Hemlo Explorers Intersects a Contiguous Gold Bearing Horizon over 400 metre Strike


TORONTO, July 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hemlo Explorers Inc. (the "Company") (TSXV: HMLO) is pleased to provide an update on its drill program at the North Limb project, located 15 km north of the Hemlo Mine near Manitouwadge, Ontario.

Highlights:

Re-coding of historic drillhole lithology units, ICP analysis and oriented core measurements have been integral in interpreting the contiguous gold bearing felsic horizons over a strike length of 400 metres at North Limb for the first time since drilling began in the project area in the 1960's. In late May, the drill program was paused after 7,891 metres of coring from eighteen drillholes in order for sample assays to catch-up. To date, the Company awaits gold and ICP assays for more than 30% and 45%, respectively of the samples submitted with continued interpretation and field mapping of favourable areas for gold enrichment.

"We are very encouraged by the first five drillholes, in particular with the apparent correlation of the contiguous gold bearing felsic horizons over a 400 metre strike length and to a vertical depth of 600 metres," stated Brian Howlett, CEO of Hemlo Explorers. "Many assays remain pending, and once results have been received and compiled, we will be in a better position to interpret the potential and plan additional follow-up drilling. A surface mapping program is currently underway to assist with this interpretation."

Note: Assay results reported over intersection length. Additional drilling is required to estimate the true width of the mineralized structures.

The North Limb geological setting resembles that of the Hemlo Deposit currently being mined by Barrick Gold Corp. with felsic to intermediate volcanic and sedimentary assemblages, quartz-feldspar intrusives in a district scale, high strain arcuate structural regime. Similar alteration of silica, sericite, feldspar and vanadium to that of the Hemlo Deposit is found with anomalous gold along the Armand and Musher Horizons which have strike lengths of 7 and 8 kilometres, respectively.

Covid-19 Protocol

Covid-19 continues to pose risks to the economy and Company's operation. Management confirms that it is so far unaffected by the situation and continues its program unhindered as mineral exploration is still considered an essential service by the Provincial Government. Management of the Company is working with our contractors to ensure strict adherence to appropriate safety protocols to safeguard the health and well being of all our employees and contractors.
