Vancouver, British Columbia / TheNewswire / February 28, 2024 ‑ Harvest Gold Corporation (TSXV: HVG) (“Harvest Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that Novatem, Inc, (“Novatem”), a Quebec based company specializing in the performance of high resolution airborne geophysical surveys, has been selected and is ready to begin its work over Harvest Gold’s Mosseau Project. Mosseau is located 22 km east of Lebel sur Quevillon in the Abitibi region of Quebec.

The helicopter airborne magnetic survey will comprise 1,639 line km covering 7,136 ha. and will be flown at a nominal line spacing of 50 m. The height of flight above the ground will be a drape as low as possible, usually between 15 m and 20 m considering topography and vegetation.

Harvest Gold President and CEO, Rick Mark, states: “We are all excited to take this first step towards providing us and our shareholders a better understanding of the potential at Mosseau. Our technical team spent the past two weeks working with Novatem to customize this mag flying program to ensure its outcomes complement the extensive, but disparate existing historical data on Mosseau. The objective is to produce a comprehensive report defining and prioritizing the areas of Mosseau most likely to  host gold deposits.”

Novatem will utilize its ultra-high resolution helicopter system, Novatem G2, using two laser optical pumping sensors providing 1000 measurements per second (1000 Hz) mounted at the front of a Guimbal G2 light helicopter.

The instrumentation will include:

  • A “stinger”, mounted at the front of the helicopter, designed and certified by Novatem for the Guimbal G2 helicopter; 

  • Two very high-resolution laser optically pumped scalar magnetic sensors; 

  • A real time GNSS multi-frequency receiver for GPS, Glonass, Galileo and BeiDou constellations; 

  • A compensation system developed by Novatem for the very high resolution, using an inertial unit and a three-component fluxgate magnetometer manufactured by Billingsley and high-performance inversion algorithms for the calculation of coefficients; and 

  • A “draped” navigation system developed by Novatem, allowing to follow a continuous flight surface, calculated in advance, and thus to minimize the differences at the intersections of flight lines and control lines. 

This high-resolution geophysical survey will serve as a base for upcoming compilation of the geology and numerous historical showings as well as cross cutting structural features (Figures 1 and 2). This compilation will provide the Harvest Gold Technical team with the information needed to effectively plan this summer’s prospecting and property wide soil geochemistry survey.
