Vancouver, BC / January 7, 2016 – Harvest Gold Corporation (TSX.V: HVG) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce the appointment of David Mosher as a Director of the Company, effective immediately. Mr. Mosher is a mining executive with over thirty-five years experience in Australia, Canada, the United States, Russia, Asia and Africa. Over the past decade he has been active in the restructuring, financing and management of a number of resource companies, both private and public. Currently he is an independent director for three public companies.
Most notably in Mr. Mosher’s career, from 1992 to 2008, he was the President and CEO of High River Gold Mines Ltd., a Toronto Stock Exchange listed company involved in the exploration, development and production of gold. In late 1992 he negotiated a JV with TVX Gold Inc. to put the New Britannia Gold Mine in Manitoba, Canada into production, acquired a major equity interest in two producing Russian gold mines and completed a Mining Investment Agreement with the government of Burkina Faso allowing exploration, development and production on the advanced Taparko property. He was responsible for equity financing of over $300 million to support the company’s growth from 1993, which included the development of two open pit mines: the Taparko Gold mine in Burkina Faso, West Africa and the Berezitovoye Gold mine in Russia.
Also noteworthy, as Project Manager of Pancontinental Mining Limited (PML) from 1972 to 1974, a joint venture between PML and Getty Oil, he led the team that discovered and outlined the world’s largest uranium deposit at that time, the Jabiluka uranium project in the Northern Territory of Australia.
Rick Mark, President and CEO of Harvest Gold, states: “I have known and worked with Dave for almost ten years and am delighted he is joining the Company’s Board. His experience speaks for itself. Very few in our industry of exploring, discovering, financing, developing and operating mines have successfully executed all phases of the business and Dave has done it successfully in varied jurisdictions around the world. He is an outstanding geologist and an excellent communicator and adds depth and knowledge to our Board.”
On behalf of the Board of Directors
Rick Mark,
President and CEO,
Harvest Gold Corporation
