(CSE: HML FRA: Y66) (“Heritage” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce another confirmation of visible gold in core. This is outside the current internal model previously announced February 9 and 10, 2026, at the Melba Mine Project (“Melba”) with its ongoing diamond drill program. Fine grained visible gold has been identified in core, ML3840-001, at ~31m, significantly enhancing the exploration potential of the Melba Project. At least four identifications have been made thus far. The core is currently being logged and sampled. Melba Project – Multiple Fine Grain Visible Gold Figure 1: Multiple Fine Grain Visible Gold observed in Core ML3840-001, from ~31m “The identification of additional visible gold further enhances the exploration upside and positive potential of Melba this early in the initial exploration program. We look forward to additional updates in short order.” Commented, Peter Schloo, President, CEO and Director of Heritage. Melba, located ~22km northeast from Kirkland Lake and 90km southeast of Timmins in Northeastern Ontario, Canada. The project is comprised of ~3,886Ha.

The Company has identified at least four instances of very fine-grained gold mineralization within a shallow, previously unidentified zone. The gold occurs in sheared quartz veinlets within a silicified quartz diorite intrusion, accompanied by up to 3% pyrite across a 2-meter interval.
