Lahontan Submits Notice of Operations to BLM for Drilling at West Santa Fe

TORONTO, ON, ON / ACCESS Newswire / October 15, 2025 / Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSXV:LG)(OTCQB:LGCXF)(FSE:Y2F) (the "Company" or "Lahontan") is pleased to announce that the Company has submitted a Notice of Operations (the "Notice") to the Federal Bureau of Land Management (the "BLM") for its proposed exploration drilling program at Lahontan's West Santa Fe Project, located only 13 kilometres southwest of the Company's Flagship Santa Fe Mine Project. The Notice seeks to permit multiple drill sites at the West Santa Fe Project, plus the construction of access roads and sumps for drilling fluids. The Company intends to drill multiple holes from each drill site, twining, drilling down-dip, and exploring the West Santa Fe system along strike from areas of known gold and silver mineralization. Historic drilling, totaling 171 drill holes for approximately 13,000 metres, defines shallow, oxidized, gold and silver mineralization near the historic Mindora underground mine. Geologic mapping and sampling show that this zone of mineralization continues for over 1,000 metres to the east, an area marked by numerous shallow adits, prospect pits, and outcrops of hydrothermally altered rock. (Please see Lahontan Gold Press Release dated June 18, 2024).
