HARTE GOLD CORP. ("Harte Gold" or the "Company") (TSX: HRT / OTC: HRTFF / Frankfurt: H4O) announces Stephen G. Roman has stepped down as Chairman of the Board of Directors effective immediately. Joe Conway will replace Mr. Roman as Chairman of the Board. Mr. Roman will continue to serve as a member of the Board of Directors.

Stephen G. Roman commented, "Harte Gold has been a key focus of mine for the past 10 years. We advanced a green field Ontario gold project culminating in a new Ontario gold mine and declared commercial production in January 2019. The new operational team is doing a good job of getting the mine ramped up and on track. I expect the Sugar Zone Mine will be a solid producer for many years to come. I would like to thank our longstanding shareholders for their support in developing Harte Gold over the past 10 years and Appian Capital Advisory for their significant investment and support for my vision of developing a new gold mine in Ontario which also holds significant exploration potential for new discoveries."

Joe Conway, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Harte Gold commented, "I am pleased to take the Chairman role with Harte Gold and want to recognize the significant accomplishments of the previous Chair. Without Stephen's drive and enthusiasm, this Company would not be where it is today."
