Lahontan Gold Advances West Santa Fe Exploration with BLM Submission

Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSXV: LG) (OTCQB: LGCXF), a Canadian mine development company, has taken a significant step forward in its Nevada operations by submitting a Notice of Operations to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management for its planned exploration drilling program at the West Santa Fe Project. Located just 13 kilometers southwest of the company's flagship Santa Fe Mine Project, this initiative represents Lahontan's first drilling campaign at West Santa Fe. The comprehensive notice covers multiple drill sites, access roads, and drilling sumps as the company prepares to twin historic holes, drill down-dip, and test mineralization along strike. Historical work totaling 171 drill holes over 13,000 meters has already outlined shallow, oxidized gold and silver mineralization near the historic Mindora underground mine, providing a solid foundation for Lahontan's upcoming exploration efforts.

Kimberly Ann, Lahontan's Founder, Chair, CEO, and President, emphasized the strategic importance of this development, stating that once approved, the company will validate the extensive historic drill hole database and expand the footprint of disseminated gold and silver mineralization at West Santa Fe. This announcement comes as part of Lahontan's broader strategy to advance its portfolio of four top-tier gold and silver exploration properties in Nevada's Walker Lane region. The company's flagship Santa Fe Mine project boasts impressive credentials, including past production of 359,202 ounces of gold and 702,067 ounces of silver between 1988 and 1995, along with a Canadian National Instrument 43-101 compliant Indicated Mineral Resource of 1,539,000 oz Au Eq and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 411,000 oz Au Eq. The technical content has been reviewed and approved by Michael Lindholm, CPG, Independent Consulting Geologist to Lahontan Gold Corp., ensuring compliance with industry standards.
