District-Scale Opportunities with Historically Promising Assets

Company Highlights

  • Heritage Mining is an exploration and development mining company with district-scale opportunities in Ontario, Canada, targeting gold and copper.
  • The company’s flagship project, the Drayton-Black Lake project, has strong historical results but has never been systematically explored from a low-grade, high-tonnage perspective.

​Overview

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.

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.
Regional Geologic Setting

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.

Key Projects

Drayton-Black Lake Project

Drayton-Black Lake Project

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.

Project Highlights:

  • Priority Zones Identified: Heritage Mining has identified four priority gold zones with multiple historic high-grade intersections that will guide future exploration programs. These zones are:
    • Moretti Zone - Samples up to 1,212 g/t gold
    • Split Lake Zone - 0.7 meters at 14.8 g/t gold
    • Shaft Zone - 2 meters at 14.5 g/t gold
    • West Zone - Up to 150.86 g/t gold
  • Over 100 Years of Historical Data: Exploration data from the past century is being compiled to create a greater understanding of the area that will rapidly advance the project by guiding future exploration decisions.
  • 2022 Field Program Completion: Exploration program included property-wide MagEM airborne geophysical surveying, regional mapping, prospecting and sampling in addition to the recently completed channel sampling work. Results from grab samples include:
    • up to 58.1 g/t gold at Main Prospect
    • up to 24.6 g/t gold at Pond Prospect
    • up to 46.5 g/t gold at New Millennium Prospect
    • up to 208 g/t gold at Moretti
    • up to 0.95 g/t gold at Black Lake
  • 2023 Drill Program Highlights: Completion of drill program validated and expanded the deformation corridor, now boasting an impressive ~200 meters width, 1 kilometer in strike length and a depth reaching at least 145 meters.
    • Alcona Area, HML23-007: 0.90 g/t gold over 10.15 meters from 104.75 meters
    • Moretti Area, HML23-012: 1.01 g/t gold over 5 meters from 105 meters

The Alcona Area has been approved for Phase II Drill Program to define its deposit potential.

Contact Bay Copper-Gold Project

Contact Bay Copper-Gold Project

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.

Project Highlights:

  • Promising Mineralization Styles: The asset contains a diverse range of mineralizations, including:
    • Northeast - Rock sample assayed 0.40 g/t gold and 0.7 percent copper, sheared and altered gabbro
    • Northeast – A 1.2-meter chip channel assayed 4.2 g/t Au
    • Platinum and Palladium values up to 0.28g/t
  • Priority Targets Identified: Heritage Minerals has three priority drill targets, each with high-grade historic drill intersections that warrant additional follow-up.
  • Impressive Geophysical Interpretation: Exciting highlights from exploration work include the interpretation defining two substantial mafic-ultramafic intrusive bodies with multiple nickel-copper-PGE (platinum group elements) target areas:
    • Nabish Lake Area: ~ 5 kilometers long, up to 1 kilometer wide, over 1 kilometer in depth)
    • North Nabish Lake Area: ~ 2 kilometers long, 1 kilometer wide, over 1 kilometer in depth

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.
