Lahontan Gold Corp (TSXV: LG | OTCQB: LGCXF) has announced high-grade gold results from rock-chip sampling at its West Santa Fe Project in Walker Lane, Nevada.
Results came back with up to 13.54g/t Au Eq, ranging from 0.13g/t to 13.54g/t Au Eq. Four rock-chip samples from outcrop in the main Au and Ag mineralized zone ranged from 2.71 to 13.54g/t Au Eq and averaged 7.30g/t Au Eq.
“The results of rock-chip sampling at West Santa Fe, part of our due diligence process, confirms the presence of outcropping high-grade Au and Ag mineralization at West Santa Fe,” commented Kimberly Ann, Lahontan CEO, founder, president, and director.
“The analysis of historic soil geochemical data is exciting as it outlines significant soil anomalies well removed from the main mineralized area that may represent ‘leakage’ along northeast-trending strictures from shallowly buried Au and Ag mineralization.”
Lahontan geologists also completed detailed statistical analysis of historic soil geochemical data from West Santa Fe, the results show a remarkable correlation with known mineralized areas and outline multiple targets for further exploration.
Silver is an important component of the precious metal system at West Santa Fe. The four rock-chip samples collected from outcrop in the main mineralized zone have Ag values that range from 90 to 857g/t Ag, and average 282g/t Ag.
Silver-in-soil geochemistry data parallel and reinforce the arsenic-in-soil data and will help guide future exploration at West Santa Fe away from the main mineralized area. Further rock-chip and soil sampling are planned for the project.
