Drill hole TN-26-076 cut 36.44 g/t Au over 1.10 m at 411.10 m downhole depth at the Baker target, including a higher-grade core of 73.70 g/t Au over 0.50 m, per 1911 Gold Corporation's (TSXV: AUMB) July 30, 2026 news release.
The Baker target sits within the SAM gabbro unit on the intersection of the 500 shear zone, approximately 170 m south of the 007 shear zone. Six drill holes totalling 2,190 m were drilled from surface to test mineralization within 350 m of surface — ground that carried no historical drilling because it sits beneath Rice Lake.
The broader program behind this release covers 30 drill holes for 8,656 m across the SAM SE, Shore, and Baker targets, all located adjacent to existing infrastructure at True North. Significant intercepts from the batch include 15.89 g/t Au over 2.70 m at SAM SE and 5.99 g/t Au over 4.90 m at Shore, per the July 30 release.
President and CEO Shaun Heinrichs commented on the SAM SE and Shore programs: "Successive drill programs on SAM SE and Shore continue to expand their footprint and confirm the grades we saw in initial drill results." On Baker specifically, Heinrichs stated: "The intersections on the 500 shear zone are encouraging as this emerging target has the potential to add new near mine resources hosted in a parallel vein system, also close to existing infrastructure." He added that "drilling to date provides confidence the zones will contribute meaningfully to the global resource update planned for later this year."
All three targets — SAM SE, Shore, and Baker — are described in the July 30 release as adjacent to or close to existing True North infrastructure. True North is operational and fully permitted within the 100%-owned Rice Lake Gold property in southeast Manitoba.
