[{"type":"text","content":"Harvest Gold Prepares For Phase 1 Diamond Drill Program At Cerro Cascaron Property(via TheNewswire)\n\n \nVancouver, British Columbia / TheNewswire / February 1, 2018 - Harvest Gold Corporation (TSX.V:HVG) (\"Harvest Gold\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that drill permits to conduct a Phase 1 diamond drilling exploration program at the high-grade Cerro Cascaron gold-silver project in Mexico are expected by mid-February. The first phase of diamond drilling consists of 14 diamond drill holes comprising 3,000-3,500 metres in 5 of 8 target areas on the property, defined by rock channel, grab and soil samples. Planned hole depths range from 100-300 metres. The drill program is anticipated to require approximately 45-60 days to complete.\n\n\n \nHarvest Gold's President and CEO Rick Mark states: \"We are pleased to have advanced the Cerro Cascaron project to the initial drill program stage and, based on the results of our preliminary work to date, we look forward to meaningful drill results. We would like to thank our shareholders for their patience. We chose to take the time last year to add another layer of value to the investigation of Cerro Cascaron to insure we developed the best possible drill targets at this previously undrilled property. We know that a successful initial drill program is one of the key drivers of share appreciation in the junior mining space.\"\n\n\n \nGold Targets\n\n\n \n1. Serpiente Dorado and Julieta \n\n\n \nThe Phase 1 drill program at Serpiente Dorada and Julieta will consist of six holes along 900m, within a 1.8 kilometre long gold-silver soil anomaly that averages above 200 ppb with the peak being 1380 ppb gold hosting the Serpiente Dorada and Julieta structures. Holes will test areas of high grade gold-silver mineralization defined by channel and grab samples at Serpiente Dorada, and strong geochemical anomalies defined by the Julieta structure and the Julieta-Serpiente structural intersection.\n\n\n \nPrevious selected hand grab sampling of Serpiente Dorado returned gold grades from trace to 1,670 grams per tonne gold (\"g/t\") gold and 1,490 g/t silver while channel samples collected with a rock saw on the Julieta vein returned sample grades of 5.04 g/t gold and 14.4 g/t silver over 2.0 metres within 6.3 metres grading 2.16 g/t gold and 28.8 g/t silver (see Harvest Gold press release d...
