Walker Lane Trend
Historic High-Grade in Nevada's Next Frontier
Nevada is home to some of the world’s most important gold mining districts, but all eyes are currently on the Walker Lane Trend. Perfectly situated in the heart of this exciting new frontier, our Lapon Gold Project boasts known high-grade potential in a relatively underexplored landscape.

The Lapon Gold Project
Fully Permitted with Signifcant Exploration and Expansion Potential
- Located in mining friendly Nevada, one of the best mining jurisdictions in the world.
- Historical high-grade gold mining in approx. 2000 feet of underground workings.
- Discovery of previously unknown high-grade mineralization and a potential porphyry system at Lapon Canyon.
- Minimal modern-day exploration.
- Drill Programs from 2016-2019 returned significant new gold mineralization and verified the position and grades of presently inaccessible historical mined out areas.
- Developing a Regional Exploration Play with recently increased land holdings, that cover extensions of known and new mineralized areas at the Lapon Gold Project.
- The Rattlesnake Range front and Pikes Peak claims cover over 8 km of possible extensions of the range front zones to the west, north and south of Lapon Canyon.

The Walker Lane Shear Zone
straddles the border between Nevada
and California and has a rich history of
exploration and mining.
- The majority of gold deposits occur in the Walker Lane shear zone, which is a 100-km wide, NW trending structural corridor extending southeast from Reno towards Las Vegas.
- Host to historical gold producers such as the legendary Comstock Lode silver/gold mine which is located to the north of the Lapon Gold Project. The Comstock Lode is one of the richest silver/gold mines ever found and is why today Nevada is known as the “Silver State”.
- Unlike the Carlin trend, where most mines are producing ore of less than a gram of gold per tonne, Walker Lane stands out with exceptional high-grade assays in a relatively unexplored landscape.
- The Esmeralda/Aurora mine, also on the Walker Trend and 25 km to the south-west of Lapon Gold Project, produced from one bonanza vein one million ounces of gold from only one hundred thousand tonnes of rock.
