Sky Lake Project
Article content
The Sky Lake Gold Project is a 9,100-hectare land package located in the Pickle Lake Gold Camp of northwestern Ontario. The project includes the Koval patented claims, which were the focus of Harfang’s winter 2025 drill program.
Article content
In March 2025, the Company completed six diamond drill holes totaling approximately 1,400 metres on the Koval Claims. The program was designed using modern 3D geological modeling of historical drill data, much of which dates from the 1950s through the 1980s and was largely limited to shallow depths.

Drilling successfully delineated a continuous high-grade mineralized shoot that remains open at depth and along strike, supporting the potential for further expansion with additional work.

Community Engagement and Next Steps
Article content
Harfang continues to engage constructively with MON regarding exploration activities at Sky Lake. A draft Exploration Agreement has been substantially negotiated and remains under review by MON leadership.
Article content
MON has advised the Company that completion of a TKLUS will be necessary prior to advancing the permitting processes. Harfang and MON are currently in active discussions to determine the appropriate next steps with respect to the proposed study. These discussions are focused on clarifying the timing, scope, budget, and process for completing the study, as well as establishing a clear framework for coordination between the parties. Exploration activities remain paused as these active discussions with MON continue and the Company cannot provide certainty on the timelines for completion of the TKLUS or the resumption of exploration activities at Sky Lake.
