Harvest Gold Provides Update To Shareholders
Harvest delays Mosseau drilling due to Indigenous negotiations and driller availability, highlighting project execution risks.
Harvest Gold Corp. issued an operational update on October 5, 2026, confirming that drilling at its flagship Mosseau property has been delayed. The company attributes the hold to ongoing negotiations with the Lac Simon First Nation and difficulties in securing a drilling contractor.
Two agreements with the Band Council, previously targeted for mid-August and mid-September 2026, remain incomplete. This delay impacts the planned winter drilling schedule, which was initially targeted to commence on October 5, 2026.
Despite the setback, Harvest Gold states it holds valid government permits, including an Authorization to Initiate Work and a forestry permit, and is fully funded for the upcoming program.
Harvest Gold Corp. (HVG) issued an update on October 5, serving as a direct follow-up to its August 12, 2026 release. That earlier announcement had already signaled a delay to October 5, citing Indigenous negotiations and driller availability as the primary causes. The new update confirms that these anticipated delays have persisted, with negotiations progressing slower than expected and no driller secured.
The company remains fully funded, but the postponement delays the primary catalyst of drill results that could impact the stock. No new financial obligations or strategic shifts are introduced.
Harvest Gold Corp. is a pre-revenue junior exploration company focused on gold and polymetallic deposits in Quebec's Abitibi region. Its flagship Mosseau property spans 147 claims, totaling 7,265.88 hectares, and hosts the Kiask River Mineralized Corridor, a 17.7 km gold-bearing structure. The company’s 2025 maiden drill program intersected high-grade gold, including 105.0 g/t Au over 1.15 m, and identified broad Au-Ag-Cu halos in the northern dilation zone.
Harvest Gold also controls the LaBelle and Urban-Barry properties, expanding its land package to over 50 km of strike length in the highly prospective Urban Barry Greenstone Belt. The company is in the exploration stage, with no mineral resource estimates or economic studies completed.
