Harfang Exploration Inc. Unveils Promising Gold Discovery at Sky Lake
In a significant development for the mining sector, Harfang Exploration Inc., a Montreal-based company specializing in gold and metal exploration, has announced a new gold discovery at its Sky Lake Gold Project in Ontario. This announcement, made on May 14, 2025, highlights the company’s successful maiden winter diamond drill program, which has yielded promising results.
A Breakthrough in Gold Exploration
The focus of the winter drilling was on the Koval patented claims within the Sky Lake Gold Project, located in the renowned Pickle Lake Gold District. Harfang’s exploration efforts have uncovered two high-grade mineralized zones within a kilometre-long shear zone, marking a significant milestone in the project’s development. The initial batch of drill results has provided early confirmation of a substantial mineralized gold system, a promising sign for the company and its stakeholders.
Impressive Drill Results
The highlight of the drilling program was the discovery of a 7.0 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) over 18.0 meters, including a remarkable 10.3 g/t Au over 8.2 meters, starting at a vertical depth of 40 meters below the surface in hole SLA-25-03. Additionally, a second discovery returned 2.0 g/t Au over 13.4 meters, including 4.9 g/t Au over 3.7 meters, in the same drill hole. These results underscore the potential of the Sky Lake Gold Project and the effectiveness of Harfang’s exploration strategies.
A Significant Gold System Uncovered
The discovery of two distinct mineralized zones along a major shear zone confirms the presence of a significant gold system. All three drill holes included in the announcement intersected gold mineralization and associated alteration patterns, characterized by quartz-sericite-biotite alteration envelopes with pyrite, pyrrhotite, and arsenopyrite finely disseminated and in stringers, accompanied by quartz-tourmaline shear. This geological setting is indicative of a robust gold system, offering promising prospects for further exploration and development.
Looking Ahead
Harfang Exploration Inc.’s recent discovery at the Sky Lake Gold Project represents a significant advancement in the company’s exploration efforts. With a market capitalization of 6,620,000 CAD and a focus on developing gold and other metal exploration projects across Canada, Harfang is well-positioned to capitalize on this discovery. The company’s ability to identify and develop significant mineralized zones underscores its expertise in the mining exploration sector and its potential for future growth.
As Harfang continues to explore the Sky Lake Gold Project, the mining community and investors will be keenly watching for further developments. This discovery not only highlights the potential of the Pickle Lake Gold District but also reinforces Harfang’s commitment to advancing its exploration projects and contributing to the materials sector in Canada.
