Gold silver copper dilation zone discovery provides Harvest Gold new exploration target on Mosseau North - Richard Mills
(www.investorideas.com
Newswire) On July 24 Harvest Gold announced they identified 23 priority drill targets in the central and north parts of its flagship property,
Mosseau, located in the Urban Barry Belt of Quebec’s Abitibi
region.
The company has now completed 21 diamond drill
holes totaling 4,692 meters. Drilling targeted the northern and
central areas of the property.
This week HVG announced the
second and final series of assay results from the northern area of its
it’s maiden drill program at Mosseau. Assay results have now
been reported for these first 11 holes.
Results for the
final 10 holes from the Central area of the Mosseau property, where
several soil geochemical anomalies associated with airborne magnetic
features have been identified, are pending.
The January 8, 2026, release focused on drilling within a major
structural feature interpreted as a large dilation zone, based on
Harvest Gold’s 2024 high-resolution magnetic survey.
Dilation zone exploration targets specific geological
structures, often bends or jogs in fault lines, where tectonic forces
create open spaces (dilation zones) that allow mineral-rich fluids to
deposit valuable metals like gold, silver, and copper. These zones are
crucial for exploration because they often host wider, higher-grade
mineralized intervals, forming attractive polymetallic targets for
junior resource companies.
“As we
finish reporting on our 11-hole Northern area program, we are excited
to have found new, complex and sizable mineralization in our
previously identified ‘dilation zone’, which our geo team
interprets to have the types of fluids and traps that can hide
deposits,” CEO Rick Mark said in the Jan. 8 news release. “The thick intervals and widespread Au-Ag-Cu mineralization
southeast of the Morono deposit, within this structural dilation zone,
indicate a regionally extensive and significant gold system. Elevated
background values and consistent mineralogical associations support
this interpretation. The gold-rich mineralization, accompanied by
silver and base metals, shares key similarities with several
well-known, gold-rich base metal deposits in the Abitibi.”
The most southerly hole to date, MO-25-24, located 330
meters southeast of the Morono deposit, intersected multiple intervals
with anomalous gold-copper-silver mineralization over the length of
the hole.
Hole MO-25-22 testing the down-dip extension of
the Morono deposit at a depth of 325m intersected several wide zones
of anomalous gold and copper mineralization over core lengths of 10 to
19 meters.
The highest-grade assays from the second batch
of five drill holes include 2.40 g/t Au over 1.4m (MO-25-21) and 1.26
g/t Au over 1.5m (hole MO-25-20).
This brecciated gold-rich
base metal mineralization provides new and compelling exploration
targets, according to HVG.
Analysis
The five holes targeted the dilation zone interpreted from the
high-resolution magnetic survey completed by Harvest Gold in 2024. The
holes tested the historical Morono S&P Trench target area, the
historical, non-43-101-compliant Morono deposit at depth, and the SE
extension of the Morono deposit where previous prospecting had
identified gold-copper mineralization in boulders.
I think
it’s safe to say most are here for the Central area (Harvest Gold now drilling Central Mosseau — Richard Mills) but this news is important in two ways, first is wherever HVG has
sunk a drill hole, with the first 11 holes, they have hit
mineralization in every drill hole. That mineralization might not be
important from an economic viewpoint, but, and second, from an
exploration point it could potentially be used as a vectoring tool
towards perhaps finding something of economic value, so they are
extremely useful in that regard.
Hole MO-24-25 is important, there’s definitely something, imo,
worth chasing and perhaps vectoring into potentially economic
mineralization at a later date.
Dilation zones are
often where deposits, potentially large ones hide.
To
reiterate:
“Drilling focused on a major structural
feature interpreted as a large dilation zone, based on Harvest
Gold’s 2024 high-resolution magnetic survey. The most
southerly hole to date, located 330m to the SE of the Morono deposit
(50-70,000 oz gold, non-43-101-compliant), intersected multiple
intervals with anomalous and coincidental Au-Ag-Cu mineralization over
the length of the hole (MO-25-24).”
Mark says the
long 325-meter hole (MO-25-22) and the most southerly hole (MO-25-24)
“tell us things that nobody’s ever known about Mosseau.
Mosseau has always been a gold target and now going below Morono and
going south of Morono we see this more complex interaction,” he
told me over the phone, adding that Morono has been known about since
the 1980s but there hasn’t been enough gold to warrant further
exploration.
“The near-surface gold, which was not considered to be of too
much value in the over all understanding of the Morono area’s
potential, is now in play if that halo is sitting on top of a deposit.
It changes any value equation regarding new mineralization as you go
deeper.”
