West Santa Fe Project Expanded By Staking

TORONTO - Lahontan Gold Corp has acquired an additional 794 hectares of mineral rights at its West Santa Fe Project, located only 15 km West of Lahontan's Flagship asset, the Santa Fe Mine, in Nevada's Walker Lane. West Santa Fe now covers a of total 19.7 km2, the new mineral rights were acquired by low-cost staking of 95 unpatented lode mining claims by Lahontan's technical and management team.

Kimberly Ann, Founder, CEO, President, and Director, said, "Our geologic team studied the data we acquired by optioning the West Santa Fe Project and concluded that there is room for significant resource expansion outside the previously existing claim group. The new unpatented mining claims also cover areas that could be used for potential future mining infrastructure such as heap-leach pads and waste rock dumps. Lahontan's land holdings in Nevada now total 57 km2, giving the Company a dominant land position in the Walker Lane."
