The True North Gold Deposit is a classical Archean orogenic gold deposit, consisting of quartz-carbonate vein systems hosted by brittle-ductile shear zones and faults in volcanic and sedimentary rocks (greenstones). The deposit is hosted by a north-younging, moderately inclined, succession of volcanic and sedimentary rocks, belonging to the 2.73–2.72 Ga Gem assemblage. At Rice Lake, this assemblage includes volcanic sandstone and conglomerate, tholeiitic basalt flows and gabbro sills and dacitic volcaniclastic rocks, intruded by various felsic porphyry dikes.

Tailings Management Area
The Tailings Management Area (TMA) is located approximately 1-mile (1.6 km) north of the process plant in an area naturally defined by bedrock ridges around the perimeter of a previously flat boggy area. The original ground surface of the bog was near elevation 889 feet above sea level (asl) (271 m asl) (geodetic) with bedrock ridges on the south and west sides up to 920 feet above sea level (asl) (280 m asl) and bounded to the north by bedrock up to elevation 985 feet asl (300 m asl).

The TMA currently consists of eight dykes with a number of the embankments separated by bedrock outcroppings such that they follow an A/B nomenclature. The embankments have been designed and constructed in various stages and phases from 1997 onwards to the most recent raises and improvements completed from 2012 to 2014. The current configuration of the TMA consists of a tailings pond and ........

1911 Gold is a junior gold producer and explorer that owns the True North mine and mill complex at Bissett, Manitoba, and is currently reprocessing historic tailings on a seasonal basis.

Tailings reprocessing commenced in 2016. From 2016 to 2018 reprocessing of the tailings was carried out concurrently with processing of underground ore when weather allowed.

During the year ended December 31, 2018 the True North underground mine operations transitioned to care and maintenance as a result of ongoing negative cashflows. On October 5, 2019, the 1911 Gold Corporation temporarily suspended ongoing care and maintenance of the underground infrastructure. Access to the True North mine has been temporarily closed.

The primary mining method at the True North mine was long hole stoping.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company operated for 188 days, commencing tailings operations on April 26, 2019, and suspending operations on October 31, 2019.

The Company recommenced tailings operations on May 21, 2020, delayed due to the reduction of onsite personnel initiated on March 23, 2020 at the True North complex in response to the increased risk of COVID-19 outbreak within Manitoba. The operations averaged 1,181 tpd at an average grade of 0.9 g/t gold during the 190 operating days in 2020.

North Tailings Operation utilizes an excavator to windrow tailings within the Tailings Management Area (TMA) for dewatering and ........
