BLM Determines Santa Fe Plan of Operations Complete, Prepares to Enter NEPA

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / August 26, 2025 / Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSXV:LG)(OTCQB:LGCXF)(FSE:Y2F) (the "Company" or "Lahontan") is pleased to announce that the Company has received notice from the Federal Bureau of Land Management (the "BLM") that Lahontan's Exploration Plan of Operations ("POO") has been determined to be complete and Santa Fe Mine Project can now enter full environmental assessment (the "EA") under the National Environmental Protection Act ("NEPA"). The determination means that all the environmental baseline studies used in the POO are complete, including studies of biological, cultural, and historical resources, culminating over two years of study and documentation at Santa Fe. Importantly, these studies can be used in any future environmental assessment of the Project including a Mine Plan of Operations. The POO would allow for exploration on over 12 km² of the Project and includes over 700 drill sites. The Company anticipates completing the NEPA process and receiving final approval of the POO in Q4 2025 allowing for a robust drilling campaign in 2026.

Kimberly Ann, Lahontan Gold Corp CEO, Executive Chair, and Founder commented: "Lahontan is pleased to receive notice from the BLM that our Santa Fe Exploration Project POO has been determined to be complete, and we can now head towards the completion of an EA under NEPA. The ability to explore throughout the Project area will give the Company the opportunity to unlock the tremendous untapped potential of the Project while simultaneously continuing to develop plans to bring the Santa Fe Mine back into production. We look forward to working hand-in-hand with the BLM and our permitting consultants and completing the NEPA process in a timely manner."
