<div id="readability-page-1"><div>(TheNewswire)Vancouver, British Columbia –TheNewswire - April 16, 2026 ‑ Harvest Gold Corporation (“Harvest Gold” or the “Company”) ispleased to announce that its geological team has now been able todefine fifty (50) drill targets along the 32-kilometre length of theKiask River Mineralized Corridor (KRMC) within its 100% controlled,now combined Mosseau/LaBelle property in the Urban Barry Belt, Quebec(Figures 6, Figure 7). Harvest Gold has prioritized twenty (20) targets for its planned 2026 drill program in the central part of theMosseau property (Figure 5).Eleven (11) of those twenty (20) priority targets arealong a two-kilometre stretch of a critical magnetic high feature (seeFigures 4,3,2). At least eightof those holes will be within 500 meters of the Discovery hole, whichassayed 105 grams over 1.15 metres (MO-25-05) as announced on February11, 2026 of this year.” (Figure 1).Rick Mark, President and CEO of Harvest Gold, states:“Last year, in our maiden drill program, we drilled twenty-oneexploratory holes over approximately 9 kilometres of the Mosseauproperty. Since then, we have acquired 24 claims and nowfully control the Mosseau/LaBelle property, which includes theentirety of the 32 kilometre long Kiask River Mineralized Corridor.This year, after analyzing 2025 drill results, revisiting historicaldata bases and adding new geochemistry and prospecting results, wehave 50 defined drill targets along the 32 kilometres, but will focuson 20 holes emanating from our 2025 Discovery Hole.”The most significant exploration results of the programwere obtained in the central area along the KMRC, which had seen verylimited historical exploration. Drilling in this area confirmed thepresence of a continuous gold-bearing corridor and returned high-grademineralization, including an intersection of 105.0 g/t Au over 1.15 metres which included visible gold, 4.3 g/t Ag and 464 ppm Cu,occurring between 120.9 m and 122.5 m down the hole in DDH 25-25.This interval occurs within a broader halo oflower-grade mineralization and is supported by several additionalintercepts along strike that demonstrate both continuity and scale,including 0.50 g/t Au over 16.35 metres (MO-25-026) and 0.76 g/t Auover 5.85 metres (MO-25-027), 0.22 g/t Au over 16.0 metres(MO-25-028). Collectively, thedrilling defines a mineralized corridor up to 16 metres wide, tracedover approximately three kilometres and tested only to shallow depthsof roughly 100 metres. The system remains openin all directions and represents a compelling exploration target forfuture work.Click Image To View Full SizeFigure 1: Geology - 8 Proposed drilltargets along the KRMC (1 km)Click Image To View Full SizeFigure 2: Geology - 11 Proposed drill targets along the KRMC(3km)Click Image To View Full SizeFigure 3: Magnetics - 11 Proposeddrill targets along the KRMC (3 km)Click Image To View Full SizeFigure 4: Soil Geochem - 11 Proposeddrill targets along the KRMC (3 km)Click Image To View Full SizeFigure 5: Geology - 20 Prioritydrill targets in Central area.

(AGAT), with sample preparation in Val-d’Or, Québec andanalysis in Thunder Bay, Ontario, where samples were processed forgold analysis by 50-gram fire assay with an atomic absorption finish.Samples from selected holes were securely sent to AGAT in Calgary,Alberta, for multi-element analysis (including silver) by inductivelycoupled plasma (ICP) method with a four-acid digestion. AGAT samplepreparation and laboratory analysis procedures conform to requirementsof ISO/IEC Standard 17025 guidelines and meet the requirements underNI 43-101 and CIM best practice guidelines. AGAT is independent ofHarvest Gold.Grab samples reported in this news release werecollected by company personnel in accordance with industry standardpractices. Grab samples are selective by nature and may not berepresentative of the underlying mineralization.The historical drilling results disclosed herein werecompleted by previous operators and have not been independentlyverified by the Company. While the Company considers these historicalresults to be relevant and reliable for exploration purposes, readersare cautioned that a qualified person has not completed sufficientwork to verify the data. Accordingly, the Company is treating theseresults as historical in nature. Verification ofhistorical data, including confirmation drilling, may be requiredbefore the information can be relied upon for economic or resourceestimation purposes.About Harvest Gold CorporationHarvest Gold is focused on exploring for near-surfacegold deposits and copper-gold porphyry deposits in politically stablemining jurisdictions.

Harvest Gold Corporation has defined 50 drill targets along the Kiask River Mineralized Corridor in Quebec, prioritizing 20 for its 2026 drill program. The focus is on a two-kilometre stretch near the Discovery hole, which previously assayed 105 grams of gold over 1.15 metres. The drilling aims to explore a continuous gold-bearing corridor, with significant mineralization confirmed in earlier tests. The company emphasizes strict quality control in its sampling and analysis processes, adhering to industry standards. Harvest Gold is dedicated to exploring gold and copper-gold deposits in stable mining jurisdictions.
