Significant Gold Intercepts At The Lapon Gold Project

VANCOUVER — Walker River Resources Corp. reported on the 2024 reverse circulation (RC) drill program at the Lapon Canyon portion of the Lapon Gold Project, in Mineral County, Nevada, 60 km SE of Yerington, Nevada. Drill hole LC-24-117 returned 3.88 g/t Au over 77.72 meters starting at a depth of 74.68 meters including an intercept of 12.09 g/t Au over 16.77 meters, demonstrating the robust nature of the gold mineralization of the Hotspot zone. Drill holes LC-24-114 (0.61 g/t Au over 155.45 metres), LC-24-118 (1.96 g/t Au over 59.44 metres), and LC-24-113 (2.58 g/t Au over 27.34 meters) were also drilled in the Hotspot, clearly demonstrating continuity of the gold mineralization. LC-24-114 was shutdown in mineralization (0.14 g/t Au over 36.58 metres) at a vertical depth of approximately 140 metres and extends Hotspot to the south another 40 metres. Drill hole LC-24-110 intercepted 2.70 g/t Au over 33.53 meters and LC-24-113 (2.58 g/t over 27.34 meters). These intercepts extend Hotspot Zone west, toward the Central Zone by approximately 50 metres.

Notably, LC-24-117, which was drilled to a depth of 152.4 meters remained in gold mineralization at the bottom of the hole, with the interval from 128.02 meters to the bottom returning 0.96 g/t Au over 24.38 metres. This intercept is at approximately 120 m vertical depth, highlighting the zone’s potential at depth. LC-24-119 also drilled to depth of 152 meters and remained in mineralization at the bottom of the hole, with the interval from 124.97 meters to the bottom returning 1.23 g/t Au over 27.43 metres. This intercept extends mineralization at Hotspot approximately 50 m to the southeast from all previous holes drilled.

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.

Michel David, President & CEO, said, “We are extremely encouraged by these current and past drill results which continue to confirm the potential of the project. We look forward to additional results from Lapon Canyon and very excited with our ongoing interpretation of the gold mineralization at Lapon Canyon.”
