Harfang Provides Exploration Update ON Its Menarik Properties, James BAY, Quebec
HARFANG PROVIDES EXPLORATION UPDATE ON ITS MENARIK PROPERTIES, JAMES
BAY, QUEBEC
Montreal, November 8, 2017. Harfang Exploration inc. (“ Harfang”) (TSX-V: HAR) is pleased to
announce the results o f its 2017 summer exploration campaign on the Lake M enarik and
Menarik East properties located in the La Grande geological subprovince, James Bay area,
Québec. Both properties are 100% owned by Harfang Expl oration and are located <50 km
south from the Radisson village.
Channel sampling carried out on the newly discovered Greco showing exposed on the Menarik
Lake property revealed a value of 1.04 g/t Au over 24.9 m . From a total of 347 collected from
the property, 41 grab samples yielded an average gold value of 3.72 g/t Au if we exclude one
extremely high value (199.53 g/t), providing a range of 1.06 to 18.60 g/t Au (Figure 1).
Element Number of
samples Average Range Proportion (%)
Au (> 1 g/t)* 41 3.72 g/t 1.06-18.60 g/t 12
Au (> 5 g/t)* 6 11.25 g/t 7.37-18.60 g/t 2
Au (> 10 g/t)* 2 17.02 g/t 15.44-18.60 g/t 0.5
Table 1. Significant Au (> 1 g/t) assay values returned from the Menarik Lake property.
* Excluding the value of 199.53 g/t Au
Note that grab samples are selective by nature and values reported may not be representative
of mineralized zones.
On the Menarik East property, channel samples collected from two sites yielded: 0.3 g/t Au and
13.26 g/t Ag, 0.91 wt. % Cu and 0.95 wt. % Zn over 3.9 m (Yvan II showing) and 2.17 g/t Au
over 2.9 m (Bonspot showing). A total of 287 grab samples were collected from the property ,
most of them from sheared tonalite outcrops. The polymetallic mineralization is contained within
chalcopyrite (Cu ), sphalerite (Zn), galena (Pb), pyrite/pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite (Au). A
significant proportion of samples pres ent base metal values > 1 % and/or Au values > 1 g/t
(Figure 2).
Element
Number of
samples Average Range Proportion (%)
Au (> 1 g/t) 42 5.40 g/t 1.10-35.59 g/t 15
Cu (> 1 %) 19 3.08 % 1.18-7.65 % 7
Zn (> 1 %) 23 2.13 % 1.10-4.70 % 8
Pb (> 1 %) 15 3.71 % 1.45-16.40 % 5

East property.
The first exploration step consisted of line cutting (59.55 km) to conduct IP/resistivity
geophysical surveys (41.65 km) on both properties revealing distinct geological settings.
Moreover, the surveys showed the gold bearing structures to be principally associated with
marginal to moderate chargeability anomalies, commonly associated with resistivity increases.
The summer period was further devolved to detailed and regional geological mapping
accompanied by grab sampling and channel sampling on specific showings where significant
base metals and gold values were found (i.e.Greco, Yvan -II, Bonspot and Beaver ).
Mineralization is associated with ENE-WSW brittle/ductile structures aligned with gold-bearing
veins on the Lake M enarik property and with a network of faults and/or shears oriented NNW -
SSE defining important deformations corridors on the Menarik East property.
François Goulet, President and CEO of Harfang Exploration, stated: “The new significant results
from the Lake Menarik and Menarik East properties strengthen our confidence in the company’
exploration strategy which consistently lead to new discoveries of gold -rich and base metal -
bearing showings. These significant results bode well for the development and future of Harfang”
Quality Control
Rock samples from the property are assayed by standard 30 gram fire -assaying with AA or
gravimetric finish at Expert laboratories in Rouyn -Noranda, Québec. Some samples are also
analysed for base metals, using AAT-7 or AAT-8 digestion method. Exploration program design,
Quality Assurance/Quality interpretation of results is performed by qualified persons employing
a Quality Assurance/Quality Control program consistent with the industry best practices.
Standards are included with every 20 samples for Quality Assurance/Quality Control purposes
by the Corporation as well as the lab.
