[{"type":"text","content":"VANCOUVER, BC, March 12, 2026 – TheNewswire – Heritage Mining Ltd. (CSE: HML FRA: Y66) (“Heritage” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce confirmation of more Visible Gold in Core in sampled Diamond Drill hole ML3840-003 from 72.40m within an approximate ~8m shear zone at the Melba Mine Project (“Melba”) with its ongoing diamond drill program (Figure 1,2). Melba Project – Visible Gold Figure 1: ML3840-003 at 72.40m, visible gold at millimeter scale “The identification of the third instance of visible gold within an ~8m shear zone at ~72m depth is very encouraging. We have also extended the planned depth of ML3840-003 to ~150m due to favourable mineralization, assays pending. We look forward to updating our stakeholders on additional exploration results in short order.” Commented Peter Schloo, President, CEO and Director of Heritage. Figure 2: Visible Gold in ML3840-003 and Melba Mine Cross Section Visible Gold noted in core comprising of millimeter scale gold grains hosted in a sheared quartz veinlet within an ~ 8m interval that exhibits synformal folding and strong epidote-silica-chlorite alteration. The target zone is a sheared felsic volcaniclastic and conglomerate contact. Melba, located ~22km northeast from Kirkland Lake and 90km southeast of Timmins in Northeastern Ontario, Canada. The project is comprised of ~3,886Ha. Melba lies along the Ross Fault, which is a splay off of the Porcupine-Destor Fault Zone and is associated with development stage and historic producing gold mines: McEwen Mine (Grey Fox Mine, +1Moz Au) ~22km away, and the Ross Mine (+1Moz Au) ~16km away. Technical Program Heritage Mining adheres to a strict QA/QC protocol for handling, sampling, sample transportation and analyses. Chain-of-custody protocols are designed to ensure security of samples until their delivery at the laboratory. Drill core was boxed, covered and sealed at the drill rig site. Core boxes were labelled with the official drillhole name and identified in numerical sequence starting from beginning of the hole to the end. Wooden blocks with the corresponding down hole meterage were inserted after every drill run. Drill core boxes were transported by drilling contactors to the onsite logging facility where Company personnel would take over the core handling.
