Executive Summary

  • Hemlo Mining Corp. has announced high-grade gold intercepts from its newly identified South-Rim Zone, a structurally controlled mineralized domain located adjacent to active mining in the C-Zone.
  • The results are part of a massive 130,000-metre 2026 exploration drilling program designed to drive resource growth and extend mine life at the Hemlo Gold Mine.
  • Initial drilling confirms a high-grade system within regional metasediments with significant potential for near-term, low-capital resource conversion due to its proximity to existing underground infrastructure.

Key Details

Drill Intercepts (South-Rim Zone): * Hole 765/2606: 16.07 g/t Au over 8.1 metres (including 59.67 g/t Au over 2.0 metres) * Hole 765/2603: 5.79 g/t Au over 11.0 metres (including 38.40 g/t Au over 0.9 metres) * Hole 765/2604: 6.04 g/t Au over 4.8 metres (including 36.20 g/t Au over 0.6 metres) * Hole 765/2605: 8.05 g/t Au over 4.3 metres (including 21.90 g/t Au over 0.8 metres) * Hole 765/2607: 3.44 g/t Au over 5.7 metres (including 22.80 g/t Au over 0.4 metres)

2026 Drilling Program Overview: * Total Program Scale: 130,000 metres total drilling commitment. * Program Components: * 70,000 metres of Resource Conversion Drilling (targeting Inferred to Indicated upgrades). * 30,000 metres of High-Definition Drilling (to de-risk near-term mine plan). * 30,000 metres of Growth Drilling (testing new zones). * Progress to Date: Approximately 28,400 metres completed across all programs.

Geological & Operational Context: * The South-Rim Zone is a newly recognized domain located 50 to 150 metres from active mining in the C-Zone. * Reinterpretation reveals a plunge-controlled system extending over 1.5 kilometres vertically within a ~300-metre-wide east-west corridor. * The mineralization is hosted within regional metasediments and represents a significant, previously underexplored source of near-mine gold.

Corporate Update: * Hemlo Mining has engaged ICP Securities Inc. to provide automated market-making services. * The agreement involves a monthly fee of C$7,500 (plus taxes) for an initial four-month term.

Notable Quotes

Jason Kosec, President, CEO & Director of Hemlo Mining: "Initial results from South-Rim highlight the strength of our exploration team, who have reinterpreted decades of data to define a high-grade mineralized structure now being confirmed by drilling. South-Rim is particularly compelling given its proximity to existing underground infrastructure, supporting low-capital resource conversion. This reinforces our view that Hemlo remains highly prospective, even after forty years of production."
