(TSXV:LG)(OTCQB:LGCXF)(FSE:Y2F) (the "Company" or "Lahontan") is pleased to announce that the Company has retained RESPEC Company LLC ("RESPEC") and Kappes, Cassiday & Associates ("KCA") to update the Santa Fe Mine Project Technical Report, including a new Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") and Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA"). The updated MRE will incorporate all drilling completed since October 2024, and utilize new metallurgical data, mining costs, and revised gold and silver prices to design conceptual pit shells to constrain the MRE. Once the MRE is completed, the team will then focus on developing a revised PEA which should reflect the impact of the new technical data as well as metal prices. It is expected that the MRE should be completed in the coming months, with the PEA expected in Q2 2026.","length":952,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"Kimberly Ann, Lahontan Executive Chair, President, CEO, and Founder commented: "Lahontan is excited to begin the process of updating the Santa Fe Mine MRE and PEA.

Combined with new metallurgical data and upward trending metal prices, we look forward to an updated MRE. The PEA process is vital to Lahontan as it creates an operational model that can be used to evaluate multiple mining scenarios over a range of metal prices that in turn, will provide key data, i.e. process plant throughput, waste rock tonnages, etc., that will be used in our mine permitting program."","length":781,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"About Lahontan Gold Corp.","length":25,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"Lahontan Gold Corp. is a Canadian mine development and mineral exploration company that holds, through its US subsidiaries, four gold and silver exploration properties in the Walker Lane of mining friendly Nevada.
