1911 Gold launches Level 16 drift development with first L10 Zone blast
1911 Gold began drift development on Level 16 of its True North Mine in southeastern Manitoba, blasting its first round in the higher-grade L10 Zone to prepare for bulk sampling. It has upgraded infrastructure and awarded an underground contract while targeting test mining later this year and production in 2027.
1. Underground Development
1911 Gold has commenced drift development on Level 16 at its True North Mine in southeastern Manitoba. Crews completed the first blast in late April in the L10 Zone, a higher-grade mineralized area designated for bulk sampling and early test mining stages.
2. Infrastructure and Contract
The company has advanced critical underground infrastructure upgrades, including rehabilitation of Level 16 access and installation of a second egress. An underground development contract was awarded to accelerate ramp access, sill drives and equipment mobilization for upcoming stope preparations.
3. Test Mining and Production Plans
Development efforts focus on generating operational data from bulk samples ahead of test mining later this year. True North is on track for commercial production in 2027, with infill drilling targeting both the L10 and Hinge zones to refine resource estimates and mine planning.
