Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSXV: LG | OTCQB: LGCXF) has provided an update on its Exploration Plan of Operations (EPOO) for the Santa Fe Mine project that was submitted to the US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in November 2024.
Based on a recent meeting with the BLM, the company expects them to issue a formal completeness determination for the EPOO, allowing the permitting process to enter the NEPA phase (National Environmental Policy Act) shortly.
Kimberly Ann, Lahontan Gold Corp CEO, chair, and founder, commented, “Lahontan is pleased with the progress that the BLM has made with its review of the Santa Fe Mine EPOO. When approved, the EPOO will permit up to 750 drill holes at Santa Fe, allowing the company to unlock the exploration potential of the project. In the meantime, Lahontan will be able to continue resource expansion and metallurgical drilling programmes under a NOI, continuing to advance Santa Fe towards mine development.”
Final approval of the EPOO remains on track for late 2025. In the interim, Lahontan will continue exploration drilling at the Santa Fe Mine under a Notice of Intent (NOI) and on its patented mining claims.
