Significant Gold Intercepts At The Lapon Canyon Gold Project

VANCOUVER – Walker River Resources Corp. reported on its ongoing reverse circulation (RC) drill program at the Lapon Canyon portion of the Lapon Gold Project, located within Nevada’s Prolific Walker Lane Gold trend, 60 km SE of Yerington, NV.
Drill hole LC-25-150 returned 3.35 g/t Au over 64.0 meters starting at 149.4 meters, including 8.01 g/t Au over 19.9 m demonstrating the robust nature and continuity of the gold mineralization at Lapon Canyon. Drill hole LC-24-156 returned 2.17 g/t Au over 86.9 meters starting at 126.5 meters including 3.92 g/t Au over 45.7 metres and 21.8 g/t Au over 4.6 meters Drill hole LC-25-154 returned 1.38 g/t Au over 68.6 meters starting at 97.5 meters, including 2.29 g/t Au over 15.2 meters. Drill hole LC-25-146 returned 2.02 g/t Au over 57.9 meters starting at 132.6 meters. Drill hole LC-25-152 returned 1.05 g/t Au over 45.7 metres starting at 125.0 metres. Notably in LC-25-150, gold mineralization continues at the bottom of the hole, with the final 4.6 meters averaging 3.65 g/t Au.
Drilling at Hotspot has significantly extended gold mineralization to the south and the east. The 2025 drill program at Lapon Canyon is exploration and resource definition focused, with drill holes planned to infill the existing Hotspot deposit and to explore extensions of the deposit along strike and downdip. All holes from this release were collared from the new upper drill road east of Hotspot.  Drilling at Lapon Canyon is carried out in different directions (azimuths) from the same drill pad for systematic drilling. Drill pads are placed at every 30 to 60 meters, with up to six holes per pad.
Both past and current drilling indicate that the gold system is largely sub-horizontal to moderately south-dipping in geometry, with evidence suggesting the presence of more steeply dipping, high-grade shoots developed within the broader mineralized zones.
Drilling continues to confirm gold mineralization extends to the south and east of the Hotspot and is hosted in multiple bedrock units beyond the originally interpreted iron-oxide-sericite altered granite. Historically, gold mineralization at Lapon was almost exclusively confined to the altered granite, as demonstrated by both past mining and earlier drilling. The recent 2025 drill results now indicate significant gold mineralization within diorite, monzonite, and granite. In addition, notable chalcopyrite (copper sulphide) has been observed. These findings suggest the potential discovery of a new mineralized zone south and east of the Hotspot, substantially expanding the growth potential of the Lapon Canyon Project. Multi-element geochemistry will be utilized to test the copper potential of Lapon’s already robust gold system.
