Harfang Announces Drill Results from Mista in QuébecJune 24, 2026 7:00 AM
NewsfileMontreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - June 24, 2026) - Harfang Exploration Inc. (TSXV: HAR) ("Harfang" or the "Company") reports assay results from 2026 diamond drilling at the Mista target at its wholly-owned Serpent Project in Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Québec (see Figure 1).HIGHLIGHTSThe drill program was designed to test the Mista target, a 650-metre-long trend defined by coincident surface mineralization, a moderate magnetic survey, and a strong chargeability anomaly.Results are highlighted by: 0.47% Cu, 0.22 g/t Au and 6.76 g/t Ag over 4.30 m, 0.17% Cu, 0.25 g/t Au, and 2.10 g/t Ag over 6.10 m (incl. 0.68% Cu, 1.26 g/t Au and 8.84 g/t Ag over 1.15 m), and 0.39% Cu, 0.19 g/t Au, 12.1 g/t Ag, 0.49% Zn, and 0.21% Pb over 4.05 m. Geological observations and drill results have identified a broad metal zonation pattern including both Cu-Au-Ag mineralization, and Zn-Cu-Pb-Ag-Au mineralization in the surrounding sedimentary rock, consistent with intrusion-related hydrothermal systems.Rick Breger, President and CEO of Harfang, commented: "Although this drill program did not replicate the widths and grades observed at surface, it successfully confirmed the presence of a mineralized hydrothermal system at Mista. The identification of a clear metal zonation pattern, including copper-gold-silver and polymetallic mineralization along a 650-metre trend, provides strong support for our geological model and demonstrates the scale of the system. We believe Mista remains an attractive exploration target and the results provide valuable information for future exploration."Drill ProgramDrilling was designed to test Mista, a high-priority target located within the 50,000-hectare Serpent Project (see Figure 2). Mista is a Cu-Au-Ag target that the Company discovered during 2019 summer prospecting, followed up with DC-IP in 2020, and additional surface exploration in 2024. Previous exploration at Mista identified surface mineralization in outcrops along a 350-metre strike length, including channel samples returning 1.0% Cu, 0.2 g/t Au and 7.9 g/t Ag over 12.9 metres. Additionally, the results from the DC-IP survey indicated a strong chargeability anomaly suggesting potential mineralization spanning more than 650 metres along strike. From mid-March to early April 2026, a total of 1,188 metres were completed in six diamond drill holes (see Table 1 & Figure 3).Mineralization consists of pyrite ranging from disseminated to vein-type, chalcopyrite ± molybdenite ± sphalerite within silica- and sericite-altered fine-grained quartz arenites and wackes proximal to contacts with granodiorite (see Figure 4). The alteration pattern coincides with the surface observations. Assay results from the program outline metal zonation along a northwest to southeast trend. In the northwestern part of the trend, SER-26-001 returned 0.51% Mo over 0.75 metres. In the central zone, results are highlighted by 0.47% Cu, 0.22 g/t Au and 6.76 g/t Ag over 4.30 metres in SER-26-006, as well as 0.17% Cu, 0.25 g/t Au and 2.10 g/t Ag over 6.10 metres (incl. 0.68% Cu, 1.26 g/t Au and 8.84 g/t Ag over 1.15 metres) in SER-26-002. In the southeastern part, results are highlighted by 0.39% Cu, 0.19 g/t Au, 12.14 g/t Ag, 0.49% Zn and 0.21% Pb over 4.05 metres in SER-26-003 (see Table 2 & Figure 3).The strongest IP chargeability anomaly, tested by the first drill hole of the program in the northwestern part of the trend, corresponds primarily to a magnetite- and sulphide-altered granodiorite. The overall sulphide content in this altered intrusion is low.Table 1: DDH Location InformationTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:

https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/11781/302601_harfang2.jpgNote: Assays are not capped and all lengths are reported as core lengths (true widths have not been determined).Geological Model and DiscussionObservations and assay results suggest a broad metal zonation pattern centred on the felsic intrusive system. Molybdenum is preferentially associated with the altered granodiorite intersected in SER-26-001. Copper-gold-silver mineralization occurs in proximal metasomatized clastic sedimentary rocks near granodiorite contacts, particularly in SER-26-002 and SER-26-006. Farther from the interpreted intrusive centre and along trend, SER-26-003 returned a distal polymetallic signature characterized by zinc, copper, lead, silver, and gold mineralization. This zonation supports the Company's interpretation of an intrusion-related hydrothermal system.The drill results also suggest that the hydrothermal system extends at depth. However, drill intercepts returned lower grades and narrower mineralized zones than observed at surface, typically ranging from 1 to 6 metres in core length compared with zones exceeding 10 metres in surface trenches. Drilling, Core Sampling Protocols, and Quality ControlThe drilling program was carried out by Forage Val-d'Or using NQ-diameter diamond-tipped drill bits. Drill core was transported daily from the drill site to the core logging facility. Under the supervision of Harfang geologists, core was systematically logged, photographed, and split in half using a core splitter. One half of the core was retained on site for reference, while the other half was sampled at regular intervals based on geological observations.All samples were securely bagged and transported to AGAT Laboratories in Val-d'Or. Gold was analysed by atomic absorption spectrometry following fire assay on a 50-gram split. Copper, silver, zinc, lead, and molybdenum were analysed using a four-acid digestion with ICP-OES/MS finish for a 50-element suite. Sample preparation and analytical procedures were carried out at AGAT facilities that are ISO/IEC 17025 accredited. A strict QA/QC protocol was implemented, with certified reference materials, blank samples, and field duplicates inserted into the sample stream at regular intervals. QA/QC results were reviewed and validated by the qualified person.Qualified PersonLudovic Bigot, P.Geo., VP Exploration of Harfang, prepared and approved the technical information contained in this news release.

Harfang Provides Winter Exploration UpdateApril 16, 2026 7:30 AM
NewsfileMontreal, Quebec--(Newsfile Corp. - April 16, 2026) - Harfang Exploration Inc. (TSXV: HAR) ("Harfang" or the "Company") provides an update on winter exploration activities across four of its wholly-owned projects in Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Québec, and Ontario: Serpent (Mista target), Menarik West, Blakelock, and Sky Lake (see Figure 1).HIGHLIGHTSAt Serpent, a maiden diamond drilling program was successfully completed at Mista. Preliminary core logging confirms the presence of a mineralized system associated with a felsic intrusive body. The first batch of assay results are anticipated in mid-May, with complete results expected by the end of May 2026.At Menarik West, a DC-IP survey was completed in partnership with SOQUEM that successfully delivered high-confidence drill targets at both Pierre and Cox. These targets will be the basis for the fully funded winter 2027 diamond drilling program.At Blakelock, the deep DC-IP survey is underway with all line-cutting complete, data collection progressing on schedule, and completion expected by end of April 2026. Results will be integrated into the 3D geological model to finalize drill targets for the winter 2027 diamond drilling program.At Sky Lake, the Company continues to positively engage with the Mishkeegogamang Ojibway Nation ("MON") regarding the Traditional Knowledge and Land Use Study ("TKLUS") that is required to advance field exploration.Rick Breger, President and CEO of Harfang, said, "This has been a highly productive winter exploration season for Harfang. At Serpent, our team successfully completed the first-ever drill test of the Mista target, a milestone we've been building toward through meticulous surface work. We look forward to sharing the first batch of results in mid-May. Equally importantly, our DC-IP survey at Menarik West, completed in partnership with SOQUEM, delivered what we were looking for: well-defined drill targets at both the Pierre intrusion and the Cox zone, underpinned by compelling subsurface chargeability data." "At Sky Lake, we are pleased to share that progress is being made with the Traditional Knowledge and Land Use Study. We remain genuinely committed to advancing Sky Lake in partnership with MON, and we believe the success of our maiden drill program warrants that patience and investment in the relationship." "Together with the ongoing work at Blakelock, we are entering the spring season with strong momentum across the portfolio."WINTER PROGRAM UPDATESerpentHarfang has successfully completed a maiden diamond drilling program at the Mista Cu-Au-Ag target at Serpent that totalled approximately 1,300 metres in 6 drill holes. The program was designed to test the main trend, a chargeability anomaly spanning more than 650 metres identified through surface exploration and the results of a 2020 DC-IP survey.Preliminary observations from core logging indicate an ESE-trending corridor of sulphide mineralization, quartz veining, and silica flooding associated with a felsic intrusive body and clastic sediments. This is consistent with the geological model developed from prospecting and geophysics. The Company expects to release the first batch of assay results in mid-May, with the complete set of results anticipated by the end of May 2026.Mista was discovered during Harfang's 2018 summer prospecting program and followed up with DC-IP in 2020 and additional surface exploration in 2024. Assay highlights include: 1.69% Cu, 0.96 g/t Au, 15.4 g/t Ag in a grab sample, and 1.00% Cu, 0.21 g/t Au, 7.9 g/t Ag over 12.9 m in a channel sample (see news releases dated October 11 and November 7, 2018).Menarik WestThe 15 km-line DC-IP survey at Menarik West, conducted in partnership with SOQUEM, has been completed. Integration of the new data with the existing geological and geochemical dataset is currently underway. The survey covered two key areas: the Pierre intrusion and the newly discovered Cox zone.At the Pierre intrusion, the survey successfully identified chargeability anomalies at depth, supporting the interpretation that the mineralized system remains open at depth. Harfang's 2023 drilling program intersected 1.15 g/t Au over 47 m (including 3.75 g/t Au over 7 m) commencing 95 m downhole (see news release dated May 11, 2023). The new data supports the prospectivity of this target.At the Cox zone, where surface exploration previously returned 19.2 g/t Au, 7.44 g/t Au, and 3.93 g/t Au in grab samples (see news release dated December 9, 2025), the survey has defined compelling drill targets supported by a strong, WSW-trending chargeability corridor that correlates well with surface results. Results suggest mineralization may extend more than 500 metres along strike.Overall, the Menarik West DC-IP program is considered a success, having generated high-confidence drill targets at both priority areas. These results will directly inform the planning of the fully funded 2027 diamond drilling program at Menarik West.BlakelockThe 60 km-line DC-IP survey focused on the eastern half of Blakelock is currently underway. All line-cutting has been completed, and the field team is progressing well with data collection. Survey completion expected by the end of April 2026.Results from the DC-IP survey will be integrated into the 3D geological model that Harfang is currently completing as part of its comprehensive data compilation effort. Together, these datasets will provide the final technical framework required to plan an effective diamond drilling program at Blakelock. Previous mineralization in the area are associated with disseminated sulphides and silica alteration in felsic tuffs. Assay results, reported by NewOrigin, were highlighted by 6.1 g/t Au over 6.0 m, 21.4 g/t Au over 1.5 m, and 17.8 g/t Au over 1.6 m.Sky LakeThe Company is pleased to report continued advancement in its engagement with MON at the Sky Lake Gold Project. As previously disclosed, MON required the completion of a TKLUS prior to advancing any field exploration efforts. The Company views continued engagement as an important and positive step toward resuming exploration at Sky Lake, where Harfang's maiden winter 2025 drill program indicated the presence of a probable continuous high-grade mineralized shoot that extended 250 metres downhole and open at depth.Qualified PersonLudovic Bigot, P.Geo., VP Exploration of Harfang, reviewed and approved the technical information contained in this news release.
