Harvest Gold Corporation (TSXV: HVG) has completed additional drilling at its Mosseau property in Quebec’s Abitibi region and outlined details of a new exploration campaign that will commence later this fall. The company also confirmed a temporary pause in its ongoing drill program to observe local cultural and environmental considerations.

Drilling Progress at Mosseau

In its latest update, Harvest Gold reported the completion of three additional drill holes totaling 654 metres in the central portion of the Mosseau property. To date, the company has drilled 14 holes for a cumulative total of 3,030 metres. The most recent holes targeted an area where previous prospecting and diamond drilling suggested significant potential for gold mineralization continuity.

Samples from these new holes are being sent for laboratory analysis as they are logged. Assay results from the initial drill holes are expected to be released within the coming weeks.

Harvest Gold has paused its drilling activities at Mosseau in recognition of several events observed locally, including the First Nations Cultural Week, Canada’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, and the fall hunting season.

Company President and CEO Rick Mark said that the decision reflects the company’s commitment to responsible and respectful development practices. “Harvest Gold is dedicated to advancing the Mosseau Project in a manner that is respectful of Indigenous traditions and community activities,” Mark said. “Temporarily halting our drill program at this time reflects our commitment to working collaboratively with our partners and shareholders.”

The Mosseau property is situated across both the Eeyou Istchee–James Bay and Abitibi territories and falls within Quebec hunting zones 13 and 16. With hunting season running from September 27 to October 26, the company expects to resume drilling operations in the central part of the property once the season concludes.

Fall 2025 Exploration Plans

Following the pause in drilling, Harvest Gold plans to begin its fall field exploration program, which will be conducted by IOS Geosciences of Chicoutimi, Quebec. The program will cover areas of both the Mosseau and the 100%-owned LaBelle properties.

The fieldwork is scheduled to begin on October 27 and will include soil sampling, mapping, and prospecting activities aimed at expanding geological knowledge and refining drill targets for upcoming campaigns.

The soil sampling component will involve the collection of more than 1,000 samples. Sampling lines will be spaced 200 metres apart and oriented perpendicular to the region’s known ice-flow direction, with samples taken every 25 metres along each line.

In addition to soil sampling, the company plans to carry out prospecting and geological mapping in underexplored areas of the Mosseau and LaBelle properties. This effort will build on recent high-resolution magnetic survey results and contribute to the identification of new targets for future drilling.

The Mosseau property is Harvest Gold’s flagship asset and forms part of its broader exploration portfolio in Quebec’s Urban Barry Belt. The company currently controls three projects in the area — Mosseau, Urban-Barry, and LaBelle — together comprising 377 claims over a total area of 20,016.87 hectares. These properties span more than 50 kilometres of favorable strike along mineralized shear zones and are located approximately 45 to 70 kilometres west of Gold Fields Limited’s Windfall deposit.

Harvest Gold has also reiterated its intention to maintain positive and transparent relationships with Indigenous communities in the region. The company acknowledges that the Mosseau property lies within both the Eeyou Istchee–James Bay and Abitibi territories and has emphasized that its exploration programs are being advanced with a focus on respect, collaboration, and open communication.
