Harvest Gold Expands Land Position in Urban Barry Greenstone Belt

Vancouver, British Columbia — March 12, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Harvest Gold Corporation (TSXV: HVG) has acquired 24 additional mineral claims in the Urban Barry Greenstone Belt of Quebec, the company announced today.

The agreements to acquire the claims, totaling 1,356 hectares, were made with two separate arm’s length prospector groups.

The acquired claims expand Harvest Gold’s Mosseau Project along strike to the north and south, incorporating areas of favorable geology with documented historical gold and base metal showings, according to the company.

The block of six claims and four claims to the south are underlain by the Kiask River Deformation Zone. Combined with Harvest Gold’s LaBelle property, they provide continuous coverage over approximately 33 kilometers of strike length of favorable geology south of the Wilson intrusion.

With this acquisition, Harvest Gold’s land position in the Urban Barry Greenstone Belt now totals 401 mineral claims covering 21,372.81 hectares and over 50 kilometers of strike length of favorable and potentially mineralized structures, strategically located within the Urban Barry Greenstone Belt.

According to the company, historical work documented in the government's database (SIGEOM) has outlined five additional mineral showings in the north part of the Mosseau property, extending into the Toussaint Deformation Zone, and three mineral showings to the south, adjoining the Mosseau and LaBelle properties.

Northern Showings within the Toussaint Deformation Zone include:

Domtar 116 (Blueberry): 4.4% Cu, 46.0 g/t Ag, 1.38 g/t Au over 0.18 m (DDH)

Domtar 111 (Beehler Vein): 0.69 g/t Au, 3.09 g/t Ag, 0.22% Cu, 0.23% MoS₂ over 0.61 m (channel sample) and 1.4 g/t Au, 0.86% Cu (grab sample)

Rivière Wilson: 1.0 g/t Au (grab sample)

Verneuil-BV-92-01: 1.23 g/t Au over 0.27 m (DDH)

Verneuil-Serem Est: 1.41 g/t Au over 1.5 m (DDH)

Southern Showings – Kiask River Deformation Zone:

Lac Labrie: 47.32 g/t Au over 0.3 m (DDH), 22.3 g/t Au over 0.9 m (DDH), 119.67 g/t Au (float sample)

Labrie 2: 1.65% Zn, 1.11% Pb (grab samples)

Lac Labrie SE: 2.06 g/t Au, 4.46 g/t Ag over 0.61m (DDH)

Rick Mark, President and CEO of Harvest Gold, said the expansion enhances the company's strategic footprint in the Urban Barry Greenstone Belt. He added that it connects Mosseau and LaBelle and now covers the entirety of the Kiask River Deformation Zone. Mark also noted that historical results and surface showings from only a small portion of the now expanded Mosseau property underscore the strong exploration potential across the largely underexplored, 100% owned land package.

As consideration for a 100% interest in the Audet-Robert claim blocks, Harvest Gold has agreed to provide the Audet-Robert Vendors with $60,000 in cash and 750,000 common shares of the Company.
