Heritage Mining confirms high-grade gold at Melba Project, Ontario
Heritage Mining Ltd. [CSE: HML FRA: Y66], further to its visible gold occurrence in its ML3800-003 press release dated July 29, 2026, and ML3800-004 press release dated August 20, 2026, reported the confirmation of high-grade gold mineralization at the Melba Project, Ontario, within a zone comprising multiple cm to meter scale quartz-rich shear zones that locally display breccia textures.
Melba Highlights: ML3800-004: 15.57 g/t gold over 9 metres from 43 metres, including 28.98 g/t gold over 4.80 metres.
Per the August 20, 2026 Press release: Drill hole ML3800-004 displayed the most visible gold occurrences to date, up to 2mm in size. The coarse gold occurs as disseminated grains within multiple cm to meter scale shear zones that locally display a brecciated texture. The multiple cm to metre scale shear zones were intersected obliquely, hence the zone width is exaggerated (9m) and true width (~6m). Drill holes ML3800-003 and ML3800-004 are the most recent holes testing an interpreted high-grade gold zone identified by Brett Davis in his structural evaluation of the Melba vein system.
“The assays result from ML3800-004 are encouraging, confirming our new structural theory. We look forward to expanding the Melba Project footprint through systematic exploration and communicating results to our stakeholders. Drilling program remains ongoing at the time of this press release,” commented Peter Schloo, President, CEO and Director of Heritage.
The company is currently drilling ML3800-005 and will proceed to Phase 2 drilling in the near future. Drilling is targeting high-grade gold mineralization along the down-dip and along-strike extensions of the multi-shear/breccia zone.
The company is also working with newly acquired Mag, EM and Lidar data to identify prospective areas within the Melba property.
Melba, located ~22km northeast from Kirkland Lake and 90km southeast of Timmins in northeastern Ontario, Canada. Melba lies along the Ross Fault, which is a splay off of the Porcupine-Destor Fault Zone and is associated with development stage and historic producing gold mines: McEwen Mine (Grey Fox Mine) ~22km away, and the Ross Mine ~16km away. Refer to original press release for complete assays.
The company is advancing its Ontario Project Portfolio in northwestern and northeastern Ontario. The Drayton-Black Lake, Contact Bay and Scattergood projects are located near Sioux Lookout in the underexplored Eagle-Wabigoon-Manitou Greenstone Belt. The Melba property is located near Ramore, Ontario. All Projects benefit from a wealth of historic data, excellent site access and logistical support from the local community.
