[{"type":"text","content":"Santa Fe Exploration Plan of Operations Enters NEPA ReviewTORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / September 25, 2025 / Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSXV:LG)(OTCQB:LGCXF)(FSE:Y2F) (the \"Company\" or \"Lahontan\") is pleased to announce that the company's Exploration Plan of Operations (\"POO\") has begun National Environmental Policy Act (\"NEPA\") review by the Federal Bureau of Land Management (\"BLM\"). The BLM has up to six months to complete the process, however Lahontan, its permitting consultants, and the BLM believe the process will be much more rapid, as the POO has been posted on the BLM National NEPA Registry and a draft Environmental Assessment has already been completed. The Company has also signed a Contributed Funds Agreement with the BLM whereby Lahontan will provide funding to the BLM in support of the NEPA process allowing the BLM to assign additional personnel to the review team and potentially further reduce the time required to complete the review.Kimberly Ann, Lahontan Founder, Chair, CEO, and President commented: \"Lahontan is excited to have its Exploration POO enter the NEPA review process. When NEPA is completed, the POO will allow for staged exploration drilling of over 700 holes within the Santa Fe Mine Project area, greatly enhancing the potential to expand the project's gold and silver resources and enhance expanded mining opportunities. The Contributed Funds Agreement allows the BLM to utilize additional personnel to complete the NEPA analysis and provide funding in case of a Federal government shutdown.\"About Lahontan Gold Corp.Lahontan Gold Corp. is a Canadian mine development and mineral exploration company that holds, through its US subsidiaries, four top-tier gold and silver exploration properties in the Walker Lane of mining friendly Nevada.
