Hemlo Mining Corp. reported further assay results from drilling at the South-Rim Zone of its Hemlo Gold Mine near Marathon, Ontario, including 89.89 g/t Au over 3.0 metres, 14.81 g/t Au over 10.0 metres and 12.97 g/t Au over 7.0 metres. The 2026 program has identified approximately 500 metres of high-grade mineralization within the interpreted 1.5-kilometre zone, with about 1 kilometre still to be tested. South-Rim is located 50 to 150 metres from active C-Zone mining and existing underground infrastructure, which the company says could support near-term, low-capital resource growth. Results from 2026 South-Rim drilling were not included in the June 2026 Updated Mineral Resource Estimate and are expected to support future growth. Hemlo Mining has expanded the program to include Conversion drilling (infill drilling intended to improve resource confidence), with deeper drilling planned for the fourth quarter of 2026 and further work continuing into 2027. The company also appointed Martin Rioux as Vice President, Human Resources, effective immediately.
