(TheNewswire)

Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - June 19, 2024 ‑ Harvest Gold Corporation (TSXV: HVG) (“Harvest Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that it is in the final preparation stages for an extensive geochemical and prospecting program on its district scale, three property package in the Urban-Barry area of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, Quebec (see Figure 1).

Harvest Gold Senior Technical Consultant, Louis Martin, states: “A combination of basic exploration fundamentals for a property package of this size, including interpretation of recent airborne geophysics, detailed regional geochemistry and targeted ‘boots on the ground’ prospecting remain the best tools for finding a new deposit.”

At the Mosseau property, the Company is planning to use detailed soil geochemistry sampling, (see Figure 3), a rigorous prospecting and mapping program and regional till sampling. This detailed exploration work on Mosseau, in conjunction with historical information and recently completed magnetic interpretation will help define priority targets for a drill program this winter.

Prospecting and geological mapping are also planned for the Urban Barry and Labelle properties, with some till sampling also planned for Urban Barry. The Company has forwarded work tenders to several companies specializing in carrying out such geochemical programs.

Rick Mark, President and CEO of Harvest Gold commented: “We are employing tried and tested exploration techniques to systematically define immediate drill targets on Mosseau for the drill program planned this winter, as well as to advance our Urban Barry and Labelle projects to the target definition stage.”

Interpretation of the 2024 high-resolution airborne magnetic survey has identified several magnetic domains, some of which contain the majority of known gold showings (see Figure 2). This summer’s work will focus on soil surveys and prospecting over this favoured geological stratigraphy and magnetic features.
