1911 Gold Intersects Gold Mineralization in First-Pass Drilling at the Apex Property, Manitoba
1911 Gold Intersects Gold Mineralization in First-Pass Drilling at the
Apex Property, Manitoba
TORONTO, Ontario, July 6, 2022 – 1911 Gold Corporation ("1911 Gold" or the "Company") (TSX-
V: AUMB) (OTCQX: AUMBF) is pleased to report assay results from exploration drilling at the 100%-owned
Apex Property located near Snow Lake, Manitoba (Figure 1).
Highlights:
• First-pass drilling at Apex intersected high-grade gold mineralization at two targets, including
9.7 g/t gold over 0.45 meters and 15.3 g/t gold over 0.65 metres, the latter within a broader zone
grading 0.9 g/t gold over 20.7 metres
• The Company completed 1,642 metres of drilling in six drillholes at Apex, to test high-grade
shear-hosted quartz veins in two locations, as well as three large-scale IP geophysical
anomalies associated with gold occurrences or major geological contacts
• Fieldwork in 2022 will further advance the gold potential at Apex and will evaluate a large linear
magnetic and topographic-low feature for lithium pegmatite, which is the focus of exploration
on adjacent properties with known lithium resources, associated with similar features
The Company completed six drillholes, totaling 1,642 metres, in its maiden drilling program at Apex in Q1
2022. The program was designed to test high- grade quartz vein systems exposed on surface, as well as
several strong, large-scale, geophysical anomalies revealed by an induced-polarization (IP) survey in 2021,
utilizing Abitibi Geophysics’ OreVision® IP system (Figure 2).

The Apex property, located 15 kilometres southeast of Snow Lake, Manitoba, has strong potential for both
narrow-vein and bulk tonnage gold, as well as lithium pegmatite deposits.
2022 Exploration Drilling
Four drillholes from the 2022 program were designed to test gold showings identified from historical work
and the Company’s recent mapping and prospecting programs, the latter yielding several high- grade
assays, including 132.6 g/t gold, 69.1 g/t gold and 36.2 g/t gold from grab samples.
Three drillholes, totalling 604 metres, targeted the historical KK showing, located in strongly sheared and
altered sedimentary rocks at the contact of a large granitic intrusion referred to as the Rex Lake pluton.
Gold mineralization at KK is associated with intense biotite and sericite alteration with disseminated to
fracture-controlled arsenopyrite and pyrite, and minor quartz veins. Highlights from historical shallow drilling
at KK include 27.4 g/t gold over 2.1 metres, 24.7 g/t gold over 1.5 metres and 9.3 g/t gold over 1.6 metres,
all within 50 metres of surface. The new drillholes tested the zone over a strike of 150 metres, targeting the
down-dip extents of high-grade veins and intersections of faults that splay off the main structure.
All three drillholes at KK intersected moderate to strong, pervasive to fracture-controlled biotite and sericite
alteration in the sedimentary rocks , associated with diffuse haloes containing up to 20% disseminated
arsenopyrite and pyrite. Drillhole KK-22-003 yielded the most significant assay, returning 4.3 g/t gold over
1.2 metres , including 9.7 g/t gold over 0.45 metres (Table 1) . The western- most drillhole (KK -22-001)
intersected a thick zone of intense biotite alteration and heavily disseminated arsenopyrite that yielded
strongly anomalous gold (0.2 g/t gold over 5.6 metres), indicating the zone remains open to the west.
Drillhole RX -22-002 (449 metres ) targeted a number of surface showings associated with quartz vein
systems in the Rex Lake pluton. This drillhole also tested an underlying strong chargeability anomaly
revealed by the IP geophysical survey, suggesting the presence of sulphide mineralization at depth. From
95.45 to 163.0 metres, this drillhole intersected strongly sheared and fractured granodiorite containing
moderate to strong biotite alteration, up to 50% quartz veinlets (with local visible gold), and up to 10%
disseminated arsenopyrite-pyrite. A shear -hosted vein containing visible gold within this interval returned
15.3 g/t gold over 0.65 metres, within a broader interval of 0.9 g/t gold over 20.7 metres, thus demonstrating
potential for both narrow-vein and bulk tonnage gold mineralization in the Rex Lake pluton. This significant
zone of mineralization remains open in all directions (Figure 2).
Two additional drillholes, totalling 589 metres, targeted large-scale chargeability anomalies in areas of little
to no bedrock exposure, but failed to yield significant assay results despite localized zones of mineralization
and alteration similar to that observed at the KK zone and in drillhole RX -22-002. Several large- scale IP
geophysical anomalies both within and external to the Rex Lake pluton remain to be tested.

2022 Field Exploration Program
The 2022 exploration program will include additional mapping, prospecting and surficial geochemistry to
evaluate the gold potential of the Rex Lake pluton and its sedimentary host rocks, particularly in the vicinity
of drillhole RX-22-002 to further evaluate the controls on mineralization and potential strike extensions .
Fieldwork in 2022 will also focus on evaluating a large-scale magnetic low feature in the southeast portion
of the Apex property. This northwest-trending feature (Figure 2) extends for at least 1, 200 metres on the
Apex property and roughly coincides with a pronounced topographic low, with minimal bedrock exposure.
Similar magnetic lows are currently the focus of intensive exploration on adjacent properties, where they
have been found to coincide with lithium pegmatite dikes. These dikes are part of the larger Wekusko Lake
pegmatite field, within which pegmatites tend to define clusters of northwest or northeast -trending,
subvertical dikes. Fieldwork in 2022 will include mapping, prospecting , and surficial or whole-rock
geochemistry to evaluate this very large-scale magnetic low for its lithium pegmatite potential.
QA-QC Protocols
Sample handling, preparation and analysis are monitored through the implementation of formal chain- of-
custody procedures and quality assurance- quality control (QA -QC) programs designed to follow industry
best practices. Drillcore is logged and sampled in a secure facility located in Bissett, Manitoba. Drillcore
samples for gold assay are cut in half using a diamond saw and are submitted to Activation Laboratories
Ltd. (Actlabs) in Ancaster, Ontario, for preparation by crushing to 80% passing 2 millimetres, riffle splitting
to obtain 250-gram aliquots, and pulverizing to 95% passing 106 microns. Pulps are analyzed by a 30-gram
fire assay and AAS finish. For assays above 5 g/t Au, a cut of the original pulp is re- assayed with a
gravimetric finish. Samples with visible gold are analyzed by metallic screen assay. In addition to Actlabs’
in-house QA-QC protocols, 1911 Gold inserts certified standards, non- certified blanks and field duplicates
into the sample stream at regular intervals, such that QA -QC accounts for 10% of the total samples
submitted. Results are routinely evaluated for accuracy, precision and contamination.

About the Apex Property
The 100%-owned Apex property consists of 12 mining claims, totalling 2,200 hectares, located 15
kilometres southeast of Snow Lake in north-central Manitoba. The property lies in the Flin Flon
greenstone belt, one of the most prolific mining districts in the world, with world- class gold-rich VMS and
orogenic gold deposits. Situated in a fault-block, bound on both sides by crustal-scale faults, the property
lies in a highly favourable structural setting immediately north of the Laguna property, currently being
explored by an affiliate of Kinross Gold Corp. The property is underlain by sedimentary rocks of the
Burntwood assemblage, intruded by the Rex Lake pluton, comprised of tonalite, granodiorite, granite and
quartz gabbro. Several significant historical gold occurrences on the property fall into two distinct styles:
1) broad, diffuse zones of lower-grade gold associated with arsenopyrite and scheelite in strongly
fractured and altered granodiorite; 2) narrow zones of higher-grade gold associated with shear veins and
pervasive sericite or biotite alteration, within the granodiorite and its host rocks. Thus, the property has
potential for both high-grade narrow vein and bulk-tonnage gold deposits; it also lies adjacent to the
Wekusko Lake pegmatite field, including several resource-stage lithium pegmatite projects.
About 1911 Gold Corporation
1911 Gold is a junior explorer that holds a highly prospective, consolidated land package totalling more
than 58,000 hectares within and adjacent to the Rice Lake greenstone belt in Manitoba, and also owns the
True North mine and mill complex at Bissett, Manitoba, where it reprocesses historic tailings on a seasonal
basis. 1911 Gold believes its land package is a prime exploration opportunity, with potential to develop a
mining district centred on the True North complex. The Company also owns the Apex project near Snow
Lake, Manitoba and the Tully and Denton- Keefer projects near Timmins, Ontario, and intends to focus on
both organic growth opportunities and accretive acquisition opportunities in North America.
