Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSXV: LG | OTCQB: LGCXF | FSE: Y2F) has reported additional assay results from its 2025 maiden drilling programme at the West Santa Fe Project, located 13km from the company’s flagship Santa Fe Mine in Nevada’s Walker Lane. The latest results include two reverse‑circulation drill holes targeting shallow oxide gold and silver mineralisation.
Hole WSF25‑03R returned 41.2m grading 1.94 g/t AuEq from 15.2m, including a high‑grade interval of 9.1m at 4.14 g/t AuEq from 42.7m. The hole also contained individual assays up to 12.88 g/t AuEq, reflecting a fault‑controlled, east–west trending structure that hosts higher‑grade mineralisation within this part of the system. The intercept correlates with mineralisation reported in historical drilling (hole M81‑61), supporting Lahontan’s ongoing work to validate legacy data across West Santa Fe.
A second hole, WSF25‑01R, intersected 6.1m grading 1.53 g/t AuEq from 38.1m. The target lies on the eastern extent of the southern mineralised zone, where the system remains open towards an area containing historical underground workings and anomalous surface geochemistry.
Kimberly Ann, executive chair, president, CEO, and founder of Lahontan Gold, commented, “The high‑grade drill results seen in WSF25‑03R confirm the tenor and distribution of gold and silver mineralisation seen in historic drilling at West Santa Fe. The Company is excited that these initial results are very similar to, in terms of both grade and geometry, assays reported for the older drilling. Given the apparent size of the hydrothermal system, Lahontan believes that there is significant upside to the West Santa Fe project and the project has the potential to augment Mineral Resources already defined at the nearby Santa Fe Mine project. Additional drilling is planned for West Santa Fe this Spring.”
Lahontan also released the final results from its 2025 RC drilling at the York deposit, part of the main Santa Fe Mine Project. Two drill holes were abandoned due to fault‑related ground conditions, while others targeted the outer margins of the York system to support mine planning. A condemnation hole drilled into the historic waste rock dump, YOR25‑07R, returned 12.2m grading 0.27 g/t gold from surface—suggesting that portions of the dump may contain gold‑bearing material of potential economic interest, given the historical cut‑off grade of approximately 0.5 g/t gold.
Additional results from West Santa Fe are expected shortly as Lahontan continues to advance its satellite oxide gold system alongside development at the flagship Santa Fe Mine.
