WALKER RIVER ANNOUNCES SIGNIFICANT GOLD INTERCEPTS AT THE LAPON CANYON GOLD PROJECT
Globenewswire· 2025-12-11 13:00
Core Insights - Walker River Resources Corp. announced additional assay results from the ongoing reverse circulation drill program at the Lapon Canyon portion of the Lapon Gold Project, confirming and extending gold mineralization in the area [1][11]. Drill Results - Significant gold mineralization was confirmed in several drill holes, with notable results including: - Hole LC-25-163: 3.05 g/t Au over 53.3 m, including 6.67 g/t Au over 18.3 m [4] - Hole LC-25-162: 1.49 g/t Au over 47.2 m, including 13.8 g/t Au over 1.5 m [4] - Hole LC-25-159: 1.14 g/t Au over 45.7 m [4] - Hole LC-25-161: 1.05 g/t Au over 29.0 m [4] - Hole LC-25-164: 1.01 g/t Au over 54.8 m [4] - Hole LC-25-165: 1.03 g/t Au over 45.7 m [4] - Hole LC-25-157: 0.98 g/t Au over 19.8 m within granite [4] Exploration Potential - The 2025 drill program has led to the discovery of intrusive-related gold mineralization, significantly increasing the exploration potential of the Lapon Gold Project [4][5]. - The presence of monzonite as the host rock suggests the potential for a monzonite porphyry system, which is associated with large gold and copper-bearing systems in Nevada [6]. Project Development - The drilling at the Hotspot deposit has expanded the footprint of gold mineralization to the south and east, with evidence of sub-horizontal to moderately south-dipping gold systems [7]. - Future geophysical surveys are planned to define additional drill targets within deeper intrusive bodies [5]. Company Statements - The President & CEO of Walker River expressed encouragement regarding the drill results, highlighting the potential for increased gold mineralization at Lapon Canyon and the excitement surrounding the discovery of gold in monzonite [11]. Project Overview - The Lapon Gold Project consists of 147 claims covering 2940 acres in Nevada's Walker Lane shear zone, with easy accessibility and proximity to infrastructure [16]. - The project includes historical high-grade gold mining areas, with previous underground work returning assay values in the one ounce per ton range [17].
