OverActive Media's Movistar KOI Crowned League of Legends Champions in Europe, Achieves Top Peak Viewership
OverActive Media locks in fourth European League of Legends title and the LEC's #1 seed for MSI Vancouver and the Esports World Cup Riyadh TORONTO, June 10, 2025 /CNW/ - OverActive Media Corp. (TSXV: OAM) (OTC: OAMCF), a global esports and entertainment company for today's generation of fans, today announced that the Company's Movistar KOI has been crowned 2025 League of Legends EMEA Championship (LEC) Spring Split Champion. This split (season) represents the second of three splits of the 2025 competition under the LEC banner where 10 European teams compete for the title. In front of a sold-out arena and a peak digital audience of more than 509,000 concurrent viewers, Movistar KOI delivered a 3-1 victory to secure its first LEC title under the Movistar KOI banner. According to Esports Charts, the Spring Split generated 32.6 million hours watched and averaged 228,000 viewers per minute. Throughout the split, Movistar KOI matchups delivered the highest peak viewership of the Spring season, occupying the top three peak-viewed broadcasts across the split¹. Combined with the sold‑out LEC Roadtrip live event in Madrid this April, the team's surge in audience engagement, positions OverActive Media to maximize performance payments under its commercial agreement with the LEC. The championship caps a dominant run that reinforces OverActive Media's reputation as one of the most competitive and consistent organizations in esports. Since entering the LEC in 2021, the Company has now collected four European titles (2021 Spring, 2021 Summer, 2023 Spring, 2025 Spring) while continuing to grow a global fan base alongside premier commercial partners Telefónica's Movistar, Samsung, Kappa and Razer. "This is a huge win for our organization and for everyone who believes in what we're building," said Adam Adamou, CEO of OverActive Media. "To bring home our fourth LEC title, our first under the Movistar KOI banner, is an incredible moment. I'm so proud of our players, coaches and staff, and to our fans - your energy carries us. This win is more than a trophy, it's proof that OverActive Media's global vision is working, bringing together talent, infrastructure and community to build something that lasts. We can't wait to bring this team to Canada and continue this run on the international stage." With the win, Movistar KOI locks in the League's top seed for the 2025 Mid-Season Invitational in Vancouver taking place from June 27-July 12 and the 2025 Esports World Cup (EWC) in Riyadh, a landmark international event boasting more than US$70 million in total prizing across titles. OverActive Media now joins a select group of organizations fielding multiple qualified teams for the EWC, following the recent qualification of its Toronto Ultra Call of Duty and Call of Duty Warzone rosters. As an established EWC Foundation Partner, the Company is also eligible for incremental commercial and operational support across its entire competitive portfolio. The roster will represent the region and the KOI brand on the international stage, beginning in Canada, home to OverActive Media and star midlaner Joseph "Jojopyun" Pyun, the first North American player ever to earn a starting position, and now a championship inside the LEC. Spanish jungler Javier "Elyoya" Prades Batalla was named Playoffs MVP after anchoring his fourth LEC victory since joining OverActive Media in 2021, further cementing his status as one of Europe's elite competitors. Movistar KOI will convene for a high-performance boot camp at OverActive's Toronto headquarters before travelling to MSI Vancouver and the Esports World Cup Riyadh.

1911 Gold Intersects up to 58.66 g/t Gold over 1.40 m on San Antonio West Zone at True North
VANCOUVER, BC, June 10, 2025 /CNW/ - 1911 Gold Corporation (" 1911 Gold" or the " Company") (TSXV: AUMB) (OTCBB: AUMBF) (FRA: 2KY) is pleased to announce the assay results from twelve (12) drill holes for 3,208.0 metres ("m") from the ongoing surface drill program at the True North Gold Project. The True North project, including a permitted mill, camp, and tailings facility, is centrally located within the Company's 100%-owned Rice Lake Gold property in southeast Manitoba, Canada. Highlights: Drilling has continued to expand the near-surface quartz vein hosted gold ("Au") mineralization on the new San Antonio West ("SAM West") target along strike and to depth San Antonio West Target Drill results confirmed the western and down dip extensions of gold mineralization within the prolific San Antonio mafic unit up to 350 m down dip and 500 m along strike, including: TN-25-057: Intersected 58.66 grams per tonne (g/t) Gold (Au) over 1.40 m at a downhole depth of 145.00 m, including 63.20 g/t Au over 0.90 m and 50.50 g/t Au over 0.50 m TN-25-056: Intersected 9.59 g/t Au over 2.30 m at a downhole depth of 103.10 m, including 11.25 g/t Au over 1.80 m, including 21.30 g/t Au over 0.50 m TN-25-058: Intersected 10.40 g/t Au over 1.00 m at a downhole depth of 249.30 m "These are some of the best results we've seen to date from the San Antonio West target.", Shaun Heinrichs, CEO and President, stated, "The drilling confirms the potential definition of high-grade ore shoots within the SAM West target zone, and further supports our geological model. These results build the case for continued underground exploration, where we see significant potential to define and expand new and existing mineral resources within the mine infrastructure." 1911 Gold has completed fifty-one (51) surface drill holes, for a total of 11,695.4 m on the current drill program, which commenced in October 2024 on new exploration targets located within the True North Gold mine footprint. The results of seven (7) new drill holes for 1,928.0 m from the San Antonio West target and five (5) initial drill holes for a total of 1,280.00 m from the Gate target are included in this release. New targets have been generated and drill tested within prospective host rocks and mineralized structural settings, including significant historical drill results. The results from nine (9) additional exploration drill holes are currently pending. Additional drill planning is underway on the San Antonio West and San Antonio Southeast targets and will commence when access to the Mine site is permitted (see press release entitled "1911 Gold Temporarily Suspends Operation at True North Complex due to Bissett Evacuation Order", dated May 30, 2025). The exploration drilling plan includes up to 30,000 m of drilling by the end of 2025. S an Antonio West Target: Discussion of Results Drilling completed to date has confirmed the extensions of gold mineralization within the SAM gabbro to over 600 m west of the historically mined San Antonio zone, covering an area 500 m long and over 260 m to depth, dipping 50° to the northeast. Twenty-one (21) drill holes for a total of 4,220.0 m have been completed to date on the SAM West target area. The latest drill holes, comprised of seven (7) new drill holes for 1,928.0 m, extended the footprint of mineralization 100 m down dip from the results announced on April 30, 2025 (see press release entitled "1911 Gold Intersects 62.40 g/t Au over 1.00 m on San Antonio West at True North"). Drill hole TN-25-056, designed to undercut high grade gold mineralization intersected in drill hole TN-25-037 (1.00 m @ 8.73 g/t Au, 1.00 m @ 62.40 g/t Au and 0.70 m @ 6.09 g/t Au and 4.50 m @ 4.17 g/t Au), intersected 2.30 m @ 9.59 g/t Au, including 1.80 m @ 11.25 g/t Au and 0.50 m @ 21.30 g/t Au. Drilling successfully extended the gold mineralization approximately 50 m down dip and returned high-grade gold results. Drill hole TN-25-057 (1.40 m @ 58.66 g/t Au) tested the down-dip extensions of the high-grade gold intercepts of previously released holes TN-24-043 (1.00 m @ 12.50 g/t Au) and TN-24-045 (3.70 m @ 6.84 g/t Au, including 1.40 m @ 12.40 g/t Au and 2.70 m @ 5.30 g/t Au, including 0.50 m @ 11.30 g/t Au). Drilling successfully intercepted high-grade gold mineralization approximately 160 m down dip. Drill hole TN-25-058 (0.50 m @ 10.40 g/t Au) designed to test the 160 m down-dip extension of the gold mineralization from hole TN-25-056, intersected three distinct gold mineralized veins extending the multiple vein structures to 340 m depth. Table 1: Select Significant Drill Hole Assay Results 1) Intercepts above a cut-off grade of 2.25 g/t Au 2) Maximum of 2.50 m internal dilution and no top capping applied 3) Intervals represent drill core length and are considered to represent 60% to 90% of true widths 4) Full Significant Assay Results included in Table 2 5) Drill hole Information included in Table 3 Drilling has further confirmed the existence of up to three (3) vein zones hosted within the target gabbro unit, supporting the potential to mine multiple zones on levels as conducted historically (see press release entitled "1911 Gold Intersects 62.40 g/t Au over 1.00 m on San Antonio West at True North", dated April 30, 2025). Planning for the next phase of drilling on the SAM West target is ongoing. San Antonio West Target The San Antonio West target is located west of the historically mined San Antonio zone of the True North Gold Mine. The San Antonio West target occurs within the gabbro of the San Antonio mafic unit and the intersection with the Cartwright South mineralized shear zone. The SAM gabbro hosts the majority of the known gold mineralization within the True North Mine and historically produced 1,309,351 ounces Au at an average grade of 9.33 g/t Au from San Antonio (see technical report entitled "NI 43-101 Technical Report on the True North Gold Project, Bissett, Manitoba, Canada, dated December 23. 2024). Drilling has now confirmed gold mineralization in quartz-carbonate shear veins with sericite, chlorite, minor tourmaline alteration and up to 2% disseminated and veinlet-hosted pyrite. The target occurs as a vein system parallel to the San Antonio Mine ore body, with the same geological, alteration and mineralization characteristics. Gold mineralization has been traced over a strike length of 500 m and to 360 m down dip. Gate Target The Gate target was defined to explore for potential gold mineralization on the intersection of the Cartwright South and L13 shear zones with the Shoreline Basalt unit. Five (5) drill holes, totalling 1,280.00 m (see Table 3), were completed on this target. All drill holes intercepted well-developed quartz veining hosted within sediments, with drill hole TN-25-044 intersecting 0.90 m @ 1.30 g/t Au and drill hole TN-25-049 intersecting 0.90 m @ 0.57 g/t Au. Drilling did not intersect wide sections of basalt, which host the majority of mineralization in this unit at True North. Additional interpretation is ongoing to define the basalt flows within the Shoreline Basalt unit, which in this area appear to occur as discontinuous lenses intercalated within sediments. Interpretation, modelling and drill targeting are ongoing to define potential extensions of the basalt unit hosting gold mineralization. Site Access Update Recent rainfall, favourable winds, and cooler temperatures have eased wildfire conditions in the region; however, the Town of Bissett and the Company's True North site remain under evacuation as a precautionary measure. Fire crews continue to make progress in the area. Company facilities have not been impacted, and the Company expects to resume site activities once it is deemed safe to do so. Next Steps Building on the strong results achieved to date on new exploration targets and the compelling targets to expand the current resource, 1911 Gold is advancing plans to initiate underground exploration drilling. Once site access is re-established, the Company will continue preparing multiple underground levels to facilitate this next phase of work. Targeting is well underway, focusing on high-priority areas that offer meaningful resource expansion potential and support the mine plan currently under development. Mobilization of drill rigs to key underground levels is expected later this summer. Concurrently, the Company is actively evaluating additional targets across the property and advancing the redevelopment of the high-grade, near-surface Ogama-Rockland 43-101 mineral resource, located 25 km by road east of the True North complex. *Composites above 0.5 g/t Au and metal factor above 0.5 Au "gxm" Table 3: True North; Drill Hole Details *Coordinates are provided in UTM NAD83 Zone 15 Qualified Person Statement The scientific and technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Mr. Michele Della Libera, Vice-President Exploration of 1911 Gold Corporation, who is a "Qualified Person" as defined under NI 43-101.
