Harvest Gold can earn up to an 80% interest in Cerro Cascaron from Evrim Resources Corp. (\"Evrim\"). The project covers 69 square kilometers in an historic Colonial-era mining district in the prolific Sierra Madre Occidental precious metals belt of western Chihuahua State, Mexico.\n\n\n \nAs part of its due diligence, Harvest Gold retained Mr. David Bent, P. Geo., as a geological consultant to visit the project. Mr. Bent was able to inspect most of the project and took nine rock samples from both the main gold vein field and a newly discovered, silver rich breccia and vein target called La Cascarita, located five kilometres west of the currently defined main gold field. The rock samples twinned previous samples taken by Evrim to confirm previous assay results. Gold and silver sample locations and comparative assay results are provided below. \n\n\n \nSampling at La Cascarita returned highly anomalous polymetallic values, with sample D504728, from the lip of a breccia structure that is estimated to be 3 m in width, returning 1,170 g/t silver, 2.72 g/t gold, and 1.02% zinc and sample D504727, from the surface outcrop of the 1.3 m wide La Cascarita vein, returning 331 g/t silver, 0.067 g/t gold; and 1.63% lead. \n\n\n \nA sample from the Serpiente Dorada vein, part of the main gold vein field, assayed 826 g/t gold, which supports Evrim's high grade sample of 1,670 g/t gold. Six other samples from the main vein field also assayed significant gold grades of between 0.251 g/t and 38.0 g/t gold.\n\n\n \nCommenting on his site visit, Mr. Bent said \"I consider the Cerro Cascaron property to be an excellent target for an aggressive exploration campaign. There has been no drilling to date and no indication of the use of modern exploration techniques to delineate buried targets. I recommend that Harvest acquire the property and conduct an integrated program of geological, geochemical and geophysical surve...
