GOLD: Harte cuts bonanza grades – 115.49 g/t – at Sugar zone

ONTARIO – Toronto’s Harte Gold Corp. has begun development at the Sugar Zone property 60 km east of the Hemlo gold camp near White River. And the company continues its 75,000-metre, six-rig drill program and other exploration at the site. Excellent assays have been received from the Sugar zone, Middle zone, and four new zones have been drilled.

Hole SZ-17-165 returned 35.49 g/t gold over 2.24 metres, including 92.90 g/t over 0.83 metre. Five other holes in the zone had grades close to 1.0 oz./ton over lengths roughly 1.5 metres. (All grades are uncut.) Results from the Middle zone were exceptional in the north-south direction with expanding widths at depth. Harte says that points toward convergence with the Sugar zone. The best assays came from Hole WZ-17-75W2 that returned 8.03 g/t gold over 7.56 metres, including 14.56 g/t over 3.83 metres. Hole WZ-17-75W returned 6.52 g/t gold over 9.57 metres, including 17.34 g/t over 2.84 metres. Neither did hole WZ-17-69 disappoint; it returned 8.27 g/t gold over 4.02 metres, including 33.60 g/t over 0.49 metre. The four new zones that Harte has identified – Lynx, Marten, Moose and Fisher – were compiled from a property-wide airborne magnetometer survey. Lynx and Fisher are located on-strike with the Sugar zone and exhibit similar characteristics. The Marten and Moose zones have host rock similar to Barrick’s Hemlo mine, but they have not been explored.
