as CEO to focus on other interests as well as spend more time with his family.

support which has allowed me to take on this new role. I believe 1911 Gold presents a unique investment
opportunity in the gold sector with its significant land position in the highly prospective Rice Lake greenstone
belt in Manitoba, Canada . The Rice Lake property , historically underexplored outside of the existing
underground mine, lies along an ancient plate margin extending across to the prolific Red Lake gold camp
and has the potential to contain one or more significant gold deposits. I look forward to continuing to work
with our experienced exploration team led by Scott Anderson to make those discoveries.”

the Company forward and feel his background and experience will deliver value for our shareholders. We
