VANCOUVER, BC – TheNewswire - September 17, 2023 – Heritage Mining Ltd. (CSE:HML) (FRA:Y66) (“Heritage” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce drill results (holes 1-6) from its Phase 1, 2023 program in the Alcona Area at its flagship Drayton-Black Lake Project (“DBL Project”). The drill program totaled 2,208m of NQ2 diamond drill core in 9 holes within the Alcona Area (holes 7, 8 and 17 pending).

 

Alcona Area Drill Program Highlights:

  • Highest drill intersection ever recorded: HML23-004: 19.45 g/t Au and 62.10 g/t Ag over 1.05m from 177.90m, contained in a 15m anomalous zone with a weighted average grade of 1.48 g/t Au from 174m to 189m. 

  

Highlights:

 

• HML23-001: 

   

  • 1.26g/t Au over 2.15m from 38.35m 

  • 1.54 g/t Au and 5.17 g/t Ag over 1.50m from 45.00m 

  • These intersections are part of an 8.15m anomalous zone with a weighted average grade of 0.68 g/t Au from 38.35m to 45.55m 

 

Note: HML23-001 confirmed at surface via prospecting “Delaney Vein” (15.35 g/t Au and 163 g/t Ag and 16.5 g/t Au and 29.9 g/t Ag surface grabs, Figure 2) proving Alcona area geological modeling

  • This intersection is part of a 11.40m anomalous zone with a weighted average grade of 0.86 g/t Au from 30.70m to 42.10m 

 

• HML23-003: 

   

  • 1.34 g/t Au over 1.30m from 5.7m  

  • 5.32 g/t Au and 11.85 g/t Ag over 0.65m from 11.85m 

  • These intersections are part of a 6.8m anomalous zone with a weighted average grade of 0.77 g/t Au from 5.70m to 12.50m. 

  

• HML23-004: 

   

  • 1.81 g/t Au over 1.00m from 65m  

  • 1.96 g/t Au and 3.51 g/t Ag over 2.90m from 70.60m including 4.81 g/t Au and 8.05 g/t Ag over 0.50m  

  • These intersections are part of a 8.50m anomalous zone with a weighted average grade of 0.91 g/t Au from 65.00m to 73.50m 

  • 19.45 g/t Au and 62.10 g/t Ag over 1.05m from 177.90m.  

  • These intersections are part of a 15.00m anomalous zone with a weighted average grade of 1.48 g/t Au from 174m to 189m. 

  

• HML23-005: 

   

  • 5.75 g/t Au and 30.41 g/t Ag over 1.35m from 70.30m incl. 9.75 g/t Au and 53.30 g/t Ag over 0.75m.  

  • These intersections are part of a 10.40m anomalous zone with a weighted average grade of 0.79 g/t Au from 70.30m to 80.70m 

  

“We are thrilled at the results from our first drill program at Alcona. Early possible indications of a large-tonnage low-grade deposit are present. The Alcona Area contains high deposit potential with year-round access and proximity to infrastructure, an ideal phase two winter program candidate.

 

Holes 7, 8 and 17 are pending assays. We are very excited about holes 7 & 8 as they’ve shown very encouraging mineralization, so much so, we added a step back hole from hole 7 (hole 17) to the drill program and they both also hit unexpected mineralization near surface, widening the corridor.  

 

Phase two planning has been initiated and will be communicated to the market once we have received all assays from this area.

 

Overall, a fantastic start to our drilling program. We look forward to communicating additional results in the near future on Alcona, New Millennium (never drilled) and Moretti target areas.” Peter Schloo, President, CEO and Director.

 

“I am encouraged by the number of high-grade intersections and anomalous gold mineralization between them.

The Alcona area has potential to host a high tonnage low grade gold deposit. More drilling is required to substantiate our geological modeling on this target.” Mitch Lavery P. Geo, Strategic Advisor and QP to the Company.

Mineralized deformation corridor over 1,000 m (up to 200 m wide) consisting of multiple discrete

zones of deformed volcanic rocks and shear parallel quartz veins.
