# Lahontan Drills 10.7m Grading 1.81 g/t Au and 64.8 g/t Ag, Completes Santa Fe Mine Stockpile Drill Program Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/lahontan-drills-10-7m-grading-1-81-g-t-au-and-64-8-g-t-ag-completes-santa-fe-min--1f1d4efc-84d5-411e-aa24-5145a4ac0dd5 Original source: https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/09/01/3353968/0/en/lahontan-drills-10-7m-grading-1-81-g-t-au-and-64-8-g-t-ag-completes-santa-fe-mine-stockpile-drill-program.html Publisher: globenewswire Original announcement: 2026-09-01T00:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Lahontan Gold Corp. - Ticker: LG - Exchange: Unavailable - Region: Nevada - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Silver - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-09-12 01:17:52 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Lahontan Gold has completed a Sonic drilling program at the Santa Fe Mine stockpile, reporting grades of 1.81 g/t Au and 64.8 g/t Ag. The results confirm that the historic 'low-grade' stockpile contains mineralization significantly higher than previously anticipated, suggesting potential for low-cost heap leach reprocessing. Reasoning: The drilling confirms higher-than-expected gold and silver grades in a historic stockpile, providing a low-cost reprocessing opportunity. - Positive factor: Grades higher than anticipated for a low-grade stockpile - Positive factor: Readily accessible material - Positive factor: Potential for low-cost heap leach reprocessing - Positive factor: QA/QC protocols disclosed - Negative factor: Some drill holes are historical re-releases Facts used in scoring: 2 ## Classification and evidence **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: Release includes details on blanks, CRMs, and laboratory \(AAL\) protocols. Evidence · text > The QA/QC program consisted of the insertion of coarse blanks and Certified Reference Materials \(CRM\) **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The program is evaluating historic stockpiles and pads to define resources.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
