(CSE:HML) (FRA:Y66) (“Heritage” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the mobilization of its exploration program for Contact Bay Property (“Contact Bay”) as of August 12, 2023, a wholly owned exploration project located 12 kilometres south-southwest of the town of Dryden in Ontario.

 

The Company has commenced a systematic exploration program along with geophysical and geological interpretation via its previously announced partnership with Mira Geosciences leveraging the Airbourne EM and Mag survey previously completed by Heritage and wealth of historical information.
