West Sante Fe Project Sampling Confirms Presence Of High Grade Gold and Silver Mineralization

TORONTO - Lahontan Gold Corp reported on rock-chip sampling at its West Santa Fe Project, with up to 13.54 g/t Au Eq, ranging from 0.13 g/t to 13.54 g/t Au Eq. Four rock-chip samples from outcrop in the main Au and Ag mineralized zone ranged from 2.71 to 13.54 g/t Au Eq and averaged 7.30 g/t Au Eq. Lahontan geologists also completed detailed statistical analysis of historic soil geochemical data from West Santa Fe, the results show a remarkable correlation with known mineralized areas and outline multiple targets for further exploration.

Results from rock-chip sampling at the West Santa Fe Project. Au Eq equals (Au g/t) + ((Ag g/t)/75). Metallurgical recovery has not been factored as insufficient test-work is available to determine potential Ag recoveries.

Kimberly Ann, CEO, President, and Director commented: "The results of rock-chip sampling at West Santa Fe, part of our due diligence process, confirms the presence of outcropping high-grade Au and Ag mineralization at West Santa Fe. The analysis of historic soil geochemical data is exciting as it outlines significant soil anomalies well removed from the main mineralized area that may represent "leakage" along northeast-trending strictures from shallowly buried Au and Ag mineralization."
