TSXV APPROVES HARVEST GOLD’S AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE THE URBAN
BARRY PROPERTY IN THE ABITIBI REGION OF QUEBEC
Vancouver, British Columbia / March 4, 2024 - Harvest Gold Corporation (TSX.V: HVG)
(“Harvest Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the TSX Venture Exchange (the
“Exchange”) has now approved the O ption Agreement (the “ Option Agreement”) with EGR
Exploration Ltd. (“EGR”) (See December 19, 2023 News Release) to acquire 100% of the Urban
Barry Property (“Urban Barry”) in the Ralleau and Wilson townships in the Eeyou Istchee James
Bay/Abitibi region of Quebec.
The Urban Barry property straddles the southern margin of the under-explored Urban Barry
Greenstone Belt which is host to Osisko/Gold Fields’ Windfall deposit which, today, holds nearly
4 million ounces of gold* (Figure 1).
Rick Mark, President and CEO of Harvest Gold states: “We are pleased to announce the Exchange
approval of our second option agreement to own 100% of a substantial gold property in the Abitibi
region of Quebec. As shown in Figure 1, Urban Barry is very near our recently approved Mosseau
Gold Project which sits on the SW edge of the Urban Barry Greenstone Belt. One of the many
things that attracted us to Urban Barry was the confidence Gold Fields had in this greenstone belt,
as indicated in Osisko’s May 2, 2023 announcement that said their partner, Gold Fields, will sole
fund expenditures for regional exploration up to a maximum of C$75 million. This mining centric
region in Quebec is gaining renewed attention worldwide.”

Urban Barry encompasses an area of 6,789 hectares within 122 claims, covering approximately 19
kilometres of favourable strike in the Urban Barry Greenstone Belt . The property directly adjoins
the large land package of the Osisko Mining Inc./Gold Field’s (50/50 JV) Windfall property, which
includes the Windfall Deposit (approximately 43 km to the east) (Figure 2).
Daniel Rodriguez, CEO and Director of EGR, comments, “Harvest Gold is now a Quebec focused
gold exploration company with multiple assets in a great area of Quebec. Harvest Gold can now
move forward with its plan to unlock the potential of this underexplored property. The Urban Barry
property sits on trend with Osisko/Goldfields Windfall property and previous work interprets the
westward extension of the Urban Barry Greenstone Belt. Our shareholders are excited to see
Harvest Gold’s progress on the property as the y test its geological structures and move towards
discovery.”

Prior work on the Urban Barry Property
From November 2019 to March 2020, Canadian Energy Materials Corp. (now EGR Exploration
Ltd.) flew an airborne drone magnetic geophysical survey over the Urban Barry property. Results
from this survey confirm the presence of the northwest extension of rock units and fault structures
hosting the nearby Windfall gold deposit.
The Short Term Plan
Harvest Gold plans to fly magnetics over the property in the spring ahead of a prospecting, mapping
and till sampling program in the summer designed to determine priority drill targets.

Forward Looking Information
This news release includes certain statements that may be deemed "forward looking statements".
All statements in this news release, other than statements of historical facts, that address events or
developments that Harvest Gold expects to occur, are forward looking statements. Forward looking
statements are statements that are not historical facts and are generally, but not always, identified
by the words "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "intends", "estimates", "projects",
"potential" and similar expressions, or that events or conditions "will", "would", "may", "could" or
"should" occur.
This news release may include technical information that was generated prior to the introduction
of National Instrument 43 -101. Details of the sampling methods, handling, and quality control
methods used in the generation of this historical technical data are unknown to Harvest Gold, and
the drill material, assay results, true width of intercepts herein cannot be and have not been verified
by the Company’s Qualified Person for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101.
A number of mineral resources or significant occurrences disclosed herein relate to nearby
properties owned by other companies, and the data presented have been extracted from these
companies’ press releases and websites. A Qualified Person has been unabl e to verify this
information from the adjacent properties, and such results are not necessarily indicative of potential
quantities or grades of mineralization on the Company’s properties.
Relating to exploration, the identification of exploration targets and any implied future
investigation of such targets on the basis of specific geological, geochemical and geophysical
evidence or trends are future-looking and subject to a variety of possi ble outcomes which may or
may not include the discovery, or extension, or termination of mineralization. Further, areas around
known mineralized intersections or surface showings may be marked by wording such as “open”,
“untested”, “possible extension” or “exploration potential” or by symbols such as “?”. Such
wording or symbols should not be construed as a certainty that mineralization continues or that the
character of mineralization (e.g. grade or thickness) will remain consistent from a known and
measured data point. The key risks related to exploration in general are that chances of identifying
economical reserves are extremely small.
Although the Company believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are
based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and
actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could
cause the actual results to differ materially from those in forward looking statements include market
prices, exploitation and exploration successes, and continued availability of capital and financing,
and general econo mic, market or business conditions. Investors are cautioned that any such
statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ
materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements are
based on the beliefs, estimates and opinions of the Company’s management on the date the
statements are made. Except as required by securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation
to update these forward -looking statements in the event that management's beliefs, estimates or
opinions, or other factors, should change.
