About this update from Harvest Gold Corporation
[{"type":"text","content":"Vancouver, British Columbia / TheNewswire / October 18, 2017 - Harvest Gold Corporation (TSX.V:HVG) (\"Harvest Gold\" or the \"Company\") and Evrim Resources Corp. (\"Evrim\") (TSX.V:EVM) are pleased to announce soil sampling results from its Phase 1 exploration program at the high-grade Cerro Cascaron gold-silver project in Mexico. The extensive soil sampling program covered an area of 4.5 kilometres by 1.6 kilometres north of the main gold vein field. Results have extended known veins, identified two new corridors and have highlighted a 1.4 kilometre-long, very strong gold-silver trend to the north of the highly prospective Serpiente Dorada vein. Highly anomalous soil samples, including one that assayed 1.38 grams per tonne (\"g/t\") gold were also collected in the corridor where Serpiente Dorada intersects a newly identified, 1.8 kilometre long gold rich corridor (the \"new vein corridor target\"). This intersection is a very prospective target which is now a focus of the current mapping and drill targeting program. (see Figure 1). Figure 1: Showing composite rock chip and soil sampling results over the Serpiente Dorado and New vein corridor target Previous hand sampling of Serpiente Dorado returned gold grades from trace to 1,670 g/t gold and 1,490 g/t silver (see Harvest Gold press release dated July 12, 2017). [* Readers are cautioned that rock chip and grab samples are selected samples and are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the property.] The area around the Serpiente Dorada vein and new vein corridor target define extensive gold and silver soil anomalies and arsenic and antimony anomalism. The known soil anomaly at Serpiente Dorada also suggests that significant gold-silver mineralization can be found over a range of elevation of at least 350 metres. Warren Bates, P. Geo., the Company's Director of Project Investigation said: \"We are very pleased with the results of the soil sampling program, which has significantly extended the potential strike length of known gold bearing veins and has defined a very prospective intersection of a new vein corridor target and the Serpiente Dorada vein. The combination of initial rock sampling and mapping, results of the recent soil sampling, and the three-dimensional view provided by the project's 900 metre vertical cliff side topography and colonial era...
