Harvest Gold outlines targets at LaBelle

HVG · Price

Executive Summary

  • Harvest Gold Corp. released results from its fall 2025 soil geochemistry program at the 100%-owned LaBelle project, identifying strong gold-in-soil anomalies and new drill targets along the Kiask River deformation corridor.
  • The program defined two distinctive, high-grade gold targets with Z-scores exceeding the 98th percentile, including a peak anomaly of 448 ppb Au (Z-score 23.7), coinciding with massive sulphides and favorable geology.
  • These results expand the known mineralized system, connecting the LaBelle property to the adjacent Mosseau property and highlighting the broader potential of the combined land package for future drilling.

Key Details

  • Project Location & Context: LaBelle project is 100% owned, covering 9 km of strike in the Urban-Barry greenstone belt. It is now connected to the Mosseau property via recent acquisitions and represents the southeastern extension of the ~33 km Kiask River deformation corridor (KRDC).
  • Sampling Methodology:
    • Conducted by IOS Services Geoscientifiques in October 2025.
    • 261 soil samples collected over an area of 3.3 km x 1.6 km.
    • Sample spacing: Lines at 200m spacing perpendicular to ice flow; stations every 25m.
    • Analysis: Gold and multielement package (Ag, Cu, Bi) via Aqua Regia digestion and ICP-MS at Activation Laboratories.
  • Key Geochemical Anomalies:
    • Highest Gold Anomaly: Z-score of 23.7, corresponding to 448 parts per billion (ppb) Au.
    • Second Strongest Anomaly: Z-score of 16.2, corresponding to 306 ppb Au.
    • Background Mean: Less than 1 ppb Au.
    • Pathfinder Elements: Defined two Ag, three Cu, and one Bi anomalous target areas, considered excellent gold pathfinders based on recent Mosseau drilling.
  • Target Definition:
    • Anomalies are aligned within the regional Kiask River deformation corridor, which hosts the Morono deposit and Mosseau property.
    • Several clustered soil anomalies coincide with massive sulphides and favorable geology, generating compelling new drill targets.
    • One strong anomaly is located several hundred meters from historical drill holes (1965 Sulico Mines) that reported massive sulphides (>10% magnetite) and historical assays of 2.74 g/t Au over 0.46 m.
  • Regional Correlation:
    • Results are located within a similar magnetic domain and geological strike as a recent Harvest Gold discovery 13.5 km northwest, which intersected 105 g/t Au over 1.15 m.
    • Nearby Lac Labrie showing (2.6 km NW) reported grab samples of 48.8 g/t Au and shallow drilling intersected 47.32 g/t Au over 0.3 m.
  • Company Statement: CEO Rick Mark noted that the results provide evidence of the broader potential of the combined properties, highlighting that the mineralizing system extends beyond known showings and increases the probability of additional discoveries.

Notable Quotes

  • "These soil geochemistry results provide more evidence as to the broader potential of our now-combined properties. The newly identified gold anomalies at LaBelle demonstrate that the mineralizing system extends beyond the known showings and highlights more compelling targets for drilling and follow-up work. We believe these geochemical signatures elevates the significance of our recent land acquisitions as it increases the probability of making and owning additional discoveries along this highly prospective corridor." — Rick Mark, President and CEO
