VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Feb. 16, 2011) - Harvest Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE:HVG) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has contracted Envirotech Drilling LLC to complete a Phase II drilling program at its Rosebud Gold Mine project in the Kamma Mountains in northwest Nevada, USA. Drilling is expected to begin within two weeks.


Up to 18 reverse circulation drill holes, totaling approximately 14,000 feet (4,270 m), are planned to test up to six targets within the Mine Footprint and adjacent anomalies. The drilling is designed to test high-grade targets developed through the Company's reinterpretation of geology, and to follow-up gold and silver intercepts from the Phase I drilling program completed in July, 2010.


Greg Hill, president of Harvest Gold Corp. (US), states: "We are eager to begin our Phase II drill program at Rosebud which is designed to expand important intercepts from the Phase I program and historical drilling, and to test several exciting new targets. The results of the Phase I drill program have now been fully integrated into the Company's geological model for Rosebud. They have led to new insights about mineralization in the Rosebud district. They also indicate strong potential for expansion of mineral zones and the discovery of new ore bodies within the property."
