Quinton Hennigh, Geologic and Technical Advisor at Crescat Capital LLC states: ‘Harvest Gold has, in my view, a very attractive land position over a highly prospective greenstone belt that hosts the nearby Windfall deposit. Although in the early stage, Harvest Gold’s team collected solid geophysical and geochemical data that define some compelling green field targets. They are now set to conduct their first drill program to test these targets. I find it refreshing to see a company tackle something bold and new like this and look forward to seeing what they encounter.’
Rick Mark, President and CEO of Harvest Gold states: ‘We are grateful to Crescat and the outstanding group of investors who have supported us in this round and over the past two year as we established ourselves in Quebec. I am very pleased to say that the drilling at Mosseau will begin shortly and that, concurrently, we will be exploring Urban Barry and Labelle for the first time.’
Each CFT Unit is comprised of one common share of the Company (each, a ‘ Common Share ‘) and one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each, a ‘ Warrant ‘), each of which qualifies as a ‘flow-through share’ (within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)). Each Unit consists of one Common Share and one Warrant. Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share (each, a ‘ Warrant Share ‘) at a price of $0.12 per Warrant Share for a period of two years following the closing date of the Offering (the ‘ Expiry Date ‘).
The Company anticipates using the proceeds from the issue and sale of the Units for the 2025 drilling campaign, various other exploration expenses and general working capital.
The gross proceeds raised from the CFT Units will be used by the Company to incur eligible ‘Canadian exploration expenses’ that qualify as ‘flow-through mining expenditures’ (as both terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)) (the ‘ Qualifying Expenditures ‘) related to the Company’s projects in Québec. The Company will renounce Qualifying Expenditures with an effective date of no later than December 31, 2025, in an amount of not less than the total amount of the gross proceeds raised from the issuance of the CFT Units, and incur such expenses by December 31, 2026.
All securities issued will be subject to a four-month hold period pursuant to securities laws in Canada, expiring on December 1, 2025.
