Harvest Gold Corporation provided an update on the inaugural 5 hole, 2,600 metre diamond drill program at its 100% owned Au-Cu Emerson Property located in central B.C. The 56 km2 Emerson Property comprises 14 contiguous mineral claims located 15 km west of Houston, B.C. with a nearby railroad, high voltage powerline and gas pipeline. Highlights: Drill hole core confirms source of large IP anomaly: The first two drill holes have shown that chargeability anomalies in the DIAS 3D IP inversion results are related to significant hydrothermal pyrite in quartz pyrite-breccia zones and quartz pyrite stockworks in feldspar porphyry and andesite, with apparent thicknesses of up to 50 metres and up to 600 metres, respectively. · Alteration and mineralization extend below limits of geophysical information: Quartz-pyrite stockwork zones extend to depths of 795m, more than 300m below the limits of the 3D IP chargeability inversion. This coincides well with a ~165 ha chargeability anomaly open to the NW. Large footprint and continuity of pyrite mineralization to depth: Alteration intersected includes clay within vuggy feldspar porphyry from surface to 150 m depth. Below this, pervasive
and stockwork silicification and clay alteration from 290 to 795 m depth. Mineralization to 795 m depth includes pyrite dissemination, quartz-pyrite ± molybdenite veins, pyrite veinlets, and galena- sphalerite veins. Two holes completed; Two diamond drill holes totaling 1,098 metres have been completed to date. Drill hole EM22-019 was completed to a hole depth of 795m, while drill hole EM22-020 (collared 235m east of EM22-019) reached a depth of 303m along the same section. EM22-020 was terminated before proposed depth due to ground conditions. Core samples are being dispatched from the company's core logging facility in Houston, B.C. to ALS Global preparation facilities in Kamloops, B.C. Assays results are pending. Drill hole lithologies: Dominant lithologies encountered in holes EMR22-019 and -020 were feldspar porphyry ("FSPO"), feldspar porphyry breccia ("FSPO-BXX") and andesite ("ANDS"). The dominant alteration types are silicification and clay alteration. A zonation in alteration, from a mantle of clay-dominated alteration in the upper 100 - 150 metres of drill holes -019 and -020, gives way to a zone of strong silicification to intense silicification beneath. Minor
sphalerite-galena-pyrite mineralization is present in the upper clay-altered portions of the two holes. A zone of feldspar porphyry breccia with 8-15% pyrite-silica veining is seen in both holes beneath the clay altered zone. Intervals of quartz-pyrite cemented breccia from 12 to 15 m long are seen from 156 to 193 m in -020 and from 127 to 152 m in -019. Moderate pyrite mineralization including breccia zones coincides with the DIAS 3D-IP chargeability high suggesting this is likely the source of the chargeability anomaly. FSPO-BXX shows multiple phases of mineralization and structural reworking. Mineralization is present in these zones as disseminated pyrite, breccia infill of quartz-pyrite, interstitial pyrite, dark very fine-grained
pyrite in quartz veins, and clusters of pyrite veinlets that cut breccia textures.
