[{"type":"text","content":" TORONTO, May 14, 2026 /CNW/ - Hemlo Mining Corp. (TSXV: HMMC) (OTCQX: HMMCF) (\"Hemlo Mining\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce results from its 130,000-metre 2026 drilling program designed to support future mineral resource growth across the Hemlo Gold Mine (\"Hemlo\" or the \"Mine\"), located near Marathon, Ontario, Canada. Initial assay results from the South-Rim Zone (\"South-Rim\") support the definition of a newly recognized, high-grade mineralized domain at Hemlo, with strong potential for near-term, low-capital resource growth. South-Rim drilling forms part of the Growth component of the Company's 2026 exploration drilling program and was identified as one of four priority growth targets in the January 2026 announcement. The drilling aims to confirm new mineralized structures within the regional metasediments and, given their proximity to the active C-Zone mining front, potentially add low-capital resources to the near-term mine plan. Highlights: South-Rim is a newly defined, structurally controlled mineralized domain hosted within the regional metasediments, located immediately adjacent to active mining in C-Zone. Reinterpretation defines a plunge-controlled system extending more than 1.5 kilometres vertically within a ~300-metre-wide east-west corridor, opening a new exploration domain across the Hemlo mine extension. The first 7 of 20 holes planned for South-Rim confirm mineralization, validating a high-grade system within the regional metasediments (see Figures 1-3 for drilling overviews and Table 1 for detailed results): Hole 7652606 intersected 16.07 g/t Au over 8.1 metres, including 59.7 g/t Au over 2.0 metres. Hole 7652603 intersected 5.79 g/t Au over 11.0 metres, including 38.4 g/t Au over 0.9 metres. Hole 7652604 intersected 6.04 g/t Au over 4.8 metres, including 36.20 g/t Au over 0.6 metres. South-Rim mineralization remains open along strike and down plunge. Historical exploration within the metasediment horizons at Hemlo was limited and the Company's new interpretation indicates these horizons may represent a significant and underexplored source of near-mine gold mineralization adjacent to existing infrastructure. Jason Kosec, President, CEO & Director of Hemlo Mining, commented: \"Initial results from South-Rim highlight the strength of our exploration team, who have reinterpreted decades of d...
