About this update from Harvest Gold Corporation

Harvest Gold Announces Drilling Delay At Mosseau (TheNewswire)     Vancouver, British Columbia / August 17, 2026 – TheNewswire - Harvest Gold Corporation (TSXV: HVG) (“Harvest Gold” or the “Company”) provides an update to its news release of July 15, 2026, in which the Company announced that its second Mosseau drill program was scheduled to begin the following weekend. The driller arrived on site as planned on Friday, July 17, 2026, and was ready to begin drilling on Monday, July 20, 2026. The Company holds a three-year Authorization to Initiate Work (“ATI”) permit, granted by the government of Quebec in 2025, and a follow-up forestry permit issued in June 2026.

The Company agreed to both requests. At that meeting, Band Council representatives asked that two agreements currently under negotiation be finalized before drilling began. In response, the Company committed in writing to an accelerated negotiating timeline, proposing to complete one agreement by mid-August and the other by mid-September, and requested Lac Simon’s support to begin drilling in the interim. The Company was encouraged when a meeting with the full Band Council was scheduled for August 4, 2026, and kept its drill contractor on site in anticipation. That meeting ultimately took place on August 10, 2026, followed by a second meeting on August 12, 2026. Following these two meetings, negotiations are well advanced and relations remain positive. However, the Lac Simon First Nation has maintained its preference that drilling not commence until both agreements are finalized. In good faith, Harvest Gold has agreed to honour this request and looks forward to building a long-term, mutually beneficial relationship with the Lac Simon First Nation. On August 12, 2026, the Company notified its drilling contractor, a company approved by Lac Simon, that the program would not proceed at this time and instructed it to demobilize from the project site.
