# Lahontan Drills 16.5m Grading 2.72 g/t Au and 2.8 g/t Ag at Santa Fe Heap Leach Pad Two Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/lahontan-drills-16-5m-grading-2-72-g-t-au-and-2-8-g-t-ag-at-santa-fe-heap-leach--c93cad7f-d263-42f7-a2c9-d96cf3dc3251 Original source: https://orestocks.com/company/LG.V/press-releases/7265106274159493 Publisher: orestocks Original announcement: 2026-09-15T11:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Lahontan Gold Corp. - Ticker: LG.V - Exchange: Unavailable - Region: Nevada - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Silver - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-09-15 11:23:49 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Lahontan Gold Corp. has reported encouraging Sonic core drilling results from its Santa Fe Mine Project in Nevada. The results confirm significant residual gold and silver mineralization within the historic Heap Leach Pad Two \(HLP Two\). Reasoning: The drilling confirms significant residual gold and silver mineralization in a historic heap leach pad, providing a new target for reprocessing. - Positive factor: Significant residual mineralization confirmed in historic heap leach pad - Positive factor: QA/QC protocols and certified laboratory \(AAL\) disclosed - Positive factor: High-grade intercept of 2.72 g/t Au - Negative factor: High grade variability expected in heap leach pad material - Negative factor: CN analyses vary significantly from fire assay values Facts used in scoring: 2 ## Classification and evidence **True Width Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Actual thickness perpendicular to structure is stated, not just downhole length. Why it applies: The document states true thickness is approximately 100% of the drilled interval. Evidence · text > true thickness of the intercepts are approximately 100% of the drilled interval **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: The release details the use of blanks, CRMs, and a certified laboratory \(AAL\). Evidence · text > The QA/QC program consisted of the insertion of coarse blanks and Certified Reference Materials \(CRM\) ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 2.

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.
