Marketwired
Harvest Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE: HVG) (the "Company") is
pleased to announce that it's Phase II drilling program at its 100%
owned Rosebud Mine project in northwest Nevada, USA, begun in
March, will be completed by this weekend. More than 14,000 feet
(4,270 metres) have been drilled in 21 reverse circulation holes,
meeting the Company's footage goals for the program. Final assays
are expected within approximately two weeks and will be released as
soon as analysis is complete.
Greg Hill, President of Harvest Gold Corp. (US), states:
"Drilling has focused on four key target areas. They are the
Valley, Southern Extension, Northeast, and Far East targets, with
the majority of drilling taking place in the Valley and Southern
Extension areas. Despite several weather delays during this very
wet spring, we have achieved our footage goals within budget. We
look forward to announcing results as soon as possible."
About Rosebud
The Rosebud property is an advanced exploration project
consisting of 54 unpatented mining claims centered on the former
Rosebud underground mine, which produced nearly 400,000 oz gold and
2,300,000 oz silver between 1997 and 2000. The underground
operation mined three high-grade ore zones, with an average
production grade of 0.416 oz Au/t (14.2 g/tonne), 2.42 oz Ag/t (83
g/tonne). Due to falling gold prices, the cut-off grade was
increased from 0.15 oz Au/t (5.1 g/tonne) to 0.18 oz Au/ton (6.2
g/tonne) over the life of the mine, and mineralized material below
the cutoff was not mined. An in-place, non-43-101-compliant
Measured and Indicated Global resource of 242,000 oz Au, 2,130,000
oz Ag (6.81 million t @ 0.036 oz Au/t, 0.31 oz Ag/t), was
calculated by Hecla at the close of mining in 2000. (This
historical resource estimate was made by a source believed to be
reliable, however the Company has not yet independently verified
the estimate according to CIM standards and thus this historical
estimate should not be relied upon.) The Harvest Gold 43-101 report

The Rosebud deposit is a high-grade low-sulfidation
volcanic-hosted precious metals deposit, similar in origin,
geologic setting, and mineralization style to other low-sulfidation
gold deposits in northern Nevada, including the high-grade
multi-million-ounce Sleeper and Midas deposits. The property is
located in a highly mineralized portion of the Lovelock-Austin
Mineral Belt, about 5 miles south of Allied Nevada's Hycroft
mine.
The company has acquired a 100% interest in the property,
subject to a net smelter royalty.
