Harvest Gold Identifies Significant AU-AG-CU Halo Associated With The Structural / Magnetic Feature On Mosseau
Harvest Gold finds smoke but no fire as maiden Mosseau drill program concludes with broad low-grade halos
The news release dated January 8, 2026, reports the final batch of assay results from the maiden 21-hole diamond drill program (4,692 meters) at the Mosseau property in Quebec. The results identify a broad "halo" of low-grade gold (Au), silver (Ag), and copper (Cu) mineralization. Notable intercepts include Hole MO-25-21 (2.4 g/t Au over 1.4m) and Hole MO-25-20 (0.21 g/t Au over 13.5m). Management interprets these results as evidence of a "regionally extensive and significant gold system" within a structural dilation zone southeast of the Morono deposit.
The impact is routine and only mildly positive. While the company has confirmed the presence of a mineralized system, the grades reported in this latest batch are sub-economic for a typical Abitibi greenstone belt exploration project. - Grade Deficiency: Most intercepts are below 0.5 g/t Au. While wide halos (13.5m and 19.0m) are geologically interesting, they lack the high-grade "discovery" core needed to re-rate a junior explorer. - Comparison to Expectations: The first batch of results (Nov 2025) was stronger (e.g., 1.9 g/t over 5.4m). This second batch indicates that the system may be getting weaker or more diffused in the northern/dilation areas. - Market Reception: The stock has retreated from its June 2025 highs of $0.14 to the $0.06 level, suggesting the market had already priced in a more significant discovery than what has materialized.
Harvest Gold is focused on the Urban-Barry Greenstone Belt in Quebec. Its flagship project is the Mosseau Gold Project, which it is currently optioning from Vior Inc. The property is located near the Windfall gold deposit. The primary target is the Kiask River Mineralized Corridor, a 21km strike length structure.
