Heritage Mining completes $5,000 payment for Melba

Mr. Peter Schloo reports HERITAGE MINING PROVIDES EXPLORATION AND MELBA PROJECT UPDATE Further to Heritage Mining Ltd.'s news release dated July 22, 2025, it has completed the payment totalling $5,000 due after 30 days in relation to the Melba asset purchase agreement following a site visit. The company would also like inform stakeholders of multiple delay notifications from the assay lab due to technical difficulties over the last 30 days. The company would also like to inform stakeholders that all samples from the 2025 exploration program have been shipped to the assay lab as of Aug. 18, 2025, and the assay lab technical difficulties have been resolved. "The recent site visit to the Melba property, alongside a key stakeholder, left us impressed with the project's potential. Its proximity to world-class mines, strong infrastructure and a skilled local work force -- all within roughly 24 kilometres -- highlights its exceptional positioning. With our detailed desktop review nearing completion, we look forward to advancing toward closing the transaction in short order. "Across all three of our projects, Heritage has maintained a systematic exploration approach and each has delivered technical success to date. At the Drayton-Blake Lake project, Zone 3 extension target has intersected a broad vein system up to approximately 74 metres in core length (never before prospected or drilled), with potential strike length of more than four kilometres, returning anomalous gold values thus far. At the Contact Bay project, Rognon mine area -- directly bordering Kinross Gold Corp. -- has intersected the mineralized structure beneath the historic mine, an area never previously drilled, where visible gold has been observed in core. Meanwhile, at the Scattergood property, which is surrounded by active exploration programs from Dryden Gold, Dynasty Gold and NexGold, remains of interest as we await the finalized report from targeted prospecting program recently completed." Together, these results continue to validate our disciplined approach to exploration and underscore the strong potential across Heritage's portfolio," commented Peter Schloo, president, chief executive officer and director of Heritage Mining Ltd.
