 1911 Gold Corporation (‘1911 Gold’ or the ‘Company’) (TSXV: AUMB,OTC:AUMBF) (OTCQX: AUMBF) (FRA: 2KY) is pleased to provide assay results from the underground drill program at the Company’s wholly-owned operational and fully permitted True North Gold Project (‘True North’), located in southeast Manitoba, Canada.

These assay results represent twenty-five (25) drill holes for 3,894 metres (‘m‘) from the infill and delineation drill program on the mineral resources outlined within the mine plan in the recent Preliminary Economic Assessment (‘PEA‘), in preparation for development and mining activities (see press release dated February 10, 2026, 1911 Gold Delivers Positive PEA for True North Highlighting Robust Economics with Low Capital Intensity and High Returns).

Drilling Highlights:

  • Drilling results have confirmed the continuity of gold (‘Au’) mineralization within the mineral resources outlined in the PEA mine plan for the early years of mining on the V-810 vein within the Hinge Zone (‘Hinge’), and the V-1030/V-1040 vein within the L10 Zone (‘L10’), both located adjacent to Level 16 (695 metres below surface) of the True North mine.
  • Hinge Infill and Delineation Drill Program – drilling confirmed continuity of the targeted V-810 vein and returned wider widths on average than the modelled vein, with the following highlighted results:
    • UG16-25-006: Intersected 10.03 grams per tonne (‘g/t’) Au over 1.10 m (at 136.80 m downhole depth), including 12.91 g/t Au over 1.70 m, including 14.50 g/t Au over 0.50 m
    • UG16-25-015: Intersected 10.79 g/t Au over 2.20 m (at 119.70 m downhole depth), including 12.91 g/t Au over 1.70 m, including 14.60 g/t Au over 1.10 m
    • UG16-25-017: Intersected 6.62 g/t Au over 3.40 m (at 135.60 m downhole depth), including 23.60 g/t Au over 0.70 m
    • UG16-25-027: Intersected 5.23 g/t Au over 2.00 m (at 118.70 m downhole depth)
    • UG16-25-028: Intersected 4.75 g/t Au over 2.90 m (at 131.80 m downhole depth), including 10.60 g/t Au over 0.60 m
    • UG16-26-031: Intersected 5.02 g/t Au over 6.00 m (at 108.70 m downhole depth), including 11.45 g/t Au over 1.70 m, including 15.90 g/t au over 0.80 m
    • UG16-26-034: Intersected 6.65 g/t Au over 2.20 m (at 121.90 m downhole depth), including 9.72 g/t Au over 0.60 m, and 7.88 g/t Au over 0.80 m
    • UG16-26-035: Intersected 3.83 g/t Au over 2.90 m (at 123.30 m downhole depth), including 9.59 g/t Au over 0.90 m
  • L10 Infill Drill Program – drilling confirmed the continuity of V-1040, with the following highlighted result:
    • UG16-25-009: Intersected 4.38 g/t Au over 1.00 m (at 162.20 m downhole depth)

Shaun Heinrichs, President and CEO stated, ‘We are pleased to provide the first set of drill results from our underground infill and delineation drill program as we systematically de-risk True North for a production restart next year. The drilling at Hinge and L10 not only confirms the continuity of gold mineralization in these veins but also demonstrates that these zones are wider on average than previously modelled. The ongoing drill program is focussed on infill and delineation drilling in areas that are included in the first years of mining within the PEA mine plan and support the bulk sample and test mining activities scheduled for later this year. We look forward to providing additional results as we continue to advance underground activities at True North.’

The underground infill and delineation drill program commenced on Level 16 with one (1) drill rig on October 1, 2025, with a second drill rig added on November 6, 2025. Initial drilling focused on two areas scheduled for early production in the PEA mine plan that are readily accessible from the existing Level 16 development. Current development drilling continues to focus on upgrading and delineating the resources for the initial years of the mine schedule and supporting the upcoming bulk sampling and test mining activities.

Exploration Drilling

Beyond the immediate mine plan, 1911 Gold has been testing new target areas within the True North mine footprint. This includes underground drilling on the new Shore target and the San Antonio Southeast (‘SAM SE‘) depth extensions, as well as testing the extensions of mineral resources included in the PEA mine plan. Additional underground drill results on the potential new resource targets and resource expansion areas will be released upon receipt of final assay results.

Two (2) surface drill rigs have also been mobilized to test the near-surface extensions of gold mineralization previously intersected at San Antonio West, SAM SE and Shore targets. Drilling is ongoing, and additional results will be released as they become available.

Hinge (V-810) Infill and Delineation Drilling

Underground infill and delineation drilling was designed to test the continuity of gold mineralization of the V-810 vein located within the Hinge Zone as outlined for development and mining in the early years of the PEA mine plan. Results reported today are from twenty-one (21) drill holes totaling 3,143 m. Drill targets were set up on nominal 15 m drill hole spacing to upgrade indicated resources to the measured resource category.

Assay results returned the following highlights and preliminary definition of an approximate 120 m long and 100 m wide zone plunging N13E/52° hosted within the Hinge Dacitic breccia unit and the intersection of the regional mineralized Hinge shear zone. All mineralized intercepts are characterized by quartz-carbonate shear veins and vein breccias with sericite, chlorite alteration and pyrite disseminated and in veinlets. The V-810 vein modelled in this zone had an average width of 1.2 m, diluted to 1.5 m minimum width in the PEA mine plan. Drill holes intercepted the modelled vein structure within the targeted V-810 vein over wider widths on average than the current modelled vein and defined a ~40 m wide higher grade gold core with the following highlighted results.

Drill hole UG16-25-006 intercepted 10.03 g/t over 1.10 m (at 136.80 m downhole depth), including 14.50 g/t Au over 0.50 m; UG16-25-010 intersected 9.87 g/t over 1.60 m Au (at 149.40 m downhole depth); UG16-25-015 intercepted 10.79 g/t Au over 2.20 m (at 119.70 m downhole depth), including 14.60 g/t Au over 1.10 m over 0.70 m; UG16-25-017 intercepted 6.62 g/t Au over 3.40 m (at 135.60 m downhole depth), including 23.60 g/t Au over 0.70 m; UG16-25-027 intercepted 5.23 g/t Au over 2.00 m (at 118.70 m downhole depth); UG16-25-028 intercepted 4.75 g/t Au over 2.90 m (at 131.80 m downhole depth), including 10.60 g/t Au over 0.60 m; UG16-25-031 intercepted 5.02 g/t Au over 6.00 m (at 108.70 m downhole depth), including 15.90 g/t Au over 0.80 m; UG16-25-034 intercepted 6.65 g/t Au over 2.20 m (at 121.90 m downhole depth), including 9.72 g/t Au over 0.60 m; and drill hole UG16-25-035 intercepted 3.83 g/t Au over 2.90 m (at 123.30 m downhole depth), including 9.59 g/t Au over 0.90 m.

Additional infill and delineation drill holes from Hinge will be released upon receipt of final assay results.

L-10 (V-1030/V-1040) Infill Drilling

A total of four (4) drill holes for 750 m of drilling was completed as infill drilling on areas with wider drill spacing on L10, also located on Level 16, as outlined for development and mining in the early years of the PEA mine plan. One (1) drill hole (UG16-25-009) deviated and did not intersect the targeted area and was replaced by drill hole UG16-25-014.

L10 is hosted within the Shoreline Basalt unit on the intersection with the regional mineralized L10 shear zone and is characterized by gold mineralized quartz-carbonate shear veins and vein breccias with sericite, chlorite alteration and pyrite disseminated and in veinlets, with highlighted results below.

The continuity of the V-1040/V-1030 veins was confirmed with drill holes UG16-25-008 which intercepted 2.31 g/t Au over 1.30 m (at 133.70 m downhole depth); UG16-25-012 intercepted 2.60 g/t Au over 0.90 m (at 163.10 m downhole depth).

Drill hole UG16-25-009 deviated and did not intersect the targeted area but intercepted possible extensions of L10 returning 4.38 g/t Au over 1.00 m (at 162.20 m downhole depth, potential extension of vein V-1040) and 4.35 g/t Au over 1.50 m (at 198.10 m downhole depth, potential down plunge extension of vein V-1030).

  5. Newly intercepted veins not in the current resource model or PEA mine plan

A number of drill holes also intercepted mineralization outside of the currently modelled veins and which are not included in the PEA mine plan. Final results from additional holes intersecting potential new veins at Hinge are pending.

Preliminary interpretation indicates a vein system parallel to the Hinge vein V-810, and the L10 veins V-1030/V-1040, which occur outside of the modeled wireframes supporting the 2024 mineral resource estimate and will be further interpreted and modelled to define potential resource additions (see technical report entitled ‘NI 43-101 Technical Report on the True North Gold Project, Bissett, Manitoba, Canada’, prepared by Lions Gate Geological Consulting Inc. and 1911 Gold, dated December 23, 2024).

Qualified Person Statement

The scientific and technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Mr. Michele Della Libera, P.Geo, Vice-President Exploration of 1911 Gold Corporation, who is a ‘Qualified Person’ as defined under NI 43-101.

Quality Assurance/Quality Controls (QA/QC)

Whole core is sampled for the delineation drilling and half core for the infill drilling, with samples placed in plastic sample bags, labelled, sealed and despatched for analysis. Batches are shipped to Activation Laboratories Ltd. (Actlabs), in Thunder Bay, Ontario for sample preparation and analysis. Samples are dried, crushed to 2mm and a 1 kg split is pulverized to -200 mesh. Gold analysis is completed by fire-assay with an atomic absorption finish on 50 grams of prepared pulp. Samples returning values equal or greater to 10.00 g/t are reanalysed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Total gold analysis (Screen Metallic Sieve) is conducted on highly mineralized samples or the presence of visible gold. Certified gold reference material samples are inserted every 20 samples and blank samples at intervals of one in every 50 samples, with additional blanks inserted after samples hosting visible gold. Repeat third-party gold analyses for 5% of all submitted sample pulps are analyzed at ALS-Chemex Laboratory, North Vancouver, Canada.

Today’s crypto news to know

Oil trading surges on crypto derivatives platform

Volatility in global energy markets is spilling into crypto trading platforms, where oil derivatives have suddenly become one of the most active markets.

On decentralized exchange Hyperliquid, an oil-linked perpetual futures contract tracking West Texas Intermediate crude generated about US$1.32 billion in trading volume over the past 24 hours.

The surge made oil the second-most traded contract on the platform after Bitcoin.

The surge followed the escalation of the US-Israel conflict with Iran, which sent oil prices briefly soaring above US$118 per barrel before retreating. Prior to the conflict, the contract typically saw about US$21 million in daily trading.

Data from Hyperliquid shows Bitcoin still dominates trading activity with roughly US$3.64 billion in daily volume, but the WTI contract has now leapfrogged assets such as Ether, silver, and gold.

Strategy adds nearly 18,000 Bitcoin in US$1.28 billion purchase

Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) continued its aggressive accumulation strategy last week, revealing it purchased 17,994 Bitcoin for about US$1.28 billion between March 2 and March 8.

According to a regulatory filing, the company paid an average price of roughly US$70,946 per coin. The latest purchase lifts Strategy’s total holdings to 738,731 Bitcoin, acquired at a combined cost of about US$56.04 billion.

China’s top court warns of tougher penalties for crypto crime

China’s Supreme People’s Court has signaled a harder line against cryptocurrency-related financial crime, pledging stricter penalties for individuals using digital assets to launder money or move funds overseas.

Chief Justice Zhang Jun issued the warning in the court’s annual report to the National People’s Congress, highlighting the growing role of crypto in cross-border financial offenses.

Authorities say the crackdown is part of a broader campaign against technology-enabled crime, which increasingly includes artificial intelligence-driven fraud and coordinated online harassment campaigns known as “human flesh search.”

Despite the ban, enforcement agencies say criminals have continued to exploit digital assets to bypass China’s strict capital controls, which limit individuals to transferring US$50,000 abroad each year.

Palo Alto-based startup Rhoda AI announced that it has raised US$450 million in a Series A funding round, valuing the company at about US$1.7 billion.

The company plans to use the capital to expand development and deployment of artificial intelligence systems designed to train robots using internet-scale video data.

The round was led by Premji Invest and included investors such as Khosla Ventures, Temasek Holdings, and venture capitalist John Doerr.

Rhoda emerged from 18 months in stealth while unveiling its robotics platform, designed to enable machines to operate more effectively in complex and unpredictable industrial environments.

Chief executive Jagdeep Singh said the method helps robots adapt to unfamiliar conditions that might otherwise disrupt traditional models.

“We believe the next era of robotics requires models that understand how the world moves — not just what it looks like or how it’s described in language,” Singh said in a recent press release. The goal is simple: robots that work in the real world, not just controlled lab settings.”

The company calls its system a Direct Video Action model, which continuously observes its surroundings, predicts how the environment may change, and translates those predictions into robotic actions in real time.

According to Rhoda, the system updates its decisions every few hundred milliseconds in a closed feedback loop, allowing robots to adjust as conditions evolve.

“We believe the next era of robotics requires models that understand how the world moves — not just what it looks like or how it’s described in language,” Singh said. “By learning from internet-scale video and operating in closed loop, our systems are designed to adapt to real-world variability in ways conventional approaches struggle to achieve.”

Traditional robotics AI models are typically trained using teleoperation data, where human operators remotely control robot movements to generate training examples.

While effective in controlled settings, this method can limit how much data is available for robots to learn from. Rhoda’s approach instead uses millions of publicly available internet videos to teach robots about physical movement, object interactions and real-world dynamics.

The company then combines this large-scale video training with smaller amounts of robotic data to refine how machines execute tasks.

The company said its technology has already been tested in industrial settings using off-the-shelf robotic hardware inside an automotive manufacturing facility.

Rhoda plans to license its software platform to industrial customers and is also developing its own robotics hardware, including humanoid robots, to ensure the technology can operate effectively in production environments.

Tartisan Nickel Corp. (CSE: TN,OTC:TTSRF) (OTCQX: TTSRF) (FSE: 8TA) (‘Tartisan’, or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that the Company has acquired four additional claims in the Turtle Pond Area, Northwestern Ontario, approximately 40 km south of Dryden, Ontario. The total property size now consists of 165 staked units covering 3,454 ha. The claims are owned 100% by Tartisan Nickel Corps. wholly owned subsidiary Canadian Arrow Mines Limited.

The claims are located approximately 70 kms east of the Company’s flagship Kenbridge Nickel Deposit. The property is situated in an area of excellent infrastructure and consists of 165 claim units and hosts the historical Glatz, Double E and Night Danger nickel-copper showings.

Previous exploration efforts identified nickel-copper sulphide mineralization in twelve trenches along a 700 metre trend at the Glatz nickel copper showing. The zone, discovered in 1965 by local prospector A. Glatz, is up to 40 metres wide and is open along strike and at depth. Historical grab samples were reported to contain up to 1.95% Ni. In 2007, Canadian Arrow Mines Limited. conducted a surface grab sampling program which produced the following results: 1.28% Ni, 0.26% Cu re Glatz Trench 3; 0.99% Ni, 0.18% Cu re Glatz Trench 3; 0.39% Ni, 4.06% Cu re Trench 4. The mineralization varies from disseminated sulphides to narrow semi-massive sulphide bands. Six short drill holes were completed at that time with hole GZ-09-02 encountering 0.34% Ni, 0.16% Cu and 0.02% Co over 5.9 m from 45.0-50.9 m.

A nickel-copper-PGE discovery on the Double E airborne VTEM anomaly was identified in 2008. The drilling intersected two separate upper and lower mineralized zones in 2 drill holes. Hole EE-09-02 intersected 4.2 metres of 0.81% Ni, 0.52% Cu, 0.20gpt Pt, 0.16gpt P and 0.20gpt Au at a depth of 25.5 metres. This included 2 metres of 1.35% Ni, 0.81% Cu, 0.36gpt Pt, 0.27gpt Pd and 0.31gpt Au. A second zone was intersected at a depth of 135.1 metres containing 8.2m of 0.55% Ni and 0.38% Cu. Hole EE-l0-04 intersected 1.9 metres of 0.51% Ni, 0.24% Cu at a depth of 21.4 metres and a second narrow intersection of 1.9 metres of 0.52% Ni, 0.28% Cu at a depth of 28 metres.

Exploration diamond drilling work completed in 2009 and 2010 on the Night Danger nickel-copper intercepts and reported a nine-metre-wide section of stringers and blebs of sulphide which assayed 0.57% Ni and 0.45% Cu at a drill depth of 79m in hole ND-09-1. Two sections within this interval assayed greater than 1% nickel. Drill hole ND-10-1 intersected 4.53% Ni over 0.7m at a drill depth of 57.5m (Source; MNDM assessment files and Canadian Arrow Mines Limited news release dated June 1, 2010, SEDAR).

From November 28th to December 21st, 2024, a TDEM Geophysical survey was performed on the Turtle Pond Lake Property and was undertaken by Expert Geophysics Limited. Tartisan Nickel Corp. requested this survey for the purpose of determining drill targets and potential future exploration work on The Property.

Mark Appleby, President and CEO of Tartisan stated, ‘The Glatz, Double E and Night Danger nickel-copper showings display similar nickel and copper tenors as what we find near surface at our Kenbridge Nickel Deposit. Acquisition of these additional claims not only shows but also complement the company’s larger objective of developing the Kenbridge Project into a much larger area play. The Company will be formulating an exploration program consisting of surface sampling and potentially diamond drilling in 2026-27.’

South African gold producer Pan African Resources (LSE:PAF) has agreed to acquire Australian explorer Emmerson (LSE:EML) in an all-share transaction valued at approximately US$218 million.

The acquisition will be carried out through a scheme of arrangement under which Pan African will acquire 100 percent of Emmerson’s issued share capital.

Under the terms of the deal, Emmerson shareholders will receive 0.1493 Pan African shares in the form of ASX-listed Chess Depositary Interests for each Emmerson share held. Following completion of the transaction, Emmerson shareholders will own about 4.24 percent of the combined company.

The deal consolidates ownership of the Tennant Creek joint venture, where Pan African is currently partnered with Emmerson to explore and develop gold deposits across a large tenement package in Australia’s Northern Territory.

“This combination with our trusted JV partner represents a strategically logical consolidation of our Tennant Creek tenement package,” Emmerson chair Mark Connelly said in a company press release.

Tennant Creek, located between Alice Springs and Darwin, is one of Australia’s historic gold districts, known for high-grade deposits discovered during a mining boom in the 1930s.

Pan African chief executive Cobus Loots said the acquisition would allow the company to streamline development plans for new discoveries in the district, including the White Devil gold deposit.

The company currently operates a mix of low-cost surface operations and high-grade underground mines across South Africa and Australia. It is forecast to produce more than 275,000 ounces of gold in the 2026 financial year.

Pan African’s resource base totals approximately 42.9 million ounces of mineral resources and 13 million ounces of ore reserves, providing a long-term pipeline for production growth.

Loots said diversification is essential in the mining industry, where individual assets inevitably decline over time.

“In mining you are exploiting a wasting asset – so you’re either moving backwards or you’re progressing,” Loots told Currency in a recent interview. “We don’t want to move backwards.”

The transaction remains subject to several conditions, including shareholder approval and customary regulatory clearances.

A shareholder vote is expected to take place in mid-2026, with completion anticipated shortly thereafter if the scheme is approved.

Highlights: Dolphin Area continued infill drilling demonstrates potential for higher grade within the main resource area and at depth with notable intercepts including:

  • 2.41 g/t Au over 18.9m
  • 1.46 g/t Au over 88.4m
  • 3.09 g/t Au over 40.8m
  • 2.94 g/t Au over 58.4m

The width refers to drill hole intercepts; true width cannot be determined due to the uncertain geometry of mineralization.

VANCOUVER, BC, March 10, 2026 /CNW/ – Freegold Ventures Limited (‘Freegold’) (TSX: FVL,OTC:FGOVF) (OTCQX: FGOVF) is pleased to report results from six additional drill holes completed at its Golden Summit project. Of these, three were drilled in the Dolphin area and three in the Cleary area. The results from these holes continue to demonstrate robust continuity of mineralization throughout the resource area.  Notably, the Dolphin area results indicate the potential for higher-grade mineralization within the main resource zone. These results also provide further validation of the current resource model, confirming both its reliability and the potential for further growth at Golden Summit.

Both the already substantial size and exploration potential of the Golden Summit project clearly indicate that multiple development strategies can be pursued. Building on the success of the 2025 program, the 2026 drill program will continue to focus on tightening drill spacing to enhance the grade of the resource estimate prior to the pre-feasibility study (PFS). In addition, geotechnical and supplementary metallurgical test holes will also be drilled. Pilot-scale testing on a sample representative of the Golden Summit deposit is complete, and a flotation concentrate has been produced from a 1,500 kg sample collected from 12 drill holes. This concentrate, which is less than 4% of the original material, will undergo additional testing to refine the preferred oxidation or treatment process and determine the most effective processing methods during the PFS. So far, the prior oxidation test work has been highly successful, showing that total gold recoveries of over 90% are achievable. Tailings from locked-cycle flotation tests using the same flowsheet as the pilot plant have been analyzed for environmental characterization, including Acid Base Accounting (ABA) and Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedures (TCLP).  Tailings from the flotation-based flowsheet have been classified as low risk for acid generation due to the removal of sulphur and the presence of significant amounts of calcium carbonate. More specifically, results showed the Neutralization Potential to Acid Generating Potential ratio (NPR) of the flotation tailings was significantly above what is typically classified as non-acid generating. While maximizing recovery and NAV remain the priority, the project’s substantial resource base may permit a simpler processing flow sheet, which could lower both upfront capital and operating costs. This option will also be considered.

Two drill rigs are currently in operation, and a third crew is scheduled to arrive later this week. An additional three rigs will be deployed over the next six weeks to accelerate the completion of the drill program

Dolphin Area
Drilled to continue to evaluate zones of higher grade in the central Dolphin Area, Hole GSDL2537 demonstrates strong mineralized continuity as well as increased grade intersecting 2.41 g/t Au over 18.9m as well as 1.46 g/t Au over 88.4m.

Hole GS2542
Hole GS2542 was strategically drilled in the central portion of the Dolphin area, with the primary objective of evaluating the potential for higher-grade mineralization within the central Dolphin Zone. The results from this drill hole confirm zones of higher-grade mineralization.

Several noteworthy higher-grade intercepts were encountered in hole GS2542. These results again highlight the potential to delineate distinct zones of higher-grade mineralization within the broader resource area. Significant intercepts include:

  • 1.70 g/t Au over 48.8 metres
  • 3.09 g/t Au over 40.8 metres

The presence of these intervals supports ongoing efforts to define and expand the resource’s higher-grade components.

Hole GS2544 was drilled vertically in the northwest Dolphin area to evaluate the depth potential towards the northwest section of the main resource.

Results were highly encouraging, intersecting higher gold grades in the northwest portion of the main deposit and to depth. Several higher-grade gold intercepts were identified in the drill core, including:

  • 2.94 g/t Au over 21.9 metres
  • 2.34 g/t Au over 23.4 metres
  • 2.94 g/t Au over 58.4 metres

Based on these promising results, further drilling is planned for the northwest Dolphin area to continue evaluating the resource potential at depth and laterally.

2025/2026 Exploration Program Objectives
The objective of the current exploration program at Golden Summit is to advance the understanding of the mineralized zones within the project area with a particular emphasis on the western and eastern extensions of the existing resource. A major focus is to identify and delineate higher-grade corridors within the mineralized zones. Locating these corridors is a key priority, as their presence is expected to positively impact the project’s economics by potentially increasing the resource grade. The exploration program also includes geotechnical drilling, further metallurgical test work, and additional supporting studies to advance the overall project.  Drilling will target the WOW, Dolphin, and Cleary Hill areas, as well as the recently discovered Tamarack zone. As the season progresses, additional drilling is planned east of the main resource zone. This ongoing work is intended to further expand and refine the resource base, supporting the continued advancement and development of the Golden Summit project. Golden Summit’s history of gold occurrences, previous placer production, and its current resource base collectively highlight the project’s potential to evolve into a district of its own within an already prolific gold-producing area.

Drilling concluded in mid-December with a total of 63 holes completed. Analytical work, including cutting and sampling of the remaining drill holes, is ongoing, with further results to be reported upon validation. 19 holes remain to be reported. Since 2020, Golden Summit has grown into one of North America’s largest undeveloped gold resources through targeted drilling campaigns, model improvements, and enhanced understanding of mineralization controls. Positive metallurgical results have advanced the project, with recovery rates exceeding 90% using sulphide-oxidizing techniques, including BIOX®, POX, and the Albion Process. The GlassLock Process has also been tested, increasing the gold grade in the concentrate and reducing arsenic content, enabling direct-to-smelter sales.

As of July 2025, Golden Summit resources include an Indicated Primary Mineral Resource of 17.2 million ounces at 1.24 g/t Au and an Inferred Primary Mineral Resource of 11.9 million ounces at 1.04 g/t Au, using a 0.5 g/t cut-off grade and a gold price of $2,490. Ongoing cutting, sampling, and analytical work support an updated mineral resource estimate, which will incorporated into the upcoming Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS).

Analytical Program and QA/QC
HQ Core is logged, photographed and cut in half using a diamond saw, and one-half is placed in sealed bags for preparation and subsequent geochemical analysis by ALS’s facilities in Vancouver and Thunder Bay. Core samples were delivered to ALS’s facility in Vancouver, Canada, where each sample was crushed to 70% passing a 2 mm (Tyler 9 mesh, U.S. Std. No. 10) screen.  A representative ~500 g subsample was obtained by riffle splitting (SPL-32a) and analyzed for gold using ALS method Au-PA01, (Photon Assay) which provides a detection range of 0.03 to 350 ppm, in Thunder Bay. In addition, a subsample was analyzed for multi-element geochemistry using ALS method ME-ICP61 (34-element, four-acid ICP-AES).

A QA/QC program includes laboratory and field standards inserted every ten samples. Blanks are inserted at the start of the submittal, and at least one blank every 25 standards.

Homerun Resources Inc. (TSXV: HMR,OTC:HMRFF) (OTCQB: HMRFF) (‘Homerun’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that researchers at the University of California, Davis (‘UC Davis’), in collaboration with Homerun, have successfully produced fused silica glass from raw silica sand using a one-step thermoelectric Fast Joule Heating (‘FJH’) process. These tests demonstrate, at bench scale, that silica from Homerun’s Santa Maria Eterna (SME) Silica Sand Project can be converted directly into fused silica glass without chemical reagents, supporting the Company’s strategy to supply high-value advanced materials markets.

Building upon the prior test work completed by independent materials consultancy Dorfner Anzaplan (see news release), which confirmed that the raw SME silica sand is suitable as feedstock for fused silica production using conventional multi-step processing methods, Homerun and UC Davis specifically set out to evaluate whether that same material could be processed to fused silica glass using new, more efficient one-step thermoelectric processing techniques. The UC Davis testing has now produced fused silica glass.

The issue confronting wider adoption of high-purity fused silica across high volume traditional and novel end-uses is the limited supply and high price due to the cost of conventional processing techniques.

Figure 1. Image of the flash-joule heating process and setup. A conductive material (here carbon black) is sandwiched between graphite plugs and undergo a rapid heating process as a charged voltage is released from the capacitor. This entire setup is enclosed within a vacuum-sealed chamber, which can be purged and filled with various gases to enable controlled atmospheric environments.

Subhash Risbud, Director of the Risbud Research Group at UC Davis, stated, ‘Critical to the success of our FJH process was incorporating a conductive medium for the current to flow while yet keeping the silica powder separated. Thus, we developed a new tube-within-tube configuration in which silica is confined to the inner tube while the outer tube contains the conductive substrate (graphite). This approach helps sustain the high temperatures required for extended processing. Based on our results, the silica to fused silica glass synthesis has worked using our FJH equipment (as shown in Figure 1). Fused silica glass was achieved very rapidly after our processing peak temperature reached about 2000 C (above the 1710 C melting point of silica). These exciting new results in processing to fused silica glass using Flash Joule Heating are reported as part of the continuing collaborative research being conducted by the Risbud Research Group at UC Davis and adds to previous new laser-based techniques developed in the same lab for the purification of the SME silica sand, all under the continuing funding from Homerun.’

‘Utilizing the Fast Joule Heating method to process a raw silica sample from the Homerun SME Silica Sand Project into fused silica glass is a big step in our advanced materials development,’ stated Brian Leeners, CEO of Homerun. ‘The FJH method does not use any chemical reagents and therefore generates no polluting waste stream. If the energy source is renewable, then this is a completely green process. We chose FJH for this testing as it has been scaled utilizing off-the-shelf equipment in other critical materials processing. These techniques, after the necessary improvements, can produce fused silica glass used for medical, pharmaceutical, electronics, photonics and other similar technology and energy applications.’

The next step in the Homerun / UC Davis testing plan is to incorporate off-the-shelf equipment to begin scaling the production capacity of the fused silica glass using FJH. This testing was initiated immediately after the successful bench testing.

Fused silica tech markets are dominated by semiconductor fabrication, high-performance optics, and advanced electronics, driven by its extreme purity, thermal stability, and optical clarity. Key applications include lithography lenses, wafer substrates, fiber optics, and laser systems, with growing demand from 5G, IoT, and long-term data storage. Ultra-pure fused silica also serves as a high-performance, low-loss substrate for superconducting qubits and as a base material for silicon-based, spin-qubit quantum computers.

Nvidia recently announced a combined investment of US$4 billion into two photonics companies, Lumentum and Coherent to advance photonics technology for AI data centers. The multiyear agreements include purchase commitments and capacity access for advanced optical networking products, supporting U.S.-based manufacturing and R&D. The move targets performance and efficiency gains in AI systems by enhancing data transfer capabilities using photonics.

Photonics uses light instead of electrical signals through copper, enabling faster and more energy-efficient data transfer. Nvidia’s adoption of co-packaged optics in Spectrum and Quantum switches removes the need for pluggable modules on the switch side, cutting hardware requirements and power consumption. This technology is essential for connecting multiple AI systems or data centers over extended distances. Nvidia success could lead to direct integration of photonics into Nvidia’s GPUs, boosting AI training speed and efficiency. Alternatively, faster innovation from competitors such as Amazon or Google could challenge Nvidia’s position. Control over photonics supply might also lengthen lead times for rivals, reshaping the competitive dynamics in the optics market.

https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/02/nvidia-investment-coherent-lumentum.html

‘NVIDIA is advancing the world’s most sophisticated silicon photonics to build the next generation of gigawatt-scale AI factories.’

NEW PATENT APPLICATION ADDED TO PATENT PORTFOLIO

Homerun also announces that a new patent application has been filed for an invention resulting under the Company’s partnership with UC Davis. The invention relates to a:

‘PROCESS FOR OBTAINING HIGH-PURITY SILICA SAND AND THE RESULTING PRODUCT.’

The invention describes a novel, environmentally friendly process for purifying silica sand to ultra-high purity levels, primarily targeting industrial applications such as semiconductors, LCDs, and optical glass. The process leverages femtosecond laser ablation, which eliminates the need for hazardous chemicals and energy-intensive mechanical methods traditionally used in silica purification.

Key Steps in the Process: Grinding, Vacuum, Laser Treatment and analysis.

Results and Advantages:

  • Purity Improvement: The analysis shows a significant reduction in impurities (Ti, Ca, Mg, Fe), with purity increasing from 99.75% to +99.99%.

  • Environmental Benefits: The process avoids hazardous chemicals and reduces energy consumption compared to conventional methods.

  • Industrial Relevance: The resulting high-purity quartz silica sand (HPQ) is suitable for demanding industrial uses.

The above UC Davis fused silica glass testing results have not been independently verified and may also be the subject of a future Homerun Patent Application.
