HRT Harte Gold Corp (Tier 2)

HARTE GOLD CORP. ("Harte") (TSX VENTURE:HRT)(FRANKFURT:H4O) announced today that
Orbit Garant Drilling Services Inc. is mobilizing equipment to site to begin the
10,000 meter diamond drill program as part of the next phase of exploration on
the Sugar Zone property. The rigs have arrived and will commence drilling this
week.


The drill program will consist of:



--  In-fill drilling from surface to 300 meters on the Sugar Zone deposit to
    upgrade Inferred Resources to Measured and Indicated Reserves, 
--  Exploration drilling to delineate resources at depth, discovered during
    the March 2010 drill program, 
--  Exploration drilling to extend the current 800 meter strike length of
    the Sugar Zone deposit and, 
--  Drill Induced Polarization ("IP") and Magnetometer ("Mag") survey
    targets in the area between the Wolf Zone and Sugar Zone deposits. 



Harte will incorporate the results from this drill program to create a block
model of the deposit and update the current NI 43-101 report. Feasibility
Studies continue on the Sugar Zone deposit which will incorporate updated NI
43-101 data to complete mine planning.


Fold Closure Area

Harte is in the process of receiving bids for an IP and Mag survey on the
recently discovered "fold nose" (see News Release dated January 6, 2011) located
five kilometres northwest of the Wolf Zone. This type of geological formation is
often associated with elevated gold concentrations and will be drill tested once
the geophysical surveys are completed.


Stephen G. Roman, President of Harte Gold Corp. commented "We are looking
forward to the next phase of exploration at the Sugar Zone Property. With our
flow through raise of $2,472,500 completed in December 2010, we are well
positioned to continue exploration and development efforts during 2011."


Exploration Agreement

Harte also announced that it has signed an Exploration Agreement (the
"Agreement") with the Pic Mobert First Nation ("PMFN"). The Agreement defines
the terms under which the PMFN and Harte will cooperate during the exploration
phase of the project. Terms of the Agreement include the payment of $17,500
towards advisory costs, an annual payment of $2,000 to facilitate community
consultation, training and employment opportunities and the issuance of 500,000
options to acquire common shares of Harte at an exercise price of $0.47 for a
period of five years. Any options remaining unvested at the end of the five year
term will be renewed for a further five year period. Harte and PMFN will enter
into good faith negotiations regarding an Impact Benefits Agreement once the
bankable feasibility study is completed and prior to mine construction.

between Harte and Aboriginal communities. Ms. Stirbys is an experienced
