High-Grade Gold Discoveries at Menarik East
Harfang Exploration Inc. (“Harfang” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: HAR) is thrilled to unveil multiple high-grade gold discoveries at its wholly-owned Menarik East Property in Québec. This remarkable finding highlights an emerging gold trend in an area long recognized for its chromium resources.
Overview of Recent Discoveries
New High-Grade Gold Insights
The discoveries made at Menarik East have been significant. Harfang's exploration efforts have led to several high-grade gold findings in regions that had previously not been thoroughly examined. These latest findings indicate a new gold trend characterized by quartz-carbonate vein systems directly linked to shear zones.
Impressive Assay Results
Among the standout highlights, sixteen grab samples have returned assay results exceeding 2.0 g/t Au, with top results featuring impressive values of 44.3 g/t Au, 28.5 g/t Au, and 22.5 g/t Au.
Mineral Potential in the Dyke Swarms
The recent discovery of gold-bearing sheared dykes has brought attention to the expansive 20 km² area of gabbroic dykes present at Menarik East. The implications are clear; further prospecting is anticipated to uncover additional gold mineralization across this region.
Exploring the Ultramafic Zones
Gold and copper-nickel-PGE mineralization have also been detected within the ultramafic portion of the Menarik Igneous Complex, suggesting a polymetallic potential for the property extending beyond its known chromium reserves. These findings reflect a complex geological backdrop ripe for further exploration.
Expanding Land Position at Menarik East
In response to these encouraging discoveries, Harfang has increased its land position at Menarik East. An additional eighteen claims have been staked in the eastern sector of the property, illustrating the Company’s proactive approach to securing promising ground linked to their recent findings.
Insights from the President and CEO
Vincent Dubé-Bourgeois, Interim President and CEO of Harfang Exploration Inc., remarked on the summer's exploration efforts. "This was the first opportunity for our geologists to explore this area.
