LAHONTAN DRILLS 91m GRADING 0.43 g/t Au OXIDE AT CALVADA, DISCOVERS
NEW GOLD ZONE AT SLAB WEST

.

Toronto Ontario, June 9, 2026 – Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSXV:LG, OTCQB:LGCXF, FSE:Y2F) (the “Company” or “Lahontan”) is pleased to announce the first drill results from its 2026 drilling program at the Santa Fe Mine Project.

The drill results reported herein cover four diamond core drill holes totalling 953 metres that were designed to acquire geotechnical data related to mine permitting that nonetheless intercepted significant gold mineralization.

Five additional reverse-circulation (“RC”) drill holes, totalling 1,530 metres, have discovered a previously unrecognized zone of gold mineralization located west of the
Slab open pit (“Slab West”) that remains open in all directions.

.

Significant results are summarized below:

• Calvada: Drill hole CAL26-02C, originally designed to gather geotechnical data for mine permitting, cut 90.8 metres (194.2 – 285.0 m) grading 0.44 g/t Au Eq oxide near the bottom and below the current resource pit shell*.

This includes a 12.3 metre interval (212.4 -223.7 m) of highgrade material: 1.22 g/t Au Eq. Please see maps, tables, and section.
• Slab West: Multiple drill holes have discovered a new, previously unrecognized zone of gold mineralization west of the Slab resource and open pit.

Gold minerlaization was intercepted in four out of five drill holes including 35.0 metres grading 0.34 g/t Au Eq (CAL26-03R; 164.6 – 199.6m) and 61.0 metres grading 0.26 g/t Au Eq (CAL26-01R; 184.4 – 245.4 m).

The Slab West discovery is unconstrained up and down dip plus along strike and has the potential to host significant new gold resoures at the Santa Fe Mine Project. 

.

Kimberly Ann, Founder, Chair, CEO, and President of Lahontan Gold Corp commented:

“The discovery of the gold zone at Slab West is an exciting development for the Santa Fe Mine Project.

 

“Since Lahontan acquired Santa Fe, all our drilling was focused on resource expansion and definition in order to demonstrate sufficient gold and silver resources to justify a production decision.

 

“The current RC drilling program is the first true exploration drilling we have done at Santa Fe and the results are already significant.

 

“The Slab West area has a large footprint, good grade, and continuity. Drilling crews are already following up on these
early results.

“The Geotechnical drilling program is a crucial part of the mine permitting process: Collecting samples of wall or waste rock for geochemical characterization and searching for evidence of ground water around and below the proposed open pits. 

,

“The program has been successful from a technical standpoint, no significant ground water was encountered, however, by carefully selecting the orientation of the drill holes, we can cut across known zones of gold mineralization and further validate the gold and silver resource at Santa Fe.

 

“The intercept at Calvada was particularly important as it confirmed thick oxide gold mineralization below the deepest part of the Calvada open pit and gives us further
confidence as we head towards mine construction in 2027. ”

LAHONTAN DRILLS HIGH GRADE OXIDE GOLD FROM THE SURFACE AT WEST
SANTA FE: 37m GRADING 3.11 g/t Au Eq INCLUDING 11m GRADING 5.75 g/t Au Eq

Toronto Ontario, February 24, 2026 – Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSX.V: LG, OTCQB:LGCXF, FSE:Y2F) (the “Company” or “Lahontan”) is pleased to announce the final analytical results from our 2025 maiden drilling program at the Company’s satellite West Santa Fe project, located only 13 km from Lahontan’s flagship asset, the Santa Fe Mine project, in Nevada’s prolific Walker Lane.

The assay results are from the final reverse-circulation rotary (“RC”) drill are summarized below:
• WSF25-04R: 36.6 metres (0.0 – 36.6m) grading 3.11 g/t Au Eq including 10.7 metres (1.5 – 12.2m) grading 5.75 g/t Au Eq from the surface, all oxide.

The drill hole emphasizes the high gold and silver grades associated with the South Zone at West Santa Fe.

– Also included in the intercept is a second high grade zone: 12.2m (22.9 – 35.1m) grading 3.67 g/t Au Eq.

– The grade and geometry of these intercepts correlate well with adjacent historic drill holes, further validating the historic drill hole database. Numbers may not total precisely due to rounding.

.
Kimberly Ann, Lahontan Executive Chair, President, CEO, and Founder commented:

“The robust assay results from WSF25-04R confirm the high-grade core of the South Zone as defined by historic drilling and underground mine workings.

 

“We are continuing to model the West Santa Fe system to better understand the geology and geometry of gold and silver mineralization. The geologic team is also fine-tuning a followup RC drilling campaign to commence in Spring.

 

“Previous field work, including geologic mapping, rockchip sampling, and airborne magnetic surveys, confirms that the hydrothermal system at West Santa Fe extends at least 1,000 metres east of the main zone of gold and silver mineralization defined by Lahontan and historic drilling (please Lahontan Gold press release dated June 18, 2024).

 

“This possible extension of the main mineralized zone, plus untested down-dip extensions of gold and silver mineralization, will be the key targets of the Spring drilling campaign.

 

“West Santa Fe continues to be an exciting new exploration target for the Company, one with excellent potential to add important shallow, oxide gold and silver resource ounces to Lahontan’s mineral resource ledger.”

LAHONTAN DRILLS THICK, SHALLOW GOLD: 114m GRADING 0.33 g/t Au Eq at
YORK; 23m GRADING 0.42 g/t Au Eq at SLAB

Toronto Ontario, January 13, 2026 – Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSX.V:LG, OTCQB:LGCXF) (the “Company” or “Lahontan”) is pleased to announce the first results from our 2025 Phase Two drilling program at the Company’s flagship Santa Fe Mine Project located in Nevada’s prolific Walker Lane.

Lahontan has received analytical results for six reverse-circulation rotary (“RC”) drill holes totaling 994 metres.

Significant results include:

• York: 114.3 metres (76.2 – 190.5m) grading 0.33 g/t Au Eq in YOR25-004R including 18.3 metres (172.2 – 190.5m) grading 0.90 g/t Au Eq: A shallow, thick, intercept of gold mineralization that expands the footprint of the York gold zone to the north of the current mineral resource pit shell*, leaving gold mineralization open and unconstrained to the north by modern drilling 
• Slab: 22.9 metres (19.8 – 42.7m) grading 0.42 g/t Au Eq in CAL25-009R: Very shallow oxide gold that may pull the Slab pit shell deeper in an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) expected later this year (please plan map for drill hole locations below).
• Slab: 29.0 metres (97.5 – 126.5m) grading 0.26 g/t Au Eq in CAL25-010R: Oxide gold
mineralization below the current mineral resource pit shell, an additional opportunity to potentially deepen the Slab conceptual pit shell and capture additional gold resources in the MRE update.

.
Kimberly Ann, Lahontan Executive Chair, President, CEO, and Founder commented:

“The Lahontan team is excited to receive the first analytical results from our Phase Two 2025 drill program at Santa Fe.

 

“The drill results at York reinforce our interpretation that the York deposit continues to the north of the previously defined MRE* and provides an excellent opportunity to further expand gold Mineral Resources at York.

 

“At Slab, the two drill holes targeting deeper extensions to known shallow oxide gold and silver mineralization were very successful; these drill results will be incorporated into an updated MRE for the entire Santa Fe Mine project, expected in the coming months.

 

“We will be receiving additional analytical results for seven drill holes at Santa Fe and six drill holes at our West Santa Fe project over the coming weeks, so please stay tuned for further press releases!”

121 Mining Conference London

London mining season kicked off with the 121 Mining Conference at Houndsditch this week.

Sadly the buzz that was evident at a recent presentation when gold was riding the crest of the wave seems to have evaporated, despite gold remaining above $4,000.

121 Mining Conference London – 2025

London mining season kicked off with the 121 mining conference at Houndsditch this week.

Sadly the buzz that was evident at a recent presentation when gold was riding the crest of the wave seems to have evaporated, despite gold remaining above $4,000.

This is despite gold remaining above $4,000, but below the heady $4,300 level. As a result producing gold and silver mining stock prices have been hit hard, blowing the exuberance away in the process.

I had some good meeting and do feel that stock prices are due another rise as long as gold holds around the current level or moves higher.

Of the companies that I met, Dolly Varden, Lahontan Gold, and Silver Storm caught my attention and merit further review.

I recently added Silver Storm to the Tier 2 watchlist of developing companies, due to its offtake deal with Samsung, low market cap, and imminent production in Q1 or Q2 2026.

Dolly Varden have a quality management team, and will publish a new Mineral Resource Estimate in Q1 2026. They are also looking for potential acquisitions.

Lahontan Gold is  a small cap early stage exploration play with a past producing open pit gold project, Santa Fe, located in the Walker Lane Trend in Nevada. Run by Kimberley Ann, who has enjoyed success in the past with a number of exploration companies.

Lahontan have other former producing open pit projects in the same trend, including Santa Fe West, and Moho. In addition there is a disseminated silver project.

——-

The show itself, as I mentioned earlier, lacked the buzz I was expecting, due to prices having fallen back quite sharply from their highs despite gold being within 7% of its all-time high.

I noticed a few economy measures, such as no servers for the food, and the food selection had moved somewhat downmarket from previous shows.

My main complaint was the lack of seating given the wide open spaces in the concourse area. Surely they can provide a few more tables for people to sit and eat on?

All in all a good show, and I expect to make a couple of additions to my portfolio as a result of the meetings that I had.
