Harvest GOLD Receives Government Approval FOR Drill Permits ON Its Mosseau GOLD Project IN Quebec’S Urban Barry Belt

Permits & Approvals

HARVEST GOLD RECEIVES GOVERNMENT APPROVAL FOR DRILL PERMITS ON ITS

MOSSEAU GOLD PROJECT IN QUEBEC’S URBAN BARRY BELT

Vancouver, British Columbia / April 23, 2025 - Harvest Gold Corporation (TSXV: HVG)

(“Harvest Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has successfully received all

required government / ATI permits, providing the Company latitude for selecting drill targets in

the Northen and Central areas of Mosseau. Targets in the northern area have been prioritized while

the Company’s Geological team is finalizing targets in the Central area and expects that process

to be completed within the next two weeks.

The Company continues to work with government regulatory authorities and First Nation

communities to ensure proper consultation and compliance with all environmental and operational

requirements.

Harvest Gold President and CEO, Rick Mark, states: “This set of Government approvals clears the

path to drilling in late spring/early summer. Our team has worked diligently to secure these permits

and now turns to finalizing drill targets at Mosseau, which are being identified through an extensive

compilation of historical data and Harvest Gold’s recent geological and geochemical surveys. This

marks a significant milestone for the Company as it advances exploration efforts to unlock the

potential of our flagship Mosseau project.”

Having a drill program just east of Lebel-sur-Quévillon in Quebec comes with several strategic

and cost-saving benefits, especially compared to remote exploration projects. It positively impacts

logistics, infrastructure use including accommodations and road access, and overall drilling costs.

In Quebec, an Authorization for Impact -Causing Exploration Work (ATI) is a permit introduced

by the Ministère des Ressources naturelles et des Forêts (MRNF) that became mandatory on May

6, 2024. This authorization is required before conducting certain mine ral exploration activities,

including diamond drilling. The ATI aims to enhance transparency, ensure that the concerns of

local municipalities and Indigenous communities are considered, and promote harmonious land

use. An ATI, similar to what has been awarded to Harvest Gold, is valid for two years and can be

renewed, subject to compliance with regulatory conditions. The ATI permits allow the Company

flexibility for the upcoming drill programs in 2025-2026 as well as any necessary follow-up in the

next few years.

Much of the Mosseau property was affected by the large regional forest fires of the summer of

2023. While destructive, these forest fires have inadvertently created opportunities for mineral

exploration in several ways on the Mosseau project. This includes natural clearing of the vegetation,

reduce environmental sensitivity and easier physical access thanks to the new forestry roads.

Harvest Gold remains committed to responsible exploration and will adhere to the highest

environmental and community engagement standards throughout the drilling process.
