[{"type":"text","content":"Lahontan Samples Up To 13.54 G/t Au Eq At West Santa FeTORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / June 13, 2023 / Lahontan Gold Corp (TSXV:LG)(OTCQB:LGCXF) (the \"Company\" or \"Lahontan\") is pleased to announce results from rock-chip sampling at its West Santa Fe Project, with up to 13.54 g/t Au Eq, ranging from 0.13 g/t to 13.54 g/t Au Eq (please see table below and definition of Au Eq). Four rock-chip samples from outcrop in the main Au and Ag mineralized zone ranged from 2.71 to 13.54 g/t Au Eq and averaged 7.30 g/t Au Eq. Lahontan geologists also completed detailed statistical analysis of historic soil geochemical data from West Santa Fe, the results show a remarkable correlation with known mineralized areas and outline multiple targets for further exploration (please see map below).Sample NumberAu g/tAg g/tAu Eq g/tNotes5034012.1185713.54Main mineralized zone5034020.671532.71Main mineralized zone5034030.0370.13 5034041.635759.30Main mineralized zone5034050.0690.18NW of map5034062.46903.66Main mineralized zoneResults from rock-chip sampling at the West Santa Fe Project. Au Eq equals (Au g/t) + ((Ag g/t)/75). Metallurgical recovery has not been factored as insufficient test-work is available to determine potential Ag recoveries.Kimberly Ann, Lahontan Founder, CEO, President, and Director commented: \"The results of rock-chip sampling at West Santa Fe, part of our due diligence process, confirms the presence of outcropping high-grade Au and Ag mineralization at West Santa Fe. The analysis of historic soil geochemical data is exciting as it outlines significant soil anomalies well removed from the main mineralized area that may represent \"leakage\" along northeast-trending strictures from shallowly buried Au and Ag mineralization.\"Rock-chip samples superimposed on arsenic-in-soil geochem and geology. The arsenic data outlines multiple northeast-trending anomalies that correspond to faults mapped by Oldow and Steuer, 1985. The main mineralized zone, as defined by historic drilling, is shown in pink. Silver is an important component of the precious metal system at West Santa Fe. The four rock-chip samples collected from outcrop in the main mineralized zone have Ag values that range from 90 to 857 g/t Ag, and average 282 g/t Ag. Silver-in-soil geochem data parallel and reinforce the arsenic-in-soil data shown in the map above and will help gu...
