Multiple high-grade gold vein systems channel sampled at Drayton-Black Lake

Heritage Mining Ltd. (CSE:HML) (" Heritage " or the " Company ") is pleased to report the completion of the 2022 field program at the Company's 15,257 Ha Drayton-Black Lake Project (" DBL" ). DBL is located approximately 20 km northeast of Sioux Lookout, Ontario (Fig. 1) and covers 30 km of the Central Volcanic and Southern Sedimentary domains within the Eagle-Wabigoon-Manitou (" EWM ") Greenstone Belt, which also hosts Treasury Metals Inc.'s Goliath Gold-Silver Complex immediately to the southwest. This year's exploration program included property-wide MagEM airborne geophysical surveying, regional mapping, prospecting and sampling in addition to the recently completed channel sampling work

  • "Hi Grade Showing" - Five (5) samples collected, assays pending

    • Field confirmed the 6-meter-wide zone with multiple cm-scale quartz-carbonate veins that was historically sampled

    • Conecho Mines Ltd's 1951 report indicates "samples with no visible gold reported up to 1.52 oz (or 47.3g/t gold) and a grab sample with pin-point size visible gold reported 4.40 oz (or 136.8g/t gold), refer to Assessment file 52G13NW0039

Peter Schloo, CEO of Heritage Mining commented, "Our first pass field program at Drayton-Black Lake Project confirms the area is a highly prospective, yet significantly underexplored mineral district. Our systematic boots on the ground exploration philosophy has been highly successful, with the team discovering multiple new veins and extending known vein systems along strike.  Multiple meter-scale quartz veins and quartz stockwork zones reported high grade gold assays in rock grabs from Alcona-Main (58.1 g/t Au), Alcona-New Millennium ( 46.5 g/t Au ) and Moretti ( 208.0 g/t Au ) project areas (see Figure 1).  To optimize our drill target prioritization, we recently completed systematic channel-sampling across these high-grade structures and look forward to reporting assays when received.  These initial results, along with the highly anticipated channel-sample data, will provide Heritage valuable information as we plan systematic follow up for the winter and into the 2023 exploration program."

Program Summary

The 2022 field program focused on characterizing known high-grade mineralization for the planned follow-up drill program (e.g., vein type, structural setting, alteration and mineralogical characteristics) and was successful in confirming numerous surface exposures of high-grade Au and Au-Ag mineralization throughout the property. This is the first time a systematic "belt-scale" approach has been undertaken in the Drayton-Black Lake area, building off a compilation of historic exploration program data sets, enhanced with new systematic mapping, sampling and multi-element geochemistry to develop multi-scale exploration vectors.

A recently completed channel sampling program included forty-eight individual channels) ranging from 1 to 18 m in length (average 3-5 m), see Figure 2.  In total, 323 samples (279 rocks and 44 QAQC samples) were submitted for Au + multi-element analysis. Samples were delivered to the lab in Thunder Bay in three batches. Outcrops were cleaned and mapped prior to marking for channel sampling. Channels were oriented to cross veins and deformed host rock and or oriented to cut dominant or distinct vein arrays or deformation/alteration exposures. Samples were marked at 1 m intervals (from start to end) and subdivided into 0.5 m intervals where single veins or discrete mineralization was noted. Where only partial samples (within marked metreage) were collected due to cover or poor ground conditions, a percent sample was noted. Sample weights averaged 3-5 kg. Blind field duplicates (where required by our Quality Management System) were prepared by collecting an individual sample, bagging, mixing and splitting the sample to provide two equal (by weight) sub-samples for that interval.

Several significant relationships (e.g., high Ag and Te tenors) and new prospect areas were recognized and these data will be used to improve exploration vectors as the Company advances the Property. Our work has confirmed that DBL contains an extensive, shallow, high-grade Au (+Au-Ag), structurally controlled mineral system that includes many untested high-grade prospects (e.g., New Millennium) and other prospects that have only seen limited drill-testing by previous operators (e.g., Alcona-Pond and Moretti Main). Several new prospects (Au >0.1 ppm) were also identified through regional prospecting and will be added the prospect pipeline for additional follow-up work.

Based on field observations and analytical results, the Company has noted the lack of visible gold (" VG ") in many samples with grades above 20-30 g/t Au. Preliminary multi-element analysis indicates a positive relationship between Au-Ag-Te. Therefore, to better understand the character of the high-grade Au mineralization and improve exploration vectors, the Company has initiated a deportment study for Alcona, Moretti and New Millennium. Six (6) samples have been sent to Actlabs in Dryden, Ontario for complete multi-element and QEMSCAN (Quantitative Evaluation of Materials by Scanning Electron Microscopy) analysis.

ABOUT THE DRAYTON-BLACK LAKE PROJECT

The Drayton-Black Lake Project is located near the town of Sioux Lookout in Northern Ontario and comprises more than 15,000 Ha within the Eagle-Wabigoon-Manitou ("EWM") Greenstone Belt along strike of and contiguous with Treasury Metals Inc.'s Goliath Gold-Silver Complex. There are numerous historic high-grade gold (silver, copper) prospects throughout the property within the Central Volcanic domain. All set within a broad multi-kilometer regional-scale deformation corridor with associated secondary and tertiary structural elements. Mineralization is typically shear-hosted quartz-carbonate veins with minor sulphides (1-5%). Locally, mineralized massive sulphide (Py +/- Cpy) occurrences have been documented. Some of the more sulphide rich Au + Au-Ag occurrences in the Southern Sedimentary domain have been notionally reclassified (e.g., Treasury Metal Goliath Deposit) as a hybrid or pre-orogenic atypical greenstone gold (POAGG).

Heritage employs a rigorous quality management system for field sampling and analysis. All samples and sample sites are described, photographed and geo-referenced and digitally archived at the time of sample collection. Material is securely bagged at the sample site and returned to the field office for secure storage. Sampled are delivered by Company personnel to the ALS laboratory in Thunder Bay, Ontario for prep. Samples are crushed (min. 1 kg) and pulverized (250 g; PREP-31A). Au values are determined by 50 g fire assay (Au-AA24), overlimit (Au) are treated with a gravimetric finish (Au-GRA22) and overlimit Ag are treated with acid digestion and ICP/FA finish (Ag-OG62). Multi-element analysis is provided by ICP-MS (ME-MS61). Blind duplicates, blanks and CRM (Certified Reference Materials) are inserted on a regular basis and p ulps and rejects are retained for check and duplicate analysis.

OUTCROP SILVER ANNOUNCES PARTNER FUNDED MAIDEN DRILL PROGRAM AT THE PEARL COPPER PROJECT, ARIZONA

Outcrop Silver & Gold Corporation (TSXV:OCG, OTCQX:OCGSF, DE:MRG) ("Outcrop Silver") is pleased to announce the commencement of the maiden drill program at the Pearl Copper Project located in Arizona United States . The drilling campaign will be fully funded by Golden Mile Resources Limited (ASX: G88), whereby Golden Mile is currently earning a 51% interest through funding this A$2 million maiden drill program. Outcrop Silver retained a 1% net smelter return (NSR) royalty.

Highlights

  • Outcrop Silver advances the Pearl Copper project through an earn-in agreement with Golden Mile Resources (ASX:G88). Program fully funded by Golden Mile .
  • The Pearl project is located in the prolific Laramide porphyry copper district, which is responsible for 70% of the United States of America's copper production.
  • All drilling permits secured from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Arizona State Land Department (ASLD).
  • The maiden drill program to test high-grade copper-silver-gold targets at the Odyssey and Ford prospects has commenced.

" Golden Mile's fully funded drill program moves Pearl forward at no cost to Outcrop Silver and exemplifies our strategy of unlocking value from non-core assets while we focus capital on expanding the high-grade Santa Ana silver project in Colombia ," stated Ian Harris , President & CEO of Outcrop Silver.

The Pearl Copper project is located in the Laramide porphyry copper district, one of the most prolific copper-producing regions globally, accounting for approximately 70% of U.S. copper production. The project sits immediately north of BHP's past-producing San Manuel-Kalamazoo Mine and along the trend with Capstone Copper's active Pinto Valley Mine, benefiting from exceptional infrastructure and a skilled local workforce.

Following the receipt of all required exploration permits, including the Notice of Intent (NOI) from the BLM and the Special Land Use Permit (SLUP) and Geologic Field Operation Plan (GFOP) from the ASLD, drilling has commenced. This maiden drill program consists of 14 to 16 reverse circulation (RC) holes totaling up to 1,800 metres, and will test two priority targets.

Transaction

On September 12, 2024 Golden Mile purchased an option on Pearl for A$100,000 (Australian Dollars) with Outcrop Silver retaining a 1% NSR royalty. Golden Mile has the option to earn-in to 51% by funding A$2,000,000 in exploration expenditures by September 12, 2027 . Golden Mile may also earn an additional 34% by funding an additional A$10,000,000 in exploration expenditures within 5 years. Upon completing the earn-in a joint venture will be formed with both parties funding proportionally. If either party dilutes below 10%, their interest will convert to an additional 1% NSR royalty. At such time that a JORC compliant resource achieves 750,000 tonnes of contained copper at a minimum grade of 0.3%, Golden Mile will pay Outcrop Silver A$2,000,000 .

The Pearl Copper project was acquired through the amalgamation with Zacapa Resources. Zacapa's portfolio also included the Kramer Hills brownfield oxide gold project in San Bernardino, California and the South Bullfrog, gold project in Beatty, Nevada adjacent to Anglo Gold's Silicon project.
