Harvest Gold Receives IP Results from its 100% Owned Goathorn Property and Expands Goathorn to the Northeast

10.02.2022  |  The Newswire
Vancouver, Feb 10, 2022 - Harvest Gold Corp. (TSXV:HVG) (OTC:HVGDF) ("Harvest Gold", "Harvest" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received induced polarization ("IP") results for its 100% owned Au-Cu Goathorn Property located in central BC. The 23 km2 Goathorn Property comprises six contiguous mineral claims located 20 km southeast of Smithers, BC. with a nearby railroad, high voltage powerline and gas pipeline. Goathorn is located 15 km northwest of the Company's flagship property, Emerson.

Harvest Gold now has chargeability and resistivity inversions for the 11.3 line-km IP survey carried out on the Goathorn Property in September 2021. As well, the Company has extended the Goathorn Property to the northeast by acquiring an additional 5.24 km2 claim block. This new claim covers a historic IP survey from 2012.

Chargeability levels in the 2021 IP survey are roughly similar to those reported from the historic 2012 IP survey (Figure 1). The Company believes the chargeability anomalies in the two IP surveys indicate a single body of sulphide-bearing rocks over at least 5.3 km in length on the Goathorn Property. These sulphide-bearing rocks and the extensive magnetite skarn are interpreted to represent the cap above a major porphyry system.

Harvest Gold President and CEO, Rick Mark, stated: "Goathorn has been considered a key part of the Company's porphyry strategy. Today we are introducing the Goathorn Property to our shareholders and the market. Like our nearby Emerson project, Goathorn is road accessible and is located close to the power and transportation corridor of Highway 16 and the resource communities of Smithers and Houston, BC."

Henry Awmack, a member of Harvest Gold's Technical Advisory Board and property co-vendor, stated: "We staked the Goathorn Property because we suspected a buried porphyry deposit could be underlying the property. We did so based on several observations (Figure 2); a prominent bulls-eye magnetic high, later determined to be an extensive magnetite skarn; reported 1970's copper showings in British Columbia's Minfile database; and a reported chargeability high from a 2012 IP survey to the northeast, initially thought to represent a pyrite halo peripheral to our porphyry target.

Our mapping has shown there are several generations of porphyritic intrusions and more importantly, we discovered a copper mineralized porphyry dyke in a road-cut supporting our hypothesis that a porphyry system may be associated with the magnetic high. Sampling returned a high Au:Cu ratio of 1/3 (as calculated by g/t Au divided by percent Cu) and age dating of the dyke returned a 72 Ma age, placing it in the metal-rich Late Cretaceous intrusive suite hosting gold-rich deposits like New Prosperity and Blackwater. The occurrence lies in the vicinity of our chargeability anomaly but its low sulphide content (<2%) would negate it being the source of our chargeability anomaly which exceeds 20 mV/V beneath it."

The 2021 IP survey at Goathorn was designed as a reconnaissance test in the vicinity of the magnetite skarn and the copper-gold mineralized dykes. It was conducted along four southeasterly-trending lines spaced 400 m apart (Figure 1). Inversions at depths of 100-500m below surface reveal a northeasterly-trending chargeability high (>10 mV/V) ranging from 400m to >1300m wide and extending along the entire 1200m length of the IP grid.

Harvest Gold has extended the Goathorn Property to the northeast by acquiring a 5.24 km2 claim block (Figure 1). This new claim covers the historic IP survey with a reported 1400 m x 1800 m chargeability high (>10 mV/V) which is aligned with the chargeability anomaly revealed by Harvest Gold's 2021 IP survey. Harvest Gold has not verified the results of the historic IP survey.
