Press Release
Vancouver, British Columbia, December 9, 2024 – 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
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.”
