Heritage Mining confirms visible gold at Melba Project, Ontario
Heritage Mining Ltd. [CSE: HML; FRA: Y66] has confirmed visible gold in core in previously sampled diamond drill hole ML3900-002, outside the interval previously announced in press release dated February 9, 2026 at the Melba Mine Project, Ontario, with its ongoing diamond drill program. Coarse gold has been identified in half core of ML3900-002 at 73.3 metres, downhole of the recently announced 42.57 g/t Au over 1 metre from 72 metres.
“The identification of visible gold outside of the previous reported interval suggests potential to expand the mineralized zone and exploration potential of the Melba Project. We look forward to updating our stakeholders on additional exploration results in short order.” Commented Peter Schloo, President, CEO and Director of Heritage.
Melba, located ~22km northeast from Kirkland Lake and 90km southeast of Timmins in Northeastern Ontario, Canada. The project is comprised of ~3,886Ha. 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, +1Moz Au) ~22km away, and the Ross Mine (+1Moz Au) ~16km away.
Visible gold observed at 73.3 metres depth within a sheared zone with quartz veinlets within a meta-rhyolitic volcaniclastic unit. The mineralized quartz vein array system is hosted within a silicified, brecciated meta-felsic volcaniclastic unit, in close proximity to a greywacke/felsic volcaniclastic contact. The gold occurrence is proximal to the historic Melba Mine workings in the prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt within the Kirkland Lake Mining District.
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.
