An announcement from Lahontan Gold Corp. ( (TSE:LG) ) is now available.

Lahontan Gold Corp. reported final assay results from its 2025 maiden reverse-circulation drilling program at the West Santa Fe satellite project, 13 km from its Santa Fe Mine in Nevada. Key hole WSF25-04R returned 36.6 metres of oxide mineralization from surface grading 3.11 g/t gold equivalent, including 10.7 metres at 5.75 g/t, confirming a high-grade core in the South Zone that closely matches historic drilling.

Combined historic and recent drilling now outline a 500-by-350-metre, 35–60-metre-thick oxide gold-silver zone starting at surface, reinforcing the potential for low-cost open-pit mining and heap-leach processing. Lahontan’s technical team is refining models and planning a spring follow-up drilling campaign to test possible 1,000-metre strike extensions and down-dip targets, positioning West Santa Fe as a promising source of additional shallow oxide ounces to bolster the company’s resource base.
