[{"type":"text","content":" MONTREAL, Dec. 10, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Harfang Exploration Inc. (“Harfang”) (TSX-V: HAR) is pleased to report additional high-grade gold discoveries (up to 117 g/t Au in grab samples) on the Serpent Property (the “Property”) located in James Bay (Québec) (Figure 1). Gold was found in 6 new locations adding to previous discoveries for a total of 15 gold showings. These new results steming from the fall 2019 program are spatially associated to pluri-kilometric deformation corridors suggesting a strong structural control of the mineralization. The Corporation is actually elaborating its 2020 exploration program on the Property which is expected to begin by an induced polarization survey during winter in the surroundings of the Mista prospect. Highlights: Discovery of new gold occurrences aligned into major structural corridors: Anaconda West: Up to 117.00 g/t Au, 6.6 g/t Ag and 0.10% Pb Anaconda East: 3.38 g/t Au Couleuvre: 38.40 g/t Au Reptile: 13.65 g/t Au SER-19-RO-060: 1.25 g/t Au SER-19-FH-159: 1.43 g/t Au. New Gold Discoveries Harfang completed another prospecting and geological mapping program in September 2019 on the Property once more confirming the occurrence of high-grade gold quartz veins in the surroundings of the Mista (Cu-Au-Ag) and Lawr (Au-Ag) prospects. Figure 2 shows a few examples of these gold-rich veins. Table 1 lists all grab samples with >1 g/t Au collected on outcrops during the fall program. Grab samples are selective by nature and are not necessarily representative of the mineralized zones. A total of 170 rock samples were collected from outcrops (grabs and channels) and glacial floats. Simultaneously, 125 till samples were collected in the southwestern quadrant of the Property in the vicinity of magnetic discontinuities possibly representing the extension of structural breaks containing gold-rich quartz veins. Results for these till samples are pending. Table 1. Gold-bearing grab samples (≥1 g/t Au) collected during fall 2019.
