The preliminary 2024 drill program at Lapon Canyon will encompass exploration drilling close to the historic Lapon Canyon Mine, the “Central Zone”, and the newly found “Sizzling Spot Zone”. Drill holes are deliberate to increase identified gold-bearing mineralized zones alongside pattern and at depth, in addition to to focus on new areas of mineralization beforehand untested.
Lapon Canyon’s “Hotspot Zone” is a major goal for the 2024 drill program. Following up on the blind, high-grade, close to floor discovery made in 2021, the Firm will perform grid-style drilling over the goal, testing for extension of the mineralized zone in all instructions in addition to for continuity with the mineralization of the “Central Zone”. Grid drilling will encompass pads positioned at roughly 30 m centres on part, with as much as 5 holes deliberate per pad. The mineralization shouldn’t be seen at floor, as it’s overlain by roughly 3 meters of free colluvium, making the goal blind, but in addition making drill street entry and pad building faster at much less price.
Surficial mapping and rock sampling will probably be carried out at bedrock exposures surrounding the Lapon Canyon gold targets. Structural knowledge assortment will probably be a key goal, as Walker goals to focus in on the structural controls of high-grade mineralization and the broad disseminated deposits enveloping them.
The Firm additionally pronounces it has retained Serac Exploration (” Serac “) of Vancouver BC., a full-service mineral exploration consulting agency. Serac will probably be liable for the administration and supervision of the drilling database, geological mapping, producing drill logs from RC chips, and producing a three-dimensional mannequin of the Lapon Gold venture. Serac’s preliminary interpretations of Lapon’s historic knowledge have been used to provide a geological mannequin of the Central and Sizzling Spot zones, which has already enormously enhanced the planning and design of Walker’s upcoming 2024 drill program.
Walker River has accomplished appreciable exploration work to this point, with quite a few drill gap intercepts which have indicated important gold mineralization. The drill packages at Lapon Canyon will encompass definition and systematic drilling on part for geological modelling functions, exploration drilling to find new gold mineralization, extension of identified gold mineralization, in a number of instructions, together with at depth. The outcomes from the 2024 drill packages and subsequent knowledge compilation will allow the completion of an preliminary NI 43-101 compliant mineral useful resource on the Undertaking.
Michel David, President states: “We’re very excited and inspired by the previous drill outcomes which affirm the potential of the venture. The arrival of Serac on the venture will enormously assist within the acceleration of drilling, geological mapping and understanding of the gold mineralization on the Lapon Gold Undertaking.”

Concerning the Lapon Gold Undertaking
The Lapon Gold Undertaking consists of 147 claims (2940 acres) located within the Wassuk Vary, inside the Walker Lane shear zone, a 100 km vast structural hall extending in a southeast route from Reno, Nevada. The Undertaking is well accessible by secondary state roads from the principle freeway (25 kilometres), and is situated roughly 60 kilometres southeast of Yerington, Nevada. A state energy grid transmission line passes inside three kilometres of the Undertaking.
The Lapon Gold Undertaking consists of Lapon Canyon, the Pikes Peak claims situated 4 kilometres to the north, and the Rattlesnake and Vary Entrance claims 3 kilometres to the west and over 600 meters decrease than the current drilling at Lapon Canyon. The Rattlesnake, Vary Entrance, and Pikers Peak claims cowl over 8 km of doable extensions of the vary entrance zones to the west, north, and south of Lapon Canyon, including a number of further drill goal areas to the venture. Rattlesnake and Pikes Peak include quite a few historic mining and milling areas that encompass adits at totally different ranges, shafts and underground workings, and a community of present roads offering entry all through. Little or no exploration work has been carried out on these claims previous to Walker’s arrival. It’s notable that the Rattlesnake space and adits are on strike with the Lapon Canyon discoveries situated 3 km on strike and 600 meters above.
Lapon Canyon hosts historic excessive grade gold mining with roughly 2000 toes of present process workings in three adits. Historic underground work returned quite a few assay values within the one ounce per ton vary, with a pattern on the finish of the A adit returning 20.6 ounces per ton Au. (NI 43-101, Montgomery and Barr, 2004).
