Investment Insight
Harvest Gold offers investors a compelling opportunity to participate in early-stage exploration within Quebec’s prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt – home to some of Canada’s richest gold deposits – through three strategically located and 100 percent owned properties, with a flagship asset positioned for significant discovery upside.
Overview
Harvest Gold (TSXV:HVG) is a Canadian junior exploration company advancing a portfolio of 100 percent owned, highly prospective gold projects in Quebec’s world-renowned Abitibi Greenstone Belt. With more than 200 million ounces of historical gold production, the Abitibi is one of the richest gold-producing regions globally. Harvest Gold’s properties – Mousseau, Urban Barry and LaBelle – are strategically situated in and around the Urban Barry Greenstone Belt, a rapidly emerging gold camp that has become the focal point of aggressive exploration and investment by major players like Gold Fields and Osisko Mining.
The Urban Barry Belt is particularly significant: it hosts the high-grade, multi-million-ounce Windfall gold deposit, which was developed by Osisko Mining and recently purchased by Gold Fields, as well as Bonterra’s Gladiator and Barry deposits. In a belt where land is increasingly consolidated by majors, Harvest Gold controls three of the few remaining independent, district-scale land packages, representing a rare opportunity for investors to gain early exposure in an area with proven geological endowment and high-value acquisition potential. With road access, nearby infrastructure and recent forest fires having cleared ground for new exploration, the conditions are optimal for discovery.
The company's strategy is further strengthened by its highly experienced leadership and technical team. CEO Rick Mark brings more than 40 years of business and management experience and has overseen multiple resource companies through peak valuations for 25 years. The technical team includes industry veterans such as Louis Martin, a two-time AEMQ “Discovery of the Year” award winner, and Warren Bates, former VP exploration for Pelangio, who was instrumental in the Blackwater discovery. This team brings deep expertise in structural geology, Quebec-focused exploration, and mine development.

Key Projects
Mousseau Gold Project
The Mousseau gold project is Harvest Gold’s flagship asset, encompassing 193 claims across 9,735.6 hectares in the northern Abitibi Greenstone Belt of Quebec. Located just 15 kilometers east of Lebel-sur-Quévillon, the property benefits from year-round road accessibility, offering critical logistical and cost advantages for exploration. It lies immediately adjacent to claims held by Gold Fields and Cartier Resources to the north and near significant land packages staked by renowned prospector Shawn Ryan to the south, placing Mousseau in the heart of one of the most geologically fertile and active regions in Canada.
At the geological level, Mousseau straddles two major structural corridors: the Morono Shear Zone and the Kiask River Deformation Zone. Both zones exhibit classic characteristics of shear-hosted gold systems, including multiple stacked quartz-sericite shear zones with widths ranging from under one meter to over 30 meters. The property already boasts 49 significant surface gold showings and a historical, non-NI 43-101 compliant gold resource at the Morono zone. New geological mapping, combined with geophysics and geochemical sampling, confirms a large, mineralized system with excellent continuity along strike and at depth.
In 2024, Harvest Gold completed a comprehensive high-resolution airborne magnetic survey over the entire property, revealing a network of previously unrecognized structural features and magnetic domains. These insights were critical in refining drill targets, particularly in underexplored zones that were newly exposed following the 2023 wildfires. Initial compilation and fieldwork has already validated several new high-priority gold targets in both the northern (Morono) and central (Kiask River) zones of the property.
Highlights from historical and recent data include:
- High-grade gold intersections in both drill core and surface trenching, such as 93.02 grams per ton (g/t) gold over 0.6 metres and 27.79 g/t gold over 1.5 metres (Trench 1B)
- Shear zones at Morono display continuity of mineralization at depth, with intersections such as 4.42 g/t gold over 7.6 metres and 3.07 g/t gold over 4.11 metres
- Presence of associated copper and silver mineralization in some zones, indicating polymetallic exploration potential
The company’s 2025 exploration plan includes 5,000 meters of diamond drilling focused on these defined high-priority targets, with a fully scoped budget of $1 million, aiming to unlock the project's full potential as a large-scale, high-grade discovery.
Given its scale, geological architecture, infrastructure access and strategic neighbors, Mousseau is well-placed to evolve into a tier-one asset capable of attracting major partners or acquirers.
Urban Barry Property
Acquired from EGR Exploration, the Urban Barry property comprises 6,879 hectares located west of the Osisko/Gold Fields Windfall property. The project spans 20 km of favorable strike length and sits along the southern margin of the Urban Barry Greenstone Belt.
Key advantages:
- Analogous geological setting to Windfall and Gladiator
- Road-accessible with mapped deformation zones and quartz-vein hosted gold indicators
- 2024 magnetic surveys and fieldwork completed; drilling strategy is in development
LaBelle Project
Staked in 2024, LaBelle covers 3,394 hectares and represents a 9 km southeast extension of the Kiask River Fault. It mirrors the geological setting of Mousseau, with similar NW-SE oriented shear zones and structural contacts between the Wilson Pluton and volcanic sequences.
Though early-stage, LaBelle offers:
- District-scale exploration potential
- Proximity to Harvest’s other assets for operational synergy
- Favorable structural and lithological environment

Maritime Resources: A Low-risk Path to Gold Production in One of the World’s Top Mining Jurisdictions
Maritime Resources (TSXV:MAE) is a Canadian gold development company advancing the fully permitted, high-grade Hammerdown project in Newfoundland & Labrador’s prolific Baie Verte mining district. A past-producing asset, Hammerdown is shovel-ready and de-risked, with construction underway and first ore deliveries to the Pine Cove Mill anticipated between late summer and early fall 2025.
Hammerdown is uniquely positioned to capitalize on existing infrastructure, with close access to paved roads, power, ports, and Maritime’s wholly owned Pine Cove processing facility. Unlike many greenfield developers, Maritime is pursuing a low-capex, staged production strategy—leveraging its established infrastructure and skilled local workforce to reduce costs, mitigate risk, and fast-track value creation through near-term cash flow generation amid record-high gold prices.
Hammerdown project siteLooking ahead, Maritime Resources aims to establish a 100,000 oz/year production platform by integrating nearby deposits—including Orion, Stoger Tight, and Deer Cove—and reactivating its 700 tpd Nugget Pond gold plant. The company’s extensive regional land package spans over 435 sq km of highly prospective terrain, with strong potential for gold, VMS, and porphyry-style mineralization.
Company Highlights
- Near-term Gold Production: First production targeted for H2/2025 from the fully permitted Hammerdown open pit project.
- High-grade Gold Reserves: 1.9 Mt at 4.46 g/t gold (272 koz) proven and probable reserves support initial 35,000-45,000 oz/year production.
- Low-CAPEX Startup: Initial capital estimated at C$15 to $20 million, among the lowest in the sector for a new mine, leveraging Maritime’s fully operational Pine Cove mill
- Owned Processing Infrastructure: Pine Cove Mill (1,300 tpd, operational) and the Nugget Pond gold plant (700 tpd CIP circuit, on standby).
- Exploration Upside: 435 sq km land package includes multiple brownfield and greenfield targets proximal to infrastructure.
- Institutional Backing: Strong support from Dundee Corporation, Eric Sprott and other institutions.
- Fully Funded: recently closed $20 million hard dollar financing and $10 million private placement (live) to fund mine startup and repay the existing US$5 million note.
- Local Workforce Advantage: Fully staffed Pine Cove Mill with 100 percent local residents

Edward Gosselin, CEO and Director of Kobo commented: "Our latest drilling has outlined additional strong gold mineralization at the Road Cut Zone, highlighting its scale and the consistency of grades and widths we are seeing along strike and down dip. Importantly, these results build on our understanding of the structural setting at Kossou and will help guide how we advance the Road Cut Zone in parallel with the Jagger Zone, including the structural corridor between the two targets."
He continued: "With this phase of diamond drilling now complete, our team is focused on advancing a larger, systematic program to further define the Jagger, Road Cut and Contact Zones, test the potential connection of the gap between these Jagger and Road Cut Zones, and expand our footprint to new targets identified at the Jagger South area and the underexplored western portion of the permit. Based on the work completed to date, we remain confident in the scale and continuity of mineralization at Kossou and believe the project continues to demonstrate significant potential as we move towards the next phase of drilling and a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate."
Road Cut Zone Results
Results from six diamond drill holes at the Road Cut Zone have been received. Holes KDD0088 to KDD0090 were drilled on three sections (RCZ725 to RCZ775) (see Figure 1) to test gold mineralization associated with diamond drill hole KDD0056 , which previously returned 10.0 m at 4.57 g/t Au ( see press release dated January 30, 2025 ).
KDD0090 intersected two zones of strong gold mineralization: an upper intercept of 9.75 m at 1.69 g/t Au , including 1.0 m at 11.20 g/t Au , highlighting the high-grade nature of the cross-cutting V2 veins within the dominant northerly trending shear systems. The second intercept, 11.0 m at 2.88 g/t Au from 140.0 m, including 3.0 m at 8.25 g/t Au from 143.0 m, supports the continuity of high-grade mineralization within a previously identified structure (see Figure 2). Results from KDD0088 and KDD0089 , which returned 3.5 m at 2.33 g/t Au from 81.0 m, illustrate the variability of gold grades within the well-defined shear zones at the Road Cut Zone. These mineralised zones remain open at depth and will be targeted in future drilling.
A second set of holes, KDD0091 to KDD0093 (see Figure 3), targeted an area of artisanal mining previously trenched and sampled by the Company, which returned strong gold mineralization including trench KTR070 with 28.0 m at 4.44 g/t Au and trench KTR069 with 6.0 m at 2.50 g/t Au ( see press release dated December 5, 2023 ). Previous diamond drilling on this target also confirmed strong mineralization, including hole KDD0012 , which intersected 11.0 m at 1.71 g/t Au from 50.0 m ( see press release dated July 11, 2024 ).
All drill holes intersected significant gold mineralization, highlighted by KDD0091 , which returned 15.55 m at 2.30 g/t Au from 123.0 m, including 8.30 m at 3.43 g/t Au from 126.0 m. The mineralized zone is characterized by strong shearing within the basaltic host rocks, cross-cut by a series of V2 and V1 veins that are strongly altered and host gold mineralization that was consistent throughout the interval. This zones shows excellent continuity from surface down dip on the section RCZ500 (see Figure 4). Additional drilling is being planned to test these structures to the north and south along strike of shear zone and to depth.
Testing Structural Corridor Between Jagger and Road Cut Zones
One hole, KDD0087 , was drilled within the interpreted structural corridor between the Road Cut and Jagger Zones. The hole intersected a well-defined shear zone near surface but did not return significant gold mineralization. The presence of the shear structure provides further support for Kobo's geological interpretation in this area. Additional drilling is planned to continue assessing the potential structural linkages and mineralization continuity between these two high-priority targets.
Soil Geochemistry to Define Targets: South Jagger and Western Kossou Permit Area
The Company has extended detailed infill soil geochemistry across the South Jagger Zone, collecting 270 samples to date. Previous infill sampling on a 25 m by 25 m grid proved effective in defining drill-ready targets at the Road Cut, Jagger and Kadie Zones further north. The South Jagger soil anomaly, which consistently returned values up to 1000+ ppb Au, now extends over a distance greater than 2 km, reinforcing its potential for follow-up drilling.
In addition, recent soil geochemical surveying has outlined a new northwest-trending anomaly of over 400 m in the western portion of the Kossou Permit, with individual sample results returning values up to 1,380 ppb gold. These results further support systematic target definition and demonstrate the upside potential across less-explored portions of the permit.
Update on Regional Exploration: Kotobi Permit
At the Kotobi Permit, the Company has collected 1,942 soil samples to date, with additional results pending. Recent work has defined a 50+ ppb gold-in-soil anomaly extending over 400+ m of strike length, with individual samples returning between 370 ppb and 1,420 ppb Au. Follow-up pitting and trenching are currently underway to better define this anomaly and assess its potential for future exploration work.
Earn-In Agreement: NESDAVE MINING
Regional scale soil geochemical sampling is underway at the Akoboissue Permit (PR0970). Information meetings are underway with local village chiefs and elders with respect to the Annépé Permit (PR0973) and regional scale soil geochemical sampling is expected begin shortly.
Next Steps: Preparing for Expanded Drilling and maiden Mineral Resource Estimate at Kossou
With this current phase of drilling now complete, the Company's exploration and technical team is integrating the latest drill data into detailed geological models to refine its understanding of the structural controls at the Jagger and Road Cut Zones. This work will directly inform the Company's next major drill campaign, which is anticipated to comprise more than 15,000 m of additional diamond drilling and begin in H2 2025. This expanded program will prioritize systematic step-out and deeper drilling at the Jagger Zone to support preliminary resource modelling, continue expansion drilling at the Road Cut Zone, and follow up on the interpreted structural corridor between the two zones.
Further, the Company plans to advance the Contact Zone with targeted drilling based on structural mapping completed to date and begin testing new targets on the western side of the Kossou Permit, supported by recent soil geochemical results indicating a strong northwest-trending gold anomaly. This methodical approach is designed to build on the Company's drilling success to date, advance the potential for a future maiden Mineral Resource Estimate, and support the Company's broader strategy to unlock value within Côte d'Ivoire's highly prospective Birimian gold belt.

Sampling, QA/QC, and Analytical Procedures
Drill core was logged and sampled by Kobo personnel at site. Drill cores were sawn in half, with one half remaining in the core box and the other half secured into new plastic sample bags with sample number tickets. Core samples are drilled using HQ core barrels to below the level of oxidation and then reduced to NQ core barrels for the remainder of the bore hole. Samples are transported to the SGS Côte d'Ivoire facility in Yamoussoukro by Kobo personnel where the entire sample was prepared for analysis (prep code PRP86/PRP94). Sample splits of 50 grams were then analysed for gold using 50g Fire Assay as per SGS Geochem Method FAA505. QA/QC procedures for the drill program include insertion of a certificated standards every 20 samples, a blank every 20 samples and a duplicate sample every 20 samples. All QAQC control samples returned values within acceptable limits.
