Walker River Unveils Additional Results from Lapon Gold Project
Walker River Resources Corp. (“Walker” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: WRR) is thrilled to share the latest assay outcomes from its ongoing exploration efforts at the Lapon Gold Project. The reverse circulation (RC) drill program at Lapon Canyon is yielding exciting additional data, bringing fresh insights into the gold mineralization present in the area.
Key Highlights from Recent Assay Results
The drill assay results from holes LC-24-101 to -105 continue to impress, revealing a well-defined gold mineralized zone located at Hotspot. This zone is notably extending its reach from the initial discovery, now expanding approximately 125 meters to the east and penetrating to a depth of over 100 meters.
Notable Drill Intervals
Among the results:
- LC-24-102 consistently returned significant gold mineralization with 3.4 g/t Au over 56.4 meters, featuring 6.1 g/t Au over 27.4 meters and an impressive 12.4 g/t Au over 6.1 meters. This hole confirms mineralization reaching depths of up to 121.9 meters.
- Another standout, LC-24-103, returned 0.6 g/t Au over an extensive 88.4 meters, also finishing in mineralization at 121.9 meters.
- LC-24-105 has further showcased promising results with 1.2 g/t Au over 86.9 meters, including notable intervals of 3.3 g/t Au over 9.1 meters.
These findings highlight a broad, potentially flat-lying geometry of the gold system extending over 400 m east-west and 600 m north-south, encapsulating an area of roughly 0.27 square kilometers. Additionally, localized high-grade shoots are emerging, stressing the need for ongoing drilling efforts to refine and explore these fruitful findings.
Underground Channel Sampling Progress
Underground channel sampling at the Pikes Peak section of the Lapon Gold Project also returned remarkable assays, with results confirming levels of 36.4 g/t Au, 10.7 g/t Au, and 19.8 g/t Au. These high values support the strategic direction of the ongoing project and the overall potential for gold mineralization within this region.
Comprehending the Sampling Methodology
Sampling for these results has been meticulously managed. Strict protocols ensure the chain of custody from drilling to sample preparation, with regular insertion of blanks or certified reference materials to assure quality control. The assays were conducted by American Assays Laboratories in Sparks, NV, ensuring recognized standards are met throughout the process.
Exciting Future Ahead
Following up on these findings, Walker intends to delve deeper into understanding the extent of the mineralized system and identify any new zones that may arise with continued exploration. With several drill holes concluding in mineralization, consistent updates and anticipation for further assay results are building excitement among stakeholders.
