Lahontan Begins Final Phase of Base Line Data Collection for Santa Fe Plan of Operations

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / March 4, 2024 / Lahontan Gold Corp (TSXV:LG)(OTCQB:LGCXF) (the "Company" or "Lahontan"), is pleased to announce that its consultants have begun the final phase of base line environmental data collection for its exploration Plan of Operations ("POO") at its Santa Fe Mine project located in the Nevada's Walker Lane. Commencing next week, consulting biologists will complete helicopter-borne raptor surveys throughout the 12.2 km2 POO study area at Santa Fe. In the following weeks, consultants will finish on-the-ground botanical surveys, the last field observations needed for the POO. The Company expects that the Cultural and Biological Resource Reports will be ready for review by the Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") and the Nevada State Historic Preservation Office ("SHPO") in late Q2 2024. Final review and determination of completeness of the POO and the baseline information by the BLM is expected in H2 2024 allowing the Santa Fe Mine project to enter the NEPA process. Eventual approval of the POO by the BLM will allow more surface disturbance on the property giving Lahontan the ability to continue to explore and expand the current mineral resources as well as provide needed baseline data and analysis that can be used if Lahontan wishes to modify the POO to include mining operations.

Kimberly Ann, Lahontan Founder, CEO, President, and Director commented: "Lahontan is excited to enter the final phase of data collection for its Santa Fe Mine project Plan of Operations. Data collection is the lengthiest portion of the POO permitting process as it requires not only detailed cultural resource surveys, but also on-the-ground botanical surveys that must be completed across multiple growing seasons. We have been in the data collection mode for nearly 12 months and we are literally within a few months of submitting our draft Cultural and Biological Resource reports to the BLM. As we continue to examine options for potentially restarting mining operations at Santa Fe, having these key base line studies complete and nearly in the hands of the BLM is a tremendous achievement."
