Drilling Demonstrates Consistency Of Mineralization At Hot Spot Zone

VANCOUVER - Walker River Resources Corp. reported on reverse circulation (RC) drill program at the Lapon Canyon portion of the Lapon Gold Project, located within the Walker Lane Gold trend, 60 km SE of Yerington, NV. Drill hole LC-24-122 returned 2.62 g/t Au over 41.1 meters starting at a depth of 51.8 meters including an intercept of 6.81 g/t Au over 7.6 meters, demonstrating the robust nature and consistency of the gold mineralization at the Hotspot zone. Drill holes LC-24-120 and LC-24-121 did not reach the presumed position of the Hotspot zone, due to drill set up problems that forced drilling to be carried out at shallow angles. Notably and unexpectedly, in LC-24-120, gold mineralization was discovered in the overlying granite returning 1.11 g/t Au over 10.7 meters at a depth of 64.0 meters. The bottom of the hole returned 0.53 g/t Au over 24.4 meters signifying the presumed proximity to the Hotspot zone lurking just below. LC-24-121 also returned gold mineralization at the end of the hole, including 0.62 g/t Au in the last 1.5 meters.

The 2024 drill programs at Lapon Canyon were exploration and definition focused. Drill holes were planned with the intent to define the extent and geometry of the mineralized system and test for new mineralized zones along strike and at depth. Drilling at Lapon Canyon is carried out in different directions (azimuths) from the same drill pad, for systematic drilling on section, drill pads are placed at every 30 to 60 meters, with up to five holes per pad.

Previous and current drilling continue to define a sub to horizontal geometry of the gold system. High grade shoots may have developed within the broader mineralized domains. Drillholes LC-24-123, 124, 125 were all drilled from the same drill pad located at the juncture of the uppermost drill access road. This is located within fresh granite (the top of these holes are mineralized) over 100 meters north of the interpreted projection of the Hotspot zone. Drilling was carried out here to gain geological bedrock knowledge, drillhole LC-24-123 returned no significant results. However, significant gold mineralization was encountered in LC-24-124 and LC-24-125. LC-24-124 returned 0.37 g/t Au over 7.6 m starting at 0 m and 1.91 g/t Au over 6.1 meters starting at 117.4 meters. LC-24-125 returned 0.41 g/t Au over 7.6 meters starting at 0 m and 0.56 g/t Au over 4.6 meters starting at 94.5 meters.

Michel David, President & CEO said, “We continue to be excited by the results from Lapon Canyon. Even in what is believed to be barren rock, we received encouraging results. We cannot take any portion of the project for granted, as gold may be found in the most unexpected places. The need for considerable drilling is evident, and the arrival of our partners Nevada Canyon Gold Corp, now makes this possible. We look forward to additional results from Lapon Canyon and very excited with our ongoing and future exploration.”
