[{"type":"text","content":"Emergent Metals Corp. Reports Cyanide Recoveries Of 81% For Gold And 60% For Silver From West Santa Fe, NV\n(TheNewswire)\n\n \n\n\nVancouver, British Columbia, April\n15, 2026 - TheNewswire – Emergent\nMetals Corp. (TSXV: EMR, OTC: EGMCF, FRA: EML, MUN: ELM) (“Emergent” or the “Company”) is pleased\nto announce that Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSXV: LG)\n(“Lahontan”) has reported analysis of pulp samples from its 2025\nmaiden drilling program (the “Program”) at Emergent’s West Santa Fe\nProperty (“West Santa\nFe” or the “Property”).\n Lahontan has the option to acquire a 100% interest in the Property\nby completing US$1.8 million in cash or share payments and US$1.4\nmillion in work expenditures on the Property (total US$3.2 million)\nover seven years.  \n\n\n \n\n\nWest Santa Fe hosts a gold and silver exploration\ntarget located about 13 km from Lahontan’s flagship Santa Fe Mine.\n It represents a potential satellite deposit to the Santa Fe Mine, or\npotentially a stand-alone project, subject to exploration success.\n The exploration database includes 171 drill holes totaling about\n13,000 meters, with historic drilling and metallurgical test work\ncompleted in the 1980s and 1990s.  Lahontan completed six modern\nexploration reverse circulation (“RC”) holes in late 2025,\ntotaling 593 meters.\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nAs announced in a Lahontan press release on April 13,\n2026, Lahontan’s metallurgical test work showed high levels of\ncyanide (“CN”) extraction for gold and silver, which corroborates\nand validates historic metallurgical test work at West Santa Fe (see\nLahontan’s press\nrelease for details).  Highlights\ninclude:\n\n\n \n\n\n\nCN extractable gold averaged 81% compared to the\noriginal fire assay gold values for individual pulp samples. This is a\nvery high CN extraction ratio and is greater than the projected gold\nrecovery reported in historic metallurgical testing for West Santa\nFe. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nCN extractable silver averaged 60% compared to the\noriginal ICP and fire assay analyses. This represents a high CN\nextraction ratio, particularly for silver, and is greater than the\nprojected silver recovery rep...
