# Lahontan Drills 9.9m Grading 2.40 g/t Au and 50.7 g/t Ag in Santa Fe Mine Stockpile Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/lahontan-drills-9-9m-grading-2-40-g-t-au-and-50-7-g-t-ag-in-santa-fe-mine-stockp--48bbcca0-eb82-424b-b24e-201f045f4780 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/LG/news/5829236151232921/lahontan-drills-9-9m-grading-2-40-g-t-au-and-50-7-g-t-ag-in-santa-fe-mine-stockp Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-07-23T11:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Lahontan Gold Corp. - Ticker: LG - Exchange: TSX - Region: Nevada - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Silver - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-09-18 06:32:42 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Lahontan Gold Corp. has reported the first results from its 2026 Sonic drilling program at the Santa Fe Mine in Nevada. The results from a historic 'low-grade' stockpile show grades of 2.40 g/t Au and 50.7 g/t Ag over 9.9m, which are significantly higher than previously anticipated. Reasoning: The drill results confirm higher-than-expected grades in a historic stockpile, providing a potential low-cost feed source for future reprocessing. - Positive factor: Grades significantly higher than anticipated for a 'low-grade' stockpile - Positive factor: Confirms mineralization in accessible historic heap leach pads/stockpiles - Positive factor: Suggests material is amenable to conventional heap leach processing - Positive factor: QA/QC protocols and certified lab \(AAL\) disclosed 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 detailed QA/QC protocols, including CRM insertion rates and use of blanks. Evidence · text > Lahontan conducts an industry standard QA/QC program for its core, Sonic, and RC drilling programs. **True Width Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Actual thickness perpendicular to structure is stated, not just downhole length. Why it applies: Document states true thickness is approximately 100% of the drilled interval for vertical holes. Evidence · text > All drill holes are vertical, true thickness of the intercepts are approximately 100% of the drilled interval. ## 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.
