Walker River Resources Unveils Promising Gold Intercepts
Promising Gold Discovery at Lapon Gold Project
Vancouver, B.C. — Walker River Resources Corp. (“Walker” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: WRR) is excited to share remarkable assay results from the recent reverse circulation (RC) drill program at the Lapon Canyon sector of the Lapon Gold Project. These results reinforce the project's strong potential in the mineral-rich region.
Exciting Drill Results and Highlights
The drill hole highlights reveal substantial gold mineralization at various depths, indicative of consistent and robust gold deposits.
Notable Drill Intercepts
- Drill hole LC-24-117 returned 3.88 g/t Au over 77.72 meters, commencing at a depth of 74.68 meters, including an impressive intercept of 12.09 g/t Au over 16.77 meters. This finding emphasizes the rich nature of the gold mineralization within the Hotspot zone.
- Additional holes such as LC-24-114 (0.61 g/t Au over 155.45 meters), LC-24-118 (1.96 g/t Au over 59.44 meters), and LC-24-113 (2.58 g/t Au over 27.34 meters) also indicate continuity of gold mineralization at depth. LC-24-114 showed mineralization continuing for approximately 40 meters to the south.
- Drill holes LC-24-110 and LC-24-113 further extended the Hotspot Zone westward towards the Central Zone, each providing substantial gold content.
Furthermore, LC-24-117 and LC-24-119 sustained mineralization at the bottom of the holes, indicating productive exploration depth that could suggest considerable underground resources.
Exploration Goals and Methodology
The 2024 drilling campaign at Lapon Canyon is centered on exploration and defining the geometry of the mineralized system. The drill plan was meticulously designed to pinpoint the extent of the gold resources and seek additional mineralized zones both along the strike and at deeper levels.
Drilling Techniques and Strategies
- The approach taken at Lapon Canyon involved systematic drilling from the same pad to ensure thorough exploration. Drill pads were established at intervals of 30 to 60 meters, with multiple holes drilled from each location.
- Current and past drilling efforts have revealed a complex gold system where high-grade shoots may exist within wider mineralized zones.
Continuous Development and Future Plans
Walker River remains committed to completing this exciting phase of exploration. The ongoing work at the site includes critical data compilation and resource modeling to prepare for an initial NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimation.
Feedback from Leadership
Michel David, President & CEO of Walker River, expresses great optimism regarding the promising drill results. He notes, "We are encouraged by these current and past findings which reaffirm the project's potential. We eagerly anticipate further results from the Lapon Canyon and are enthusiastic about the ongoing interpretation of gold mineralization here."
