The World Needs New Major Discoveries
TSXV:HVG www.harvestgoldcorp.com
Harvest Gold’s New Acquisition |Cerro Cascaron
A high grade, epithermal gold/silver discovery in the Sierra Madre Occidental, Chihuahua, Mexico
Showing coarse visible gold (1,670 g/t Au) from SerpienteDorado prospect
TSXV:HVG www.harvestgoldcorp.com
§ 69 km2 project encompassing a new high-grade epithermal gold/silver district located in the
Sierra Madre Occidental (SMO) region of Chihuahua state, Mexico
§ Bonanza grades of up to 1,670 g/t Au and 1,490 g/t Ag in main gold field
§ Gold – rich, low sulfidation epithermal system – similar to La Cienega and Palmarejo;
§ 16 quartz and quartz-breccia veins up to 25 m wide, 1800 m long and 900 m vertical extent
§ Sampling of adits at Cascarita returned five channel sample cuts with widths of 1.4 to 3.3 metres
that grade between 231 and 542 g/t silver equivalent*;
§ Road accessible, but no modern exploration
A Company Making Opportunity | Cerro Cascaron
NEVER DRILLED
TSXV:HVG www.harvestgoldcorp.com
Located in a Prolific Belt of World Class Gold and Silver mines | ‘Elephant Country’
Cerro Cascaron is 55 km southeast of Goldcorp’s past producing 1.75 M oz Au El Sauzal Gold mine
Other major mines in SMO:
Palmarejo (1.25 M oz Au; 82 M oz Ag)
Ocampo (2.5 M oz Au; 118 M oz Ag)
Mulatos (4.7 M oz Au)

§ Discovered Cerro Cascaron Opportunity
§ “I believe we are on the verge of making a district scale discovery with thisundrilled opportunity” – Alain Charest
§ Former VP of Exploration for Francisco Gold Corp. and Chesapeake Gold;credited with the discovery and development of:
§ The ~1.75M+ ounce El Sauzal gold deposit in Mexico (acquired byGlamis Gold in 2002 for $344 million);
§ The co-discovery of the ~5M ounce (gold equivalent) Marlin gold-silver deposit in Guatemala in 2000 (now owned by Goldcorp);
§ The ~1.2M+ ounce La India gold deposit (acquired by Agnico-Eagle in takeover of Grayd Resource Corporation in 2011 in transaction valued at $275 million; and
§ The discovery of the ~18.5M gold, 526M ounce silver Metates project owned by Chesapeake Gold.

§ Drillhole planning from Harvest Phase 1 program completed;
§ Priority One targets directly beneath sampled surface mineralization
§ Priority Two stepping out from known mineralization, targeting structural intersections and geochemical signatures
§ Proposed ~3000 meter initial program targeting six veins at Cascaron and two veins at Cascarita. Hole depths of 50-300 meters.
