Phase Two Program At The Santa Fe Mine Project

TORONTO – Lahontan Gold Corp. reported on the 2025 Phase Two drilling program at the Santa Fe Mine Project located in Nevada’s prolific Walker Lane. Lahontan has received analytical results for two additional reverse-circulation rotary (RC) drill holes in the south Slab pit area totaling 396 metres (please see table below). Significant results include: 1) CAL25-011R: 68.6 metres (45.7 – 114.3m) grading 0.45 g/t Au Eq including 16.8 metres (65.5 – 82.3m) grading 0.81 g/t Au Eq: A shallow, thick, intercept of oxide gold mineralization below the current mineral resource pit shell*, expanding the footprint of oxide gold mineralization, especially when coupled with the results from CAL25-012R. When the entire drill hole is composited without regard to cutoff grade, it averages 0.23 g/t Au Eq over 213.4 metres (0.21 g/t Au, 1.4 g/t Ag). 2) CAL25-012R: 41.2 metres (32.0 – 73.2m) grading 0.32 g/t Au Eq correlating with the structurally controlled gold mineralization seen in hole CAL25-011R (above) and extending shallow oxide gold mineralization to the southwest and below of the Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) pit shell*.
Kimberly Ann, Executive Chair, President, CEO, and Founder, said, “The assay results from the final two 2025 RC drill holes at Slab continue to extend gold mineralization to the south, west, and at depth from the current MRE pit shell*, enhancing the potential mining economics of the Slab gold and silver resource. Lahontan will integrate these new drill holes into an updated MRE for Slab as well as the entire Santa Fe project. The MRE is expected to be completed in the coming months. With a new MRE, combined with updated metallurgy and escalating metal prices, the Company will also complete an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) as well. More 2025 drill results will be forthcoming as the analytical lab catches up on a busy 2025 exploration season.”
