Drill Lease and In-House Drilling Team
Heritage has leased an ODR 100 Drill (Figure 1) and engaged Minotaur Drilling Inc. as drill operators with over 35 years of experience. Past drilling experience includes contracts at Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting in Flin Flon and Snow Lake, Rio Tinto, Nutrien, Mosaic, Placer Dome, Cogema, Cameco, as well as numerous smaller public and privately funded companies. The majority of the experience (+20 years) has been primarily in the greenstone regions of Northern Manitoba, Northern Ontario and Northern Saskatchewan.
The Company looks forward to creating material efficiencies on a go forward basis under this arrangement towards and not limited to its Ontario Project Portfolio. The drill comes complete with all-weather equipment set up.

Brett Davis (Olinda Gold Pty Ltd), Advisor to Heritage Commented " The field and core review identified Zone 3 as having the best gold discovery potential. As we continue to analyze the data and refine our exploration approach, it's clear that the Drayton-Black Lake project holds significant potential. The recent identification of new areas provides the possibility of more widespread mineralisation in the Heritage tenements away from the orogenic lodes in the volcanics that have been the traditional focus of exploration . I'm eager to see how the next phases of exploration unfold and look forward to working with the Heritage Team"
Kevin Holmgren, Head of Drilling Operations at Heritage Commented "As someone with over 37 years of drilling experience across some of the most prolific mining regions, I'm thrilled to bring my expertise to Heritage Mining's exploration efforts. The greenstone belts of Northern Ontario hold exceptional promise, and with the team's strategic focus and advanced drilling capabilities, we're poised to uncover significant mineral potential. It's an exciting time to be part of this journey."
Peter Schloo, President CEO and Director Commented "The lease of the ODR 100 drill and our collaboration with Minotaur Drilling Inc. signify a key milestone in our exploration strategy. This step allows us to conduct efficient, year-round drilling, on our schedule, as we advance our Ontario Project Portfolio. Guided by the invaluable insights of our experts, Brett Davis and Dr. Gregg Morrison, we are well-positioned to unlock the full potential of this underexplored region. Their expertise, combined with our enhanced capabilities, marks an exciting chapter in the Company's history.
We look forward to share updates on our exploration progress in the near future. With a packed schedule to close out 2024 and a promising start to the new year on the horizon, the months ahead are shaping up to be both busy and rewarding."
