[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 21, 2018) - Walker River Resources Corp. (TSXV: WRR) (\"Walker\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that the Company's 2018 winter reverse circulation (\"RC\") exploration drill program has begun at the Lapon Canyon Gold Project, located approximately 60 kilometres southeast of Yerington, Nevada. The Lapon Project consists of 96 claims (1940 acres) situated in the Wassuk Range, easily accessible by secondary state roads. A state grid power transmission line passes within three kilometres of the project. The Company owns 100% of the property with a 2% NSR payable on 36 of the claims. Drilling will focus on infill and expansion of the Lapon Rose zone and other exploration targets on the property. Key Highlights: To date, mineralization has been discovered in a broad, altered, fractured and brecciated NE trending structural corridor termed the Lapon Rose Zone. Anomalous gold values are denoted in many areas within this zone, and significant higher-grade mineralization over significant widths is located within sub vertical en echelon zones of intense alteration and gold enrichment. The company acquired an additional 60 claims that covers possible on strike extensions of the fault structures controlling the mineralization. The discovery of new gold mineralization (RC 17-19; 18.6 g/t Au (uncut) over 6.1 meters) located 325 meters away and 200 meters higher than the last known gold mineralization. It is not known at this time if this is an extension of the Lapon Rose or an entirely new zone. With the discovery at this location, the vertical extent of gold mineralization now exceeds 400 meters. Previous Drilling highlights include (all previously announced) 22.9 meters at 7.84 g/t, 13.7 meters at 48.02 g/t, 12.2 meters at 77.62 g/t, and 9.2 meters at 39.17 g/t. Drilling Targets Drilling will focus on infill and expansion drilling at the Lapon Rose zone, follow up drilling at the new discovery in Hole RC 17-19, as well as drilling other targets, which include other fault alteration zones, which in some instances show evidence of previous workings. Michel David, President states: \"We are very excited and encouraged by these and past drill results which now confirm the potential of the project. The planed drilling will continue to develop our understanding of the gold minera...
