Mr.
Ongoing Lithium and Gold Exploration
The field crew is actually based in
A first-phase surface exploration campaign (prospecting, mapping, rock sampling) is in progress on the La Passe, Ewart and Sakami properties where large pegmatite occurrences are known but have never been explored for their lithium potential. Ongoing prospecting has confirmed the presence of tourmaline, garnet, apatite and beryl in muscovite-bearing peraluminous pegmatites at La Passe and Ewart.
Harfang also continues surface exploration in the eastern part of the Serpent-Radisson property where several pegmatite dykes were sampled in 2022. Some of them contain highly anomalous beryllium (up to 25,000 ppm), lithium (up to 1,420 ppm), cesium (up to 998 ppm), tantalum (up to 173 ppm), niobium (up to 278 ppm) and rubidium (up to 1,095 ppm). The main objective of this program on lithium assets is to find Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum Pegmatites (“LCT Pegmatites”) warranting more advanced exploration, including drilling.
Harfang is also continuing targeted exploration on its

The 2023 winter program included the Company’s first drill program on the project which successfully demonstrated that wide zones of gold mineralization associated with increasing intensity of alteration extend at depth in the southeast area of the Pierre monzonite. Drilled highlights include 21.0 metres grading 1.75 g/t Au including 14.1 metres grading 2.49 g/t Au (LMN-23-001), 75.0 metres grading 0.54 g/t Au including 3.0 metres grading 6.75 g/t Au and 1.0 metres grading 12.65 g/t Au (LMN-23-004), and 47.0 metres grading 1.15 g/t Au including 7.0 metres grading 3.75 g/t Au (LMN-23-017) (see news release dated
The Lake Menarik Property is characterized by multiple high-grade gold occurrences hosted in intermediate intrusive (syenite, monzonite and monzodiorite) and volcano-sedimentary rocks in a geological setting reminiscent of the
On Serpent-Radisson, the gold exploration is being conducted specifically in an area where 65 soil samples (up to 2.27 g/t Au), spatially associated with gold-rich till samples, define a strong gold anomaly covering 2.2 km2 where no drilling has taken place yet (see news release dated
The intent of the exploration program on these two gold assets is to define priority drill targets. Harfang will also proceed to a geological assessment of the data collected during previous programs to generate these targets.
Update on Conviac, Ross and Lemare
Harfang has just completed a five-week field program on the new Conviac, Ross and Lemare properties in
