[{"type":"text","content":" MONTREAL, Dec. 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Harfang Exploration Inc. (“Harfang”) (TSX-V: HAR) is pleased to report significant gold intervals in the first drillholes completed during summer 2021 on its wholly owned Serpent Property (“Property”) located in Eeyou Istchee – James Bay (Québec) (Fig. 1, Table 1). These mineralized intervals confirm lateral extension of known gold structures (Fig. 2). Other analytical results are pending. A 3rd drill program will begin in January 2022. Highlights: Drillhole SER-21-029 returned 4.09 g/t Au over 8.00 m; Drillhole SER-21-035 returned 4.33 g/t Au over 7.00 m and additional gold intervals (most mineralized drillhole so far); Main gold-bearing Stu structure extended for at least 425 m; A large gold footprint (10 km2, >50 ppb Au) defined at surface and at depth; WNW-ESE gold structures outlined on Serpent extend into LaSalle Exploration’s Radisson property totaling at least 10 km in length. Promising Drill Results Table 1. All gold intervals in drillholes SER-21-028 to SER-21-035 with a metal factor >2 (g/t x m). Bold intervals have a metal factor >20.

The most significant intervals in SER-21-029 (4.09 g/t Au over 8.00 m) and SER-21-035 (4.33 g/t Au over 7.00 m) consist in fine to medium-grained diorite containing 1-3% disseminated pyrite and actinolite-feldspar-quartz veinlets (Figs. 3 and 4). Decimetric tension quartz veins are present in SER-21-029. Gold grades are most likely associated with the amount of pyrite rather than with quartz veins. Isolated and coarse gold crystals were observed in the actinolite-feldspar-quartz veinlets. Similar lithologies, alterations and amount of pyrit...
