(“Harfang” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: HAR) is pleased to report analytical results from drill holes recently completed on its Lake Menarik Gold Property (“Property”) in Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Québec (Figure 1). The results reported today confirm broad gold intervals in a highly altered and brecciated monzonite that are open at depth in the Pierre and Pierre Ouest areas, and gold mineralized zones at depth and along strike of the David surface occurrence. The winter program also included an Induced Polarization (“IP”) geophysical survey that highlighted several chargeability targets in other areas of the Property that will be followed up during the upcoming field program to begin in June. The Property, located 45 kilometres south of Radisson (Québec) consists of 304 claims (15,627 hectares) and is 100% owned by Harfang. Drill Highlights: Pierre and Pierre Ouest Areas: 1.15 g/t Au over 47.0 metres including 3.75 g/t Au over 7.0 metres, and 1.05 g/t Au over 12.0 metres (LMN-23-017); 1.75 g/t Au over 21.0 metres including 2.49 g/t Au over 14.1 metres (LMN-23-001); 0.54 g/t Au over 75.0 metres including 6.75 g/t Au over 3.0 metres and 12.65 g/t Au over 1.0 metre (LMN-23-004). David Area: 0.88 g/t Au over 9.45 metres including 5.19 g/t Au over 1.15 metres (LMN-23-009); 1.64 g/t Au over 5.3 metres including 6.68 g/t Au over 1.2 metres (LMN-23-011). Commented Ian Campbell, President and CEO, “Our maiden drill program of shallow drilling on the Property has successfully demonstrated that wide zones of gold mineralization associated with increasing intensity of alteration extend to depth in the southeast area of the monzonite. We are excited about the upcoming field campaign set to begin in early June which is designed to generate additional drill targets, building on our field campaign from last year where we made several discoveries to the East of the drilled sector, and in areas which have had no work completed to date.” Geological Setting The Property is characterized by multiple high-grade gold occurrences hosted in a polyphase intermediate intrusion (syenite, monzonite and monzodiorite) and adjacent volcano-sedimentary rocks. The geological setting of the Property is reminiscent of that of the Timmins Camp based on the occurrence of gold-b...
