Mining in Ontario is big business. In 2021, Ontario’s mining industry produced roughly C$11.1 billion worth of minerals, accounting for 20 percent of Canada’s total production value. The importance of the mining industry has helped create a mining-friendly jurisdiction that understands the value of capitalizing on its natural resources. That’s why the Fraser Institute has ranked Ontario among the top 15 jurisdictions worldwide for investment attractiveness.
Additionally, the Canadian government is making a significant push to ramp up the production of critical minerals, including copper, lithium and aluminum. This push has resulted in more than 31 critical mineral projects in advanced exploration stages in Ontario,e paving the way for the development of a domestic supply chain for the country.
Heritage Mining (CSE:HML) is an exploration and development mining company with district-scale assets targeting gold and copper mineralizations within Ontario. The company’s flagship Drayton-Black Lake project is a strategically assembled district-scale project with encouraging bulk samples, high-grade gold intercepts and robust existing infrastructure. An experienced management team leads Heritage Mining with more than 100 years of combined experience working within the natural resources sector.The Drayton-Black Lake project is a district-scale asset with a rich history, but a single company has never operated the entire area. Instead, it was split up among different operators and has never received systematic exploration to determine its mineralizations' actual width and depth.
As a result, Heritage Mining is launching the first systematic exploration program that will identify promising deposits throughout the entire area of this historic region from a low-grade, high-tonnage perspective.
The company entered a definitive asset purchase agreement with Bounty Gold Corp. to acquire 50 mining claims in the Split Lake zone adjacent to Heritage's flagship Drayton-Black Lake project. Heritage will acquire a 100 percent interest in the Split Lake property in exchange for issuing Bounty 100,000 common shares.
“Relative to other projects in the area, we are very close to infrastructure. There is a paved highway through the property, all-weather logging roads, and well-maintained ATV roads. So it’s quite a bit different than other projects in Northern Ontario: there are no ice roads and we don’t have to fly in to do work,” CEO Peter Schloo stated in an interview.
The company also operates the Contact Bay project containing high-grade copper-nickel mineralizations. The 4,700-hectare land package is within an active mining area and has known gold, nickel and platinum-palladium mineralizations. While the Drayton-Black Lake project is the main focus, Contact Bay will expose the company to critical minerals.
Heritage Mining’s management team has a proven track record in the mining industry and has overseen transactions exceeding C$15 billion. In addition, the team has experience in corporate finance, administration and geology.
The 14,229-hectare project has undergone significant historical exploration, including more than 176 holes drilled, with high-grade gold and copper discoveries. The project is located in a mature mining district in Ontario, a jurisdiction known for its low geopolitical risk and mining-friendly government.
The Alcona Area has been approved for Phase II Drill Program to define its deposit potential.
The project covers 4,700 hectares and contains multiple high-grade copper-nickel and gold occurrences. Contact Bay is also located in Ontario andt is in the exploration phase, with targets identified for exploratory drilling.
Geophysical interpretation of the Contact Bay area along with findings from the 2023 prospecting program, suggest geological similarities to other Archean nickell-copper-PGE occurrences and deposits.

VANCOUVER, BC TheNewswire - July 17, 2024 Heritage Mining Ltd. (CSE: HML FRA:Y66) (" Heritage " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce that the Company has received a report entitled Orientation Survey for Spatiotemporal Geochemical Hydrocarbon Interpretation (" SGH "). The results of the report show a very positive correlation to existing gold mineralization on the property ( Alcona Area). Based on these positive results the Company will proceed in using SGH surveys to identify new targets as well as focus in on existing permitted drill target areas.
The Company is also pleased to announce SGH soil results are pending from Zone 3 and Zone 10.
Highlights:
The overall precision of the SGH analysis for the samples at the Alcona Area Soil Survey was excellent. Mineralization exists at these locations as a vertical projection beneath these anomalies (Figure 3).
The SGH confidence rating for the Alcona survey assigned to the anomalies averages 5.0 on a scale of 6.0. The rating for the Alcona Orientation Survey results indicates that there is a high probability that gold mineralization is present, thereby supporting a property wide survey.
Predicted Gold Mineralization (Figure 3) complemented by Halo anomaly illustrating possible presence of Redox Zone (Figure 4) an environment associated with gold mineralization.
Zone 3 SGH Soils results are expected within the next week (Figure 5).
"The results from the SGH survey are very encouraging. We have already incorporated the SGH sampling into our current program with results pending from Zone 3 (Figure 5) (results expected within the next week) and Zone 10 with additional priority target areas to follow. We believe this will be a key exploration tool to advance target areas to drill ready status while remaining efficient in capital deployment.
Furthermore, as mineralization in the area holds similar characteristics, we will also be incorporating this process into our non-core projects, Contact Bay and Scattergood.
We look forward to updating the market on further developments of our program in the very near future." Commented Peter Schloo, President CEO and Director of Heritage.
SGH – Overview

Map Legend (Figure 3 & 4)
The SGH Class maps are the plot of the sums of the particular hydrocarbon class in parts-per-trillion concentration. The dark blue areas of these maps represent very low or non-detect values or areas where no samples were taken. For plotting purposes the values at the Reporting Limit are plotted as one-half of this filtering, or one-half of 1.0 ppt. The hotter (Red to Purple) colours represent higher concentrations of the sum of the hydrocarbon class with the highest values being purple in colour. The lowest concentrations that may be at 0.5 ppt, are shown in blue.

Alcona
The Alcona Area had 88 samples collected on a square grid with sample spacing of approximately 25m. These samples were received by Actlabs and were sorted. After drying and subsequent sieving, the samples were analyzed in the Organics Laboratory. Samples were extracted and analyzed by Gas Chromatography coupled with Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). The data was processed and initial mapping completed. After review and interpretation, a second set of SGH Class maps was developed. The background SGH information, site interpretation and final maps were then entered into the SGH Interpretation Report. The overall precision of the SGH analysis for the samples at the Alcona Area Soil Survey was excellent as demonstrated by 6 samples taken from this survey which were used for laboratory replicate analysis and were randomized within the analytical run list. The average Coefficient of Variation (%CV) of the replicate results for the samples in this survey was 9.1% which represents an excellent level of analytical performance especially at such low parts-per-trillion concentrations.

Scattergood Project
The Scattergood Project straddles the lower segment of Wapageisi group volcanic rock and felsic intrusive bodies including the Taylor Lake Stock, Meggisi Pluton, and Scattergood Lake stock as well as numerous late stage minor intrusives. Structurally, the project is complex with the north-northeast trending Taylor Lake Fault and Trout River deformation zone running through parts of the property. There is evidence of hydrothermal fluids acting on volcanic rocks indicating an ideal environment for the formation of gold rich ore bodies. This combination of structural features and felsic intrusives within or nearby volcanic rocks are key features to many of the local gold occurrences.

Canadian Gold Corp. (TSXV: CGC) ("Canadian Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an exploration update on its 100% owned Hammond Reef South Project, located near Atikokan, Ontario, and adjacent to Agnico Eagle's fully permitted Hammond Reef Project (Fig. 1). Hammond Reef South was acquired in 2023 as part of the Company's strategy of acquiring prospective mineral rights around Canada's largest mines and development projects, which provides additional optionality for shareholders beyond the exploration drilling currently taking place at the Tartan Mine in Manitoba.
Highlights
Hammond Reef South Project
During June of this year, a field program was initiated on the property to evaluate the surface for gold mineralization. The program successfully identified a new high-grade gold zone with assays returning 35.4 gpt, 7.1 gpt, and 2.9 gpt gold (Table 1 & Fig. 2). The Hammond Reef South property is located only 2 km from Agnico Eagle's Hammond Reef Deposit, which contains a large mineral resource of more then 5 million ounces of gold and occurs in the same geological environment (Fig. 1).
Table 1. Hammond Reef South Surface Sample Highlights
Sample Number | Easting | Northing | Gold g/t |
473583 | 612360 | 5418397 | 35.4 |
473584 | 612356 | 5418401 | 7.1 |
473586 | 612358 | 5418405 | 2.9 |
Gold mineralization at the new zone occurs within a large gossanous shear-hosted quartz vein with up to 10% sulphides, mainly pyrite with accessory chalcopyrite and galena, discovered in the Northeast part of the property (Fig. 2). The vein was at least 2 metres in width and exposed for more than 10 metres along strike which remains open to the Northeast and Southwest. The strike of the vein, its mineralization and geological setting is analogous to Agnico Eagle's Hammond Reef Deposit to the north. Recent and historic surface samples are now revealing a very large 6.7 km trend of gold mineralization across the Hammond Reef South property representing a potentially significant discovery (Fig. 3).
A follow-up program has been scheduled, and will commence this week that aims to evaluate the length, width and distribution of grade at the discovery zone. The Company has also applied for the Ontario Junior Exploration Program grant, which, if accepted, would provide a 50% reimbursement for exploration expenses up to $200,000 for the project.
President and CEO Michael Swistun comments: "We are very excited with the discovery of high-grade gold on the Hammond Reef South property. We were prospecting the property looking for large, low-grade gold system like the Hammond Reef Deposit next door and this gives us a new and exciting opportunity to follow up on."

Proceeds of successful capital raising will help fund follow up work to refine drilling targets
Labyrinth Resources Limited (ASX: LRL) (‘Labyrinth’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to report highly promising gold and copper assays from soil sampling and rock chips at its Comet Vale Project in WA (see Figure 1).
More than 500 soil samples and 11 rock chip samples were collected. These results, combined with historic data, have defined several compelling drilling targets outside the mine area at Comet Vale.
In July 2024, Labyrinth entered into an option to acquire 100% of the property from Sand Queen Gold Mines Pty Ltd (‘SQGM’). The additional 49% interest has been the key to commencing dedicated exploration activity. Labyrinth intends to use some of the proceeds of its recent successful capital raising to undertake further exploration work with the aim of refining the targets ahead of a drilling campaign.
Figure 1. Regional location of Comet Vale Project.
Labyrinth Chief Executive Jennifer Neild said: “We have strategically positioned ourselves in the prolific Goldfields region of Western Australia, with proven gold assets that have the potential for further high-grade mineralisation.”
“These assays are indicative of this potential. We are seeing cohesive trends in both primary and associated indicator elements. The overlap of these anomalies have added weight to positions of interpreted faults and have established several high priority target areas.”
“We now have extensive data that Comet Vale may host a large mineralised system with areas of high-grade gold and potentially copper.”
Details of sampling results:
The two campaigns of soil sampling were the first full geochemical analysis completed at Comet Vale. On the eastern side of the highway, a small number of rock chips were taken to support mapping observations. Many of the higher grades exist around Long Tunnel Prospect, where shallow tungsten and gold workings exist. It is unknown the extent of activites, refer to Table 2 for a summary.

If you’ve been watching the gold space in recent years, you may know that the precious metal has appreciated in value by over 750 percent since 2000, when it was under US$300 per ounce.
Even when adjusting for inflation, the value of gold is still up a significant 350 percent over that period.
Given that fact, investors may want to turn their attention to investing in gold as a retirement plan. While there are pros and cons to using gold for retirement savings, many successful investors consider the metal a safe-haven investment.
This is due to gold's reputation for performing well during economic and political volatility. Additionally, gold tends to perform counter to the US dollar, meaning that when the dollar is weak, gold is often strong, and vice versa.
This means dedicating a portion of your retirement portfolio to precious metals could help hedge against inflation and dollar weakness. A 5 to 10 percent allocation is often recommended as a strong base.
But which options are right for you and your needs? Read on to find out about four ways you can invest in gold for retirement. From physical gold to gold exchange-traded funds and stocks to gold-backed assets, there are diverse options for those who choose to prepare for retirement with gold.
One of the first and perhaps most obvious gold investment options for your retirement portfolio is physical gold, typically purchased in the form of bullion coins or gold bars through a dealer. While that might sound simple, as with any investment, it’s important to do your research and make sure you’re using a reputable dealer.
Physical gold carries many benefits; it is a tangible, intrinsically valuable asset that can be sold when needed or when prices are high. However, as it doesn't provide a return, gold must be sold to make a profit.
If you choose to buy physical gold, you’ll also have to consider where you’re going to keep your gold bars, coins or bullion. You could keep it in your home, but most advisors would sway you away from that method because you’ll need space and a secure place to put it, such as a safe. These are potential issues for those looking to downsize for retirement.
Many investors opt instead for the security and ease of keeping their gold at a bank depository. This does add extra costs to your investment due to storage fees and means you do not have immediate access to your gold.
You can find information on investing in physical gold for your IRA, which comes with stricter regulations, below. To get more information about physical gold as an investment, check out our guide here.
For investors who want exposure to gold's price without owning physical gold, gold-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are an option to consider. Gold-backed ETFs are more accessible than physical gold as they are traded on stock exchanges and have a cheaper price per unit than an ounce of gold.
For North American and Australian investors, some options to consider are the SPDR Gold Trust ETF (ARCA:GLD), the iShares Gold Trust ETF (ARCA:IAU) and the BetaShares Gold Bullion ETF (ASX:QAU).
Investors with more risk appetite can look at ETFs that focus on major gold-mining companies, such as the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (ARCA:GDX), the VanEck Gold Miners AUD ETF (ASX:GDX) and the iShares MSCI Global Gold Miners ETF (NASDAQ:RING). These ETFs provide exposure to a basket of large gold stocks.
Individual gold stocks can also be an option when building a gold retirement portfolio, but they carry a higher level of risk compared to physical gold, as well as gold-focused ETFs.
Investors should consider focusing on dividend-paying, large-cap gold miners such as Newmont (TSX:NGT,NYSE:NEM), Agnico Eagle Mines (TSX:AEM,NYSE:AEM) and Barrick Gold (TSX:ABX,NYSE:GOLD).
Another option is large precious metals royalty and streaming companies, such as Wheaton Precious Metals (TSX:WPM,NYSE:WPM) and Franco-Nevada (TSX:FNV,NYSE:FNV); they also offer dividends.
Gold stocks can benefit investors who take the time to perform due diligence and sit down on a regular basis to determine whether their holdings continue to align with their wealth and savings strategy. For more on how to invest in gold stocks, check out these tips on resource investing from experts like Rick Rule, EB Tucker and Frank Holmes.
Finally, if you want to invest in gold for your retirement savings, you may want to consider investing in a gold-backed retirement fund. Options for American, Canadian and Australian investors are detailed below.
US investors can't invest in physical gold via 401(k)s or regular individual retirement accounts (IRAs); it is only an option through a self-directed IRA, which can contain non-traditional investments such as real estate and precious metals.
There are other details to be aware of as well. For instance, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) only allows at least 99.5 percent purity gold bullion bars and coins to be included in gold-backed IRAs, with the exception of American Eagle coins, which are 91.67 percent pure. Furthermore, gold used in gold-backed IRAs must be administered by an IRA custodian and stored at a location approved by the IRS — in other words, investors are not allowed to store this gold at their home.
For Canadians, tax-free savings accounts (TFSAs) and registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs) offer the ability to hold gold and silver, although they have similar purity and storage stipulations. Canadian investors have the option to choose between allocated and unallocated storage, meaning the precious metals they purchase can be kept separate or stored alongside other investors' gold and silver. The latter option can help save on storage and insurance costs.
Similar to the US system, Australian investors are not able to invest in physical gold through regular superannuation funds, but they can do so through a self-managed superannuation fund, or SMSF. One point to note is that gold and silver coins are classified as collectibles, a category with very strict regulations. However, SMSFs do not classify bullion as a collectible, and it can be stored in your home, making it much more flexible.
All in all, it seems that investing in gold for retirement is much the same as investing in gold in everyday life: diversification is key. While gold can be a part of your retirement portfolio, you should make sure to have balance and choose the options that are right for you. Allocating 5 to 10 percent of your portfolio to gold through a mix of the options above could help support your investments during difficult times and provide strong value in the long run.
For further help deciding the best approach for your individual needs, consult a financial advisor who can help guide your investments to make sure you are on the right road to retirement.
