Harvest Gold Corporation (TSXV: HVG) has announced the resumption of diamond drilling at its Mosseau property, located in Quebec’s Abitibi region within the Urban Barry Belt. The company confirmed that drilling activities are set to restart in the largely underexplored central portion of the property following the issuance of delayed exploration permits.

According to President and CEO Rick Mark, preparations are already underway in the central area, where roads are being cut through heavily wooded terrain that has seen little prior exploration. “The core drill is on its way and drilling is expected to begin tomorrow,” Mark said, emphasizing that the upcoming targets are situated in a new area on the eastern side of the Kiask River Mineralized Corridor, which has not yet been drilled.

Central Area Drilling Program

The company reported that the central portion of Mosseau has historically received less exploration attention and lacked basic infrastructure, such as access roads. Harvest Gold recently received its ATI (Authorization for Impact-Causing Exploration) permits, which had been delayed by nearly ten days.

With the permits now in place, the company is proceeding with the preparation of new drill access roads and construction of drill pads. Harvest Gold’s contract drilling partner, Forage Rouillier, has mobilized a flatbed truck to transport the drill rig to the first target site. Approximately 2,800 metres of the company’s ongoing 5,000-metre drill program have been allocated to this central section of Mosseau.

Assay Results and Lab Delays

Harvest Gold also provided an update on assay results from its earlier drilling in the northern area of the property. The company said that results have taken longer than anticipated to process due to seasonal backlogs at assay laboratories. As Quebec’s summer field season concludes, labs are handling a surge in samples from prospecting, soil, and drill programs. The first results from the northern holes are expected to be released shortly.

Fall 2025 Fieldwork and Sampling

In addition to drilling activities, the company’s fall exploration program continues across multiple project areas. IOS Geosciences has completed prospecting and mapping work in the southern part of Mosseau as well as at the Labelle property. Four field crews are now conducting soil sampling in these areas, and this phase of the program is expected to conclude by the end of the week.

Property Overview and Regional Context

Harvest Gold’s exploration efforts are centered on the Mosseau property, its flagship asset in the Urban Barry region of Quebec. The company holds three active gold projects in the area — Mosseau, Urban-Barry, and LaBelle — covering a total of 377 claims over 20,016.87 hectares. These properties collectively span more than 50 kilometres of favorable strike length along mineralized shear zones and are located approximately 45 to 70 kilometres west of Gold Fields Limited’s Windfall deposit.

The company also noted that the Mosseau Gold Project lies across the Eeyou Istchee-James Bay and Abitibi territories. Harvest Gold reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining respectful and transparent relationships with local Indigenous communities as exploration progresses.
