01:08 PM EST, 02/19/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Harfang Exploration ( HRFEF ) shares were last seen up 21% after the company on Wednesday said it is launching a winter exploration-drilling program at its recently acquired Sky Lake Gold Project located in Ontario's Pickle Lake Gold District.

Drilling will focus on the Koval patented claims and is expected to total approximately 2,500 meters in 12 drill holes.

"We are very excited to announce this long-overdue drill program at Sky Lake," said chief executive Rick Breger. "The Koval claims have not been meaningfully explored since the mid-1980's and we believe there is significant gold potential."

Harfang shares were last seen up $0.015 to $0.085 on the TSX Venture Exchange.
