(TheNewswire)

Vancouver B.C. - TheNewswire - June 19, 2019: Harvest Gold Corporation (“Harvest Gold” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: HVG), is pleased to announce that the Company and its JV partner Evrim Resources Corp. (“Evrim”) have signed a letter agreement (the “Agreement”) to extend the Cerro Cascaron agreement for a period of six months (the “Extension”). Under the terms of the Agreement, Harvest Gold and Evrim will renegotiate the terms of the Cerro Cascaron Agreement and search for a new gold or gold/silver project in Mexico.

During the Extension Evrim’s generative team will locate projects within prospective gold belts in northern Mexico that are aligned with Harvest Gold’s exploration strategy and plans. Evrim has agreed to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to acquire a new asset and negotiate option terms with Harvest Gold. Harvest Gold will also advance $55,000 to Evrim to cover all property maintenance payments at Cerro Cascaron.

Harvest Gold CEO Rick Mark states: “Evrim has been an excellent partner and we would like to continue the search for a gold deposit in Mexico with them. They are presently evaluating several new opportunities in Mexico and have agreed to discuss high potential properties with us with a view to Harvest financing a new project and carrying Cerro Cascaron in its property portfolio. Our maiden drill program at Cerro Cascaron taught us a great deal about its main gold vein field and demonstrated significant potential to discover a low to intermediate sulphidation epithermal gold deposit, specifically at the Serpiente Dorada and San Pedro areas. The Extension will allow Evrim to complete due diligence on a new project for Harvest while maintaining our interest in Cerro Cascaron, to which we have contributed over $1.25 million to date.”

About the Cerro Cascaron Project

The Cerro Cascaron property hosts a low to intermediate sulphidation epithermal gold system that includes a gold-bearing vein in the eastern part of the property. Veining has been mapped over 900 vertical metres, with classic textural evidence of hydrothermal boiling accompanying the highest gold grades. The proposed boiling zone has been established in the upper 380 metres of the vein field. Beneath the boiling zones, silver and base metal rich veins and breccias provide additional exploration targets.

Cerro Cascaron's setting and mineralization are similar to many epithermal deposits in the Sierra Madre Occidental, including Minera Frisco SAB's Ocampo Mine to the northwest, Coeur Mining Inc.’s Palmarejo mine, and First Majestic Silver's San Martin de Bolaños silver mine.
