Harfang Generates the Kali Property Near Azimut’s Patwon Gold Discovery Following Claim Acquisition (James Bay, Québec)

MONTREAL, Jan. 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Harfang Exploration Inc. (“Harfang”) (TSX-V: HAR) is pleased to announce the generation of the new Kali Property (the “Property”) in the vicinity of Azimut Exploration’s Patwon gold discovery (James Bay, Québec) (Figure 1). The Property is made up of 194 mineral claims (10,232 ha) entirely owned by Harfang.
The Property covers significant grounds along the Middle and Lower Eastmain Greenstone Belt (MLEGB) near the contact between the La Grande and Nemiscau-Opinaca geological subprovinces. This contact is spatially associated with significant gold deposits and occurrences (eg. Eleonore mine, and Cheechoo and La Pointe prospects). The Property is divided into two separate claim blocks plus two isolated claims. One of them, located inside Azimut’s Elmer Property, was acquired by Harfang in 2018.Rock assemblages on the Property, as mapped by the ministère de l’Énergie et des Ressources naturelles du Québec, are similar to those described by Azimut in the surroundings of the discovery (see TSX-V AZM’s press release dated on January 14, 2020 / 3.15 g/t Au over 102.0 m). As evidenced by the Québec Government regional magnetic survey, rock units in the western claim block are strongly affected by a major NE-SW dextral deformation corridor along the northwestern edge of the MLEGB. This corridor merges with the east-west contact between both subprovinces inside the Property limits offering favorable structural traps for gold mineralization.The Kali Project is located 280 km north of Matagami. The western block is located 20 km east of Eastmain’s Cree Community and is accessible by air transportation or by boat along the Eastmain River. The eastern block is located immediately west of the James Bay paved road and is easily accessible by ground transportation. The region benefits from quality infrastructure including roads, hydroelectric power supply and airports.Harfang is currently compiling historical geological data along this portion of the greenstone belt which will evolve in designing the first exploration program on this new property.To view FIGURE 1, please click here.Cautionary StatementThe claims were recently staked by map designation by Harfang with the ministère de l’Énergie et des Ressources naturelles du Québec and are currently pending registration.
