Harte Gold Corp. announced an update on recent drilling completed on the company's 100% owned Sugar Zone Project. Highlights: A total of 138,000 meters were drilled in 2017, predominantly at the Sugar and Middle Zones to define and upgrade the mineralized envelope. Sugar Zone drilling continues to demonstrate ore body continuity with recent results, returning 15.81 g/t over 2.14 meters in SZ-17-226W4. Deep drilling southwest of the Sugar Zone continues to expand mineralization, returning 9.03 g/t over 2.43 meters in SZ-17-230. Drilling at the Middle Zone expands mineralization at depth, with drill hole WZ-17-107W3 returning 4.83 g/t over 3.35 meters. The company announced a new gold discovery, the K7 Zone, where an initial drill hole has returned a 5 meter intersection grading up to 1 g/t within an altered feldspar porphyry 200 meters below surface. This host rock is different than the classic Sugar Zone quartz shear zone and the company believes it has greater potential for large tonnages. The K7 Zone is located approximately 10 kilometers south of the Sugar Zone deposit on strike of the mineralized trend that includes the Wolf, Middle, Sugar and Lynx Zones. Follow up drilling will resume immediately on this target. P&E Mining Consultants Inc. have been engaged to prepare a National Instrument ("NI") 43-101 compliant resource estimate, targeting early first quarter of 2018 for release, incorporating: Upper Sugar Zone (<500 meters), targeting the Measured and Indicated Resource Categories; Sugar Zone Deep (500 to 1,000 meters), targeting the Inferred Resource Category; and Middle Zone, targeting the Indicated and Inferred Resource Categories. The company will complete an NI 43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") based on the 2018 Resource Update incorporating the Sugar Zone and Middle Zone areas. The Company will also complete a Technical Report for the Upper Sugar Zone outlining the mine plan and economics. A significant 80,000 meter drill program is planned for 2018 utilizing six to eight drill rigs to further define new discoveries at the Lynx, Moose, K7 and Wolf Zones, as well as test new target areas such as the Eagle Zone, with VMS style deposit potential. Construction continues at site with the mill building scheduled for completion by the end of January, 2018.
