Egan Gold Property is situated in the prolific Abitibi gold camp and has been a focus of Harfang’s exploration efforts, which have identified several high-priority targets.
The property was initially optioned following the discovery of the E1 Zone, where logging activities uncovered a north-east-trending shear zone with a network of quartz veins within a syenite host.
Harfang president and CEO Rick Breger said: “We are pleased to proceed with the acquisition of a 100% interest in Egan.
“From the beginning, it has delivered solid results from our exploration campaigns with numerous targets to follow up on.
“We are particularly intrigued by the delineation of a large, gold-in-soil anomaly south of the E1 high-grade gold occurrence, adding another high-priority target, as well as the E1 South discovery that returned an altered syenite grab sample assaying 25g/t [grams per tonne] gold.”
In January 2022, Harfang Exploration entered an agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of LaSalle Exploration.
