Lahontan Gold Corp (TSXV: LG | OTCQB: LGCXF) has received official notice from the US Bureau of Land Management that its Exploration Plan of Operations (POO) for the Santa Fe Mine Project in Nevada is now considered complete.
This milestone enables the project to move into full environmental assessment under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The completeness determination reflects over two years of environmental baseline studies, including biological, cultural, and historical resource assessments, which will also support future permitting such as a Mine Plan of Operations.
The approved POO allows for exploration across more than 12 square kilometers and covers over 700 proposed drill sites. Lahontan expects to finalize the NEPA review and receive full POO approval in the fourth quarter of 2025, paving the way for a robust drilling campaign in 2026.
CEO Kimberly Ann emphasized that this approval empowers the company to unlock the project’s “tremendous untapped potential” as it progresses toward returning the Santa Fe Mine to production.
