Harvest Gold Corporation (HVG – TSX.V) Nov.
30, 2006 (the
“Company”) is pleased to report that it has expanded its claim block at
the
Company’s Garcia Flats gold exploration property on the southern
extension of
the Carlin Trend in Elko County, Nevada.
Fifty-two additional claims have been staked
in the northern
and eastern part of the northwest claim block to cover extensions of the
Eastern
gold and pathfinder element soil anomaly. The new claims cover a
portion of the
property where gravity data interpretation indicates that the pediment
cover is
estimated to be as shallow as 300 feet and possibly less. With the
addition of
the new claims, the property now comprises 250 unpatented mining claims
covering
approximately 20 square kilometers (approximately 5000 acres) in two
claim
blocks within a covered pediment setting.
Additional geochemical data and further
compilation and
interpretation of gravity, magnetic, and soil geochemical data have led
to the
identification of two prominent north-northwest trending anomalies on
the
property. These northwest-trending anomalies, referred to as the
Eastern
anomaly and Central anomaly, respectively, contain the six gold target
areas
described in the Company’s 20 September 2006 news release.
The Eastern anomaly measures approximately
1000 m wide and at
least 3500 m long. A second zone, the Central anomaly, is 600 m wide
and at
least 1800 m long. The Eastern anomaly is adjacent to an interpreted
buried
intrusion, whereas the Central anomaly is closely spatially associated
with the
interpreted buried intrusion.
The combined geological, geophysical, and
geochemical data
received since the beginning of exploration activities in April of this
year,
suggest the presence of buried Carlin-type gold mineralization.
Greg Hill, Vice President, Harvest Gold USA,
says “There are
three significant conclusions that we have reached, based on the
information now
available to us. They are: 1) the presence of at least six gold target
areas, 2)
the presence of an inferred buried intrusion, as interpreted by two
independent
geophysical contractors, and 3) the presence of a major structural
corridor and
zone of structural intersection. All of these features occur in an area
that
contains prospective carbonate rocks that act as hosts at some Carlin
type
deposits” (see Sept. 20, 2006 news release).
Enzyme leach soil survey results from the
latest program
completed in October are now being received. To date, soil samples have
been
collected at approximately 1225 sites on the property. Results are
pending for
additional samples collected to the south of the central anomaly and
within a
1400 m by 1600 m block of samples in the southwestern part of the
property.
In addition, follow-up sampling has been
undertaken in order
to replicate and confirm the geochemical results on selected portions of
the
central target area.
A drill program is now being designed to
provide initial
drill testing of the eastern and central anomalies.
The Harvest Gold website has been updated to
include new

accomplishments.
