WALKER BEGINS DRILL PROGRAM AT LAPON CANYON

Core Viewpoint - Walker River Resources Corp. has initiated its 2025 reverse circulation drill program at the Lapon Gold Project, focusing on exploration drilling in the Lapon Canyon area, which is part of the Walker Lane Gold trend [1][2]. Group 1: Drill Program Details - The 2025 drill program will explore near the historical Lapon Canyon Mine, specifically targeting the "Central Zone" and the newly identified "Hot Spot Zone" [2][3]. - The Hot Spot Zone is a primary target, following a high-grade discovery in 2021, with grid-style drilling planned to assess the mineralized zone's extension and continuity with the Central Zone [3][6]. - The drilling will involve pads placed approximately 30 meters apart, with up to five holes planned per pad, as the mineralization is not visible at the surface due to overlying colluvium [3][6]. Group 2: Geological and Structural Analysis - Surficial mapping and rock sampling will be conducted around the Lapon Canyon gold targets, focusing on structural data collection to understand the controls of high-grade mineralization [4][5]. - The geological model for the Central and Hot Spot zones has been enhanced using historical data, aiding in the planning of the 2025 drill program [5][6]. Group 3: Project Overview - The Lapon Gold Project consists of 149 claims covering 3103 acres in the Wassuk Range, located approximately 60 kilometers southeast of Yerington, Nevada [7]. - The project is accessible via secondary state roads and is near a state power grid transmission line, facilitating operational logistics [7]. - The Rattlesnake, Range Front, and Pikes Peak claims add additional drill target areas, with historical mining activity indicating potential for further exploration [8][9].
