(“Harfang”) (TSX-V: HAR) is pleased to report that fieldwork conducted during Fall on its Serpent Project returned more gold-rich rock samples in the vicinity of the Langelier and Mista showings (see attached figures). Two grab samples grading 33.84 g/t and 6.17 g/t Au were collected from a newly-discovered shear zone parallel to the known Langelier gold-bearing structure. Another sample collected in sheared tonalite some 300 m south of Mista showing returned 21.91 g/t Au. Grab samples are selected samples and are not necessarily representative of the mineralization enclosed on the property. These results demonstrate that more exploration work, including prospecting, needs to be accomplished on this vast underexplored property. The Mista showing refers to a WNW-ESE mineralized structure mapped over at least 280 m. Channel sampling returned 1.12% Cu, 0.23 g/t Au and 8.68 g/t Ag over 10 m, including 2.09% Cu, 0.45 g/t Au and 16.4 g/t Ag over 4 m (see October 11, 2018 press release). Additional fieldwork showed that sulfides (mainly chalcopyrite) are not solely hosted in quartz veins but also occur in highly-sheared and metamorphosed tonalitic, gabbroic and altered quartzo-feldspathic sedimentary rocks. The new 21.91 g/t Au sample was collected in a sheared hematized tonalite filled with quartz veinlets associated to a structure subparallel to the Mista corridor located 300 m to the north. The Langelier showing corresponds to an ENE-WSW shear zone hosted in foliated to gneissic quartz-bearing diorite. The outcropping shear zone is at least 75 m long and up to 2 m wide. Folded and boudinaged quartz veins included into the shear zone returned 91.48 g/t Au over 0.45 m (channeling) and 17.79 and 54.75 g/t Au (grab samples) and contain visible gold. The new gold-rich samples were collected from a similar structural setting in another shear zone located 20 m to the north. Moreover, fieldwork completed in October allowed to collect 27 till samples spaced 500 m apart in a 2.5 km x 2.0 km grid around Mista. Also, 49 B-horizon soil samples were collected along lines positioned over the Mista and Langelier showings. These two small-scale geochemical surveys (till and soil) were planned and executed to test the chemical signa...
