Heritage Mining drills multiple high-grade intercepts at Melba Project, Ontario
Heritage Mining Ltd. [CSE: HML FRA: Y66] reported results from the ongoing drilling program at Melba Project, located ~22km northeast from Kirkland Lake and 90km southeast of Timmins in northeastern Ontario, Canada.
Assays are reported from drill hole ML3855-001, which returned 9.34 g/t Au over 2.00 metres from 67 metres, including 18.25 g/t Au over 1.00 metre from 67.0 metres, visible gold noted in core; 6.07 g/t Au over 2 metres from 92.50 metres, including 21.74 g/t Au over 0.50 metres from 93 metres with visible gold noted in core; 1.33 g/t Au over 1.5 metres from 97 megres visible gold noted in core.
Drill hole M3800-001 has been completed and core is being processed for assay. M3800-002 will start drilling soon and the company will be undertaking oriented core measurements to determine the strike and dip of the multiple vein sets.
Melba Project – Multiple Visible Gold Occurrences Return High-Grade Gold: “Multiple high-grade intervals have been returned from multiple visible gold intersections in drill hole ML3855-001. Furthermore, recently completed drill hole ML3800-001 tested the company’s concept of a “stacked vein system” at Melba. Drill hole ML3800-002 will test deeper levels of the veins intersected in ML3800-001. We continue to believe that the broader zones of quartz veins and veinlets could converge into a much larger mineralized system at Melba.” Commented Peter Schloo, President, CEO and Director of Heritage.
The mineralized zone is strongly structurally controlled, containing multi-generational veins hosting breccia-, shear- and extension-related features. Vein morphologies and overprinting relationships are products of multiple fluid ingress events, which are characteristic of large orogenic-style gold deposits globally. Diamond drill intersections suggest a braided system of shear-hosted veins with intervening altered wall-rocks in the damage zones. The braided character of the veins and the historical mapping from Melba underground workings have imparted variable orientations to mineralized and wall-rock structures, which will be assessed with a forward program of oriented core drilling.
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.
