Dear Harvest Gold followers,
Greetings to you all.
It has been over two years since we have sent you an e-mail “blast”. We are about to return to exploring for Gold and, at the same time, we will be searching for more advanced Gold opportunities, so it is time to reconnect with you.
This blast has two purposes. First, we have a responsibility to you regarding Canada’s anti-spam law and, second, I want to share the news that we have a very experienced Nova Scotian joining our Board of Directors.
Regarding the anti-spam law:
You currently receive email communications from Harvest Gold alerting you of news releases regarding our company’s business, industry activity that might impact our business and news regarding our quarterly and year-end financial and operating results.
We value and respect our relationship with you, and would like to continue providing you with information about Harvest Gold. In accordance with Canada’s anti-spam law effective July 1, 2014, we require your consent to continue sending you such communications.
To keep receiving these e-mail blasts from Harvest Gold, you will need to sign up again. It's very simple.
Since the website is under construction as we are moving towards the amalgamation with Canasur, it will take two steps. First, hit the link below and second, hit the x on the corner of the under construction sign to take you to the signup page. All we require is your email address.
I consent
Thank you.
Regarding our new Director, Joel Matheson:
As you will read below, Joel has a very impressive history in business, politics and volunteering in Nova Scotia. He has been instrumental in establishing and maintaining the opportunities in Suriname that Harvest Gold is about to acquire via our announced Amalgamation with Canasur Gold, a private Halifax based Company. For more information on the transaction, please refer to the February 17, 2016 news release.
I look forward to being in touch regularly in the coming months.
Best regards,
Rick Mark
President and CEO
