The latest drill holes, comprised of seven (7) new drill holes for 1,928.0 m, extended the footprint of mineralization 100 m down dip from the results announced on
Drill hole TN-25-056, designed to undercut high grade gold mineralization intersected in drill hole TN-25-037 (1.00 m @ 8.73 g/t Au, 1.00 m @ 62.40 g/t Au and 0.70 m @ 6.09 g/t Au and 4.50 m @ 4.17 g/t Au), intersected 2.30 m @ 9.59 g/t Au, including 1.80 m @ 11.25 g/t Au and 0.50 m @ 21.30 g/t Au. Drilling successfully extended the gold mineralization approximately 50 m down dip and returned high-grade gold results.
Drill hole TN-25-057 (1.40 m @ 58.66 g/t Au) tested the down-dip extensions of the high-grade gold intercepts of previously released holes TN-24-043 (1.00 m @ 12.50 g/t Au) and TN-24-045 (3.70 m @ 6.84 g/t Au, including 1.40 m @ 12.40 g/t Au and 2.70 m @ 5.30 g/t Au, including 0.50 m @ 11.30 g/t Au). Drilling successfully intercepted high-grade gold mineralization approximately 160 m down dip.
Drill hole TN-25-058 (0.50 m @ 10.40 g/t Au) designed to test the 160 m down-dip extension of the gold mineralization from hole TN-25-056, intersected three distinct gold mineralized veins extending the multiple vein structures to 340 m depth.

Drilling has further confirmed the existence of up to three (3) vein zones hosted within the target gabbro unit, supporting the potential to mine multiple zones on levels as conducted historically (see press release entitled "1911 Gold Intersects 62.40 g/t Au over 1.00 m on San Antonio West at True North", dated
San Antonio West Target
The San Antonio West target is located west of the historically mined
Gate Target
The Gate target was defined to explore for potential gold mineralization on the intersection of the Cartwright South and L13 shear zones with the Shoreline Basalt unit. Five (5) drill holes, totalling 1,280.00 m (see Table 3), were completed on this target. All drill holes intercepted well-developed quartz veining hosted within sediments, with drill hole TN-25-044 intersecting 0.90 m @ 1.30 g/t Au and drill hole TN-25-049 intersecting 0.90 m @ 0.57 g/t Au. Drilling did not intersect wide sections of basalt, which host the majority of mineralization in this unit at True North. Additional interpretation is ongoing to define the basalt flows within the Shoreline Basalt unit, which in this area appear to occur as discontinuous lenses intercalated within sediments. Interpretation, modelling and drill targeting are ongoing to define potential extensions of the basalt unit hosting gold mineralization.
Site Access Update
Recent rainfall, favourable winds, and cooler temperatures have eased wildfire conditions in the region; however, the
Next Steps
Building on the strong results achieved to date on new exploration targets and the compelling targets to expand the current resource,
