1911 Gold Restores Access to Key True North Infrastructure

Event summary

  • 1911 Gold has re-established access to Level 26 at the True North Mine, after dewatering to approximately 4 meters below the level.
  • Dewatering is expected to be completed by the end of May, enabling rehabilitation work and drilling in the 710-711 zone.
  • Level 26 serves as the primary hoisting infrastructure and loading pocket, crucial for planned test mining on Level 16.
  • The mill is scheduled to be operational in mid-2026, with the new crushing circuit to follow later in the year.

The big picture

Restoring access to Level 26 at True North is a key step in 1911 Gold’s plan to restart operations and expand its resource base. The project’s reliance on a single loading pocket highlights the importance of infrastructure reliability for near-term production, and the focus on the 710-711 zone suggests a strategy to leverage previously explored, high-grade ore bodies. The company’s commitment to community engagement is increasingly important for securing long-term operational viability in the Canadian mining sector.

What we're watching

Operational Execution
The speed of the remaining dewatering and rehabilitation work will be critical to meeting the planned test mining schedule on Level 16, and any delays could impact the 2027 restart timeline.
Resource Expansion
The success of drilling in the 710-711 zone and D Shaft will determine whether the True North project can deliver on its potential for expanded resource base and extended mine life.
Community Relations
Maintaining positive relationships with the Hollow Water First Nation and Black River First Nation will be essential for securing ongoing operational permits and social license to operate.
