The UK's Competition and Markets Authority has extracted promises from Apple and Google over their App Stores, really just bringing over the same features already in place in Europe.UK Parliament - image credit: ParliamentWhile the UK is no longer part of the European Union, its regulators have been slowly copying the EU's initiatives regarding Big Tech. In October 2025, for instance, the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) designated Apple and Google as having "strategic market status."That's a synonym for the EU's gatekeeper term, and just as with the European Commission, the UK's CMA has given itself the right to regulate Apple and Google. According to Reuters, the CMA has announced that the two firms will now comply with its demands over making app stores fairer. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums

VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - 1911 Gold Corporation ("1911 Gold" or the "Company") (TSXV:AUMB) (OTCQX:AUMBF) (FRA: 2KY) is pleased to announce significant positive results from the independent Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") for the True North Gold Project ("True North"), located in southeastern Manitoba, Canada. The PEA was prepared by AMC Mining Consultants (Canada) Ltd. ("AMC"), in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Project ("NI 43-101"), with all financial figures expressed in Canadian Dollars unless otherwise stated.The PEA outlines a robust gold mining operation utilizing the fully built and permitted infrastructure, including shafts, underground workings, and the processing and tailings management facility. 1911 Gold has estimated the infrastructure replacement value as being in excess of $400 million. The plan targets steady-state production of 58,114 ounces per annum with a mine life of 11 years. Management will host a webinar on Tuesday, February 10, 2026 at 10am PT (1pm ET), to discuss the PEA results and to answer any questions with respect to the PEA and the planned production restart strategy. Please refer to the details at the end of this release.PEA Highlights:Robust Economics (After-tax): Net present value (5%) ("NPV") of $391 million, internal rate of return ("IRR") of 105%, and a payback period of 2.2 years at a long-term gold price of US$3,000 per ounce ("oz"); at a constant gold price of US$4,800/oz, the NPV is $998 million, no calculated IRR due to no years with a negative cash flow, and an almost immediate payback period of 1.0 year. Production Profile: Steady-state production profile of 1,215 tonnes per day ("tpd") for average payable gold production of 58,100 oz per annum ("oz/year") (Years 3-8) with an 11-year life of mine ("LOM").LOM Cash Flow: Total payable gold production of 527,100 oz LOM with the current mineral resources, generating $545 million undiscounted after-tax free cash flow1 and generating 326 full-time jobs.Fully Permitted, Low Capital Project: Initial capital expenditures ("Capex") of $59.2 million, utilizing the currently built and permitted payable infrastructure. Additional Capex of $46.7 million during the first 2 years of ramp-up, and $367.2 million of sustaining capital over LOM with a high profitability index of 6.6 and low peak investment of $59.2 million in Year 1.Processing: Average diluted mill head grade of 4.32 grams per tonne gold ("g/t", "Au") with gold recoveries of 93.5% over the LOM.Cash Costs and AISC1: Producing gold at a cash cost of US$1,390/oz and all in sustaining cost ("AISC") of US$1,897/oz.Near-Term Production: Production due to start in the first half of 2027 ("H1 2027") with test mining planned for the second half of 2026 ("H2 2026").Production Growth: 1911 Gold has identified excellent potential to increase production by developing recently discovered zones such as San Antonio Southeast ("SAM SE"), San Antonio West ("SAM W"), and Shore which are adjacent to existing infrastructure and not included in the study, in addition to regional targets.1.AISC and Free Cash Flow are non-IFRS financial measures and have no standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS"), and may not be comparable to similar measures used by other issuers."The delivery of this PEA marks another defining moment for 1911 Gold, outlining a highly efficient, low-capital path to the first phase of production with robust economics and exceptional returns," stated Shaun Heinrichs, President and Chief Executive Officer of 1911 Gold. "This plan leverages existing infrastructure and a mining strategy suited to the ore body, significantly reducing the project's capital intensity and technical hurdles that challenged previous operators. Our staged development approach provides a disciplined roadmap to ramp up operations toward an initial steady-state production. This PEA proves that True North is not just a restart story, but is the cornerstone of a district-scale gold project in one of Canada's premier mining jurisdictions."Eric Vinet, Chief Operating Officer of 1911 Gold, stated "This PEA outlines a foundational plan to restart operations at True North by optimizing existing infrastructure and confirms the economic viability of a safe and efficient multi-mine operation. Beyond the scope of this study, we see significant potential to further optimize these economics by establishing a centralized 'super-level' on Level 16. By connecting the adjacent zones at Hinge, 007, and, potentially, Cohiba directly to the True North Main Shaft, we can transition to a gravity-fed, horizontal haulage model. The proximity of these zones - notably Hinge, located within 100 m of existing infrastructure - supports the technical rationale for centralized hoisting, which has the potential to materially reduce operating costs."True North PEA OverviewTable 1: Summary of True North Project EconomicsGeneral Unit LOM Total / Avg.Gold price assumption (Long Term)per ounceUS$3,000Gold price assumption (2027)per ounceUS$3,500Gold Price assumption (2028)per ounceUS$3,200Exchange rate($US:$CAD)0.72Mine lifeyears11Total mill feedtonnes4,066,000Average diluted grade (LOM)g/t Au4.32Economics (pre-tax) Unit LOM Total / Avg.Net present value (NPV 5%)millions526.7Internal rate of return (IRR)%118 %Payback years2.2LOM avg. annual cash flowmillions67.1LOM cumulative cash flow millions732.8Steady State (yrs 3-8) avg. annual cash flowmillions93.0Economics (after-tax) Unit LOM Total / Avg.Net present value (NPV 5%)millions390.6Internal rate of return (IRR)%105 %Paybackyears2.2LOM avg. annual cash flowmillions48.9LOM cumulative cash flowmillions544.5Steady Sate (yrs, 3-8) avg. annual cash flowmillions68.2Profitability index (NPV/initial capital)ratio6.6Peak investment (Annual)millions59.2Production Unit LOM Total / Avg.Mill head grade g/t Au4.32Mill head grade (years 2029-2034)g/t Au4.40Mill recovery rate (average LOM)%93.5 %Average mining rate (years 2029-2034)tpd1,215Production cont...

Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.Sensitivities1911 Gold has conducted a sensitivity analysis using the PEA financial model on the base case pre-tax and after-tax NPV and IRR of the Project, using the following variables: metal price, initial capex, total operating costs, and foreign exchange. Table 2 shows the after-tax sensitivity analysis results at various long term gold price assumptions.As shown in Table 3 and Table 4, the sensitivity analysis revealed that the project is most sensitive to changes in gold prices, and foreign exchange and less sensitive to capital and operating costs.Table 2: After-Tax Sensitivity SummaryGold Price(US$/oz)$2,000$2,600$3,000Long-term(Base Case)$3,800$4,800$5,500After-tax NPV(5%), millions($41)$247$391$665$998$1,237IRR-1.3 %50.0 %105.3 %611.0 %NA* NA*Profitability index-0.74.26.611.216.920.9Payback (years)17.04.42.2Full story available on Benzinga.com
