HERITAGE MINING CONFIRMS ECONOMIC BASE AND PRECIOUS METALS GRADES UP TO 1.9% CU AND 0.40% NI AND EXPANDS CLAIM PACKAGE AT CONTACT BAY

Heritage Mining Ltd. has released field program results for its Contact Bay property as of Oct. 24, 2023, a wholly owned exploration project located 12 kilometres south-southwest of the town of Dryden in Ontario. The company has also entered into an asset purchase agreement dated Sept. 19, 2023, to acquire two unpatented mining claims in Ontario within the Contact Bay project (Anderson area) in exchange for the issuance of 100,000 common shares in the capital of the company.

Highlights:

  • Nabish Lake area -- confirmed economic Cu and Ni mineralization up to 1.9 per cent Cu and 0.4 per cent Ni across several kilometres of the Nabish Lake mafic-ultramafic intrusion;
  • New Cu mineralization area discovered;
  • Rognon mine area -- confirmed high-grade gold mineralization across two km potential shear zone;
  • Package expansion (Anderson claims);
  • All areas easily accessible with year-round access.

"We are very excited about the economic Cu-Ni and Au targets in close proximity to Kinross Gold, a major mining company. Our 2023 field program at Contact Bay has been a great success.

"These are fantastic results on our property, and we look forward to geophysical and geological modelling interpretations from Mira Geoscience to complement our successful field program in the near future.

"We are eager to systematically explore base and precious metal potential on this property and communicate a clear path forward in the near term," commented Peter Schloo, president, chief executive officer and director.

Nabish Lake area (Cu-Ni-PGE target area)

Field observations and historical results indicate potential for Cu-Ni-PGE (copper-nickel-platinum group elements) type mineralization over several kilometres of Nabish Lake mafic-ultramafic intrusion. Significant chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, magnetite and pyrite mineralization are associated with an ultramafic mafic-ultramafic intrusion.

Two thousand twenty-three field program results are shown in a figure in the original version of this news release. Out of 25 samples taken, seven return anomalous to economic grade Cu mineralization and five samples returned anomalous to economic grade Ni mineralization.

New mineralization area grabs returning up to 0.20 per cent copper will be an area of interest in future programs.

Rognon mine area (Au target area)

Shear zone/quartz vein hosted lode gold type mineralization targeted by historic workings over an approximately two-kilometre strike length. Three historic mine shafts, numerous pits, and trenches and tailings were located by the field team (Contact Bay mine, Rognon mine and Wachman mine). Samples taken along strike confirm historical results and are summarized in the figure available in the original version of this release.

A total of 12 grab samples were collected from this area, and 10 out of 12 samples hosted anomalous gold up to 3.86g /t Au.

Anderson area

Exploration at this site has previously located multiple historic workings of over 350 metres of exposed shear zone hosted quartz veining. Shearing is associated with the geological contact between mafic volcanic and ultramafic rock. Significant sulfide mineralization (pyrite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite) and hydrothermal alteration minerals have been identified at both locations. Historical assays from trenches and pits on Anderson claims include 0.11, 0.12, 0.14, 0.15 and 0.26 ounce gold per ton.

Two thousand twenty-three field program assays results support historical results up to 0.8 g/t Au, as shown in the figure in the original version of this release.

The company has entered into a proposed acquisition of two mining claims in the Anderson area. The anticipated closing of the transaction is expected to occur on Tuesday, Oct. 31, 2023.
