VANCOUVER, BC, May 22, 2024 TheNewswire Heritage Mining Ltd. (CSE: HML FRA:Y66) (" Heritage " or theĀ " Company ") is pleased to announce the commencement of the 2024 exploration program at its flagship property Drayton Black Lake (" DBL "). The Company believes the progress achieved to date represents important milestones for systematic exploration in one of the last underdeveloped greenstone belts in Northwestern Ontario.

Ā  "We are excited to share the progress we are making at DBL, with emphasis on Zone 3 target area. A testament to the systematic exploration approach ahead of drilling. Zone 3, an area that has received no additional drilling since 1937, through 3D modelling is evidence to the potential of this project. The expansion along the gold-bearing Contact Zone 3 to Zone 10 opens up new opportunities for discovery. With boots on the ground and field activities in full swing, we are well-positioned to advance our exploration program and unlock the full potential of our properties." Ā  Commented Peter Schloo, President, CEO and Director of Heritage. Ā

Soil Sample - Spatiotemporal-Gas-Hydrocarbon type analysis (SGH)

Ā 

The orientation grid consisted of 88 samples taken at 25m spacing on a grid pattern. This survey targeted known mineralization at surface near the Alcona mine to determine the practicalityĀ of spatiotemporal-gas-hydrocarbon type analysis (SGH) in the local terrane. This will ensure the survey properly picks up on mineralizationĀ before initiating a property-wide survey later this summer.

Ā 

Ā  Diamond Drilling is set to commence no later than June 30, 2024. Ā 

Ā 

Ā  Property-wide Structural Interpretation & 3D Geology Model Ā 

Ā 

Ā  Structural Interpretation :

Ā 

Ā  The interpretation is heavily slanted toward the identification of favourable zones for hosting orogenic-style gold. The belt hosts geometries consistent with two major deformation events, mineralisation during either event is possible based on current information. Ā 

Ā 

Ā  First pass interpretation resulted in 20 zones of structural complexity with potential to host low mean stress sites applicable to both (Figure 9). Ā 

Ā 

Ā  "Gold mineralisation appears to be spatially coincident with the second-order sigmoidal, across-belt structures in the eastern end of the belt. In the west of the project area, the geometry of folded thrusts sitting at the end of, and possibly above, a major syntectonic granite pluton, has geometric affinities with the multi-million ounce Kanowna Belle gold deposit in Western Australia. Note that similar macroscale geometries to those inferred for the HML ground have been identified in Proterozoic and Archaean granite-greenstone belts globally and host world-class orogenic-style gold deposits, reinforcing the gold-discovery potential of HML's tenement package." Ā  Commented Dr. Brett Davis, Advisor to the Company

Ā 

Ā  3D Geological Model Ā 

Ā 

The Company has created the first ever property-wide 3D geological model (32km EW by 25km NW by 3km vertical extent) to model the property's historic database, which dates back to the early 1900s and totals over 28 kilometers of drilling to date. The modelling of the database will enhance the company's geological understanding of the property, providing new insights into styles of mineralization and their geologic controls. It is expected to unlock further targets to test in the Company's active 2024 program.

Vertex Minerals Limited  Reward Gold Mine Project Update

Vertex Minerals Limited Reward Gold Mine Project Update

Perth, Australia (ABN Newswire) - Vertex Minerals Limited (ASX:VTX,VTXXF) (OTCMKTS:VTXXF) is pleased to announce that the underground mining operation is on track to be producing high grade gold feed to the recently commissioned gravity gold plant in the coming weeks.

HIGHLIGHTS:

- Operational Milestones

o VTX remains firmly on track to commence production of high-grade ore from the underground mine in the forthcoming weeks.

o Transformer and cabling for the installation of 11kV high voltage underground power system on site with installation commenced.

o Preparations for the underground mine startup up progressing as planned and stripping of the main access is completed.

o New Aramine L350D has departed France for the journey to Hill End. Arrival in Orange NSW expected in by 26th August where it will be fitted with an RCT remote control system for open stoping operations.

o Mining the Reward Gold Mine - Resource 225kozs at 16.7g/t (VTX ASX Announcement 21 June 2023).

o Weekly Gold production Oz's from Stockpiles improving with depth in the stockpiles, with coarser particle size and better process throughput experienced.

- Mine start up

o Fan chambers have been excavated to provide secondary ventilation for production activities, exploration drilling and the future southern access toward the Fosters' exploration target.

o Primary ventilation fan has been installed and bulkhead completed.

o High voltage surface substation has been installed.

o High voltage cabling installation commences next week, with power up of the system scheduled for 28 July 2025.

o Stripping of the main accessis completed with the final elements of ground support (approx. 30m) to be completed before power cable installation starts next week.

o Cable bolts installed for the intersection of Lady Belmore exploration drive with first cut drilled out and ready to charge.

o Development Jumbo #1 (Epiroc T1D) is exceeding performance expectations.

o Dewatered of declines well underway.

o Mine schedule for FY26 finalised.

o First airleg stope secondary vent installed and specialty equipment on site to start first air leg stope.

o First long hole stope planned for August. High grade from airleg and longhole stopes to complement larger tonnage from development ore headings.

- People that have been onboarded

o 2x Drill Fitters and Heavy diesel fitter.

o Process superintendent commences next week.

o Full Tech team started including mine surveyor this week.

o Have back-to-back airleg miners for stoping.

o Full underground and mill crews.

- Improvements to plant

o DSM screen installed to improve product delivery to Wilfley Table.

o Gemini table improvements with new tabletop and gearbox improving final concentrate grade to over 20% gold (suitable for direct smelting to Dore on site).

o Process water pump upgrade improving ore washing and Tomra performance.

- Revised mine plan and schedule completed and ready to implement

- Updated Reward Gold mine mining plan and mine schedule completed.

- Adding a high-grade long hole stope upfront to be mined concurrently with the high grade airleg stope.

Vertex Director Declan Franzmann commented: "It is great to see all the elements of re-developing the underground mine and processing facility coming together so rapidly. The most pleasing aspect is our success in employing an incredible team of people to run the operation and all credit to management for developing great "esprit de corps" and a single sense of purpose as we push to full production."

As previously announced, the startup mine schedule includes mining 2,075 tonnes at 17.8 g/t Au from a developed airleg stope block. The planned stope width is the same as the interpretation of the mineralisation. (Refer to Table 1 in Appendices 1) (VTX ASX announcement 26/06/23).

Given this stope will take some time to extract, the Vertex geology and Mining Team have additionally brought forward a very high-grade long hole stope to commence mining in August as well. Further optimisations to the mining schedule will continue to be made.

This stope can be exploited as soon as services have been established. The mining crews have done a great job in the access drive to make room for the services (11kV cable, water and air lines) while improving accessibility for the mobile mining equipment selected for the Project.
