Harfang and SOQUEM Extend Mineralized Trends at Menarik West, Quebec
Harfang’s channel sampling at Menarik West validates high-grade gold trends ahead of a planned 2027 drill program.
Harfang Exploration Inc. (HAR) and SOQUEM have confirmed and extended gold mineralization at the Adrian and Cox showings on the Menarik West Property in Quebec. The Adrian discovery trend has been extended approximately 200 metres along an east-northeast strike, with new grab samples returning up to 7.13 g/t Au.
The Cox showing received its first channel sample results, confirming a 250-metre long mineralized trend. Key intercepts include 0.88 g/t Au over 8.35 m (including 5.31 g/t Au over 0.91 m).
The summer 2026 program collected 212 rock samples, comprising 178 grab and 34 channel samples. Eleven samples returned greater than 1.0 g/t Au. Both trends coincide with strong Induced Polarization (IP) chargeability anomalies from a winter 2026 survey. Results are being integrated to finalize drill targets for a fully funded winter 2027 diamond drill campaign.
Harfang Exploration Inc. (HAR) has announced results that represent a logical progression of the high-grade surface discoveries made in late 2025, including 55.4 g/t Au at Merlin and 35 g/t Au at Cox. Channel sampling at Cox has validated the surface grab results and confirmed a continuous 250-metre trend.
The extension of the Adrian trend and the confirmation of the Cox trend strengthen the geological model and provide high-confidence targets for the upcoming winter 2027 drill program. This program is fully funded by partner SOQUEM, removing immediate capital risk for the project.
While the results are positive, they are incremental and expected follow-ups to prior surface work. They do not constitute a new discovery or a material change in the company's valuation profile. The market likely priced in the progression toward the 2027 drill program.
Harfang Exploration Inc. (HAR) is a Canadian junior exploration company focused on gold and critical minerals in Quebec and Ontario. Its flagship project is Menarik West in Quebec, which comprises 332 exclusive exploration rights covering 171 km². The project targets high-grade gold veins and intrusion-related systems and has recently entered a partnership with SOQUEM.
The company’s other assets include the Serpent project in Quebec, which covers 500 km² and targets lithium and copper-gold-silver (CSM) at the Mista target. In Ontario, Harfang holds the Sky Lake property, encompassing 9,081 hectares with high-grade gold targets at the Koval zone. The company also controls the Blakelock property, consisting of 11,000 hectares along the Casa Berardi deformation zone, and the Egan property, which covers 12,000 hectares with high-grade gold targets. All of Harfang’s projects are currently in the pre-discovery or exploration stages, and no mineral resources or reserves have been reported.
