09:48 AM EST, 02/03/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Harfang Exploration ( HRFEF ) on Tuesday announced fully-funded winter exploration plans for its portfolio of wholly-owned projects located in Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec, and in Ontario.

Among highlights, the company said that at Serpent, it will initiate a maiden diamond drilling program of approximately 10 holes totalling an estimated 1,500 meters focused on Mista, a 650-meter-long Cu-Au-Ag target that has never been drilled. The 3-week-long program will be completed by the end of March.

It also said that, at Menarik West, Harfang and SOQUEM have already begun direct current-induced polarization (DC-IP) surveys focused on the Pierre intrusion and the new Cox zone, where gold mineralization is associated with disseminated sulphides and silica alteration. It said that the survey will be completed by the end of February and will lead to generating drill targets for the fully funded 2027 diamond drilling program.

The company further added that, at Blakelock, it will complete a deep DC-IP survey focused on the eastern half of the property. With the data compilation now complete, this DC-IP survey is the final step to generating diamond drill targets for a 2027 diamond drilling program, said the company. This survey will be completed by the end of March.

"From a technical perspective, the winter 2026 program is designed to systematically advance each project," said Rick Breger, president and chief executive officer of Harfang. "At Serpent, drilling will test the Mista target, where coincident geological, geochemical, and geophysical indicators point to a shallow Cu-Au-Ag mineralized system. The DC-IP surveys at Menarik West and Blakelock are a critical step in identifying subsurface chargeability anomalies that can be directly translated into high-confidence diamond drill targets. Collectively, this work reflects Harfang's disciplined exploration approach, using modern geophysics and targeted drilling to efficiently evaluate and prioritize the most prospective assets as the Company moves into the next phase of exploration and discovery."
