About the Lapon Gold Project

The Lapon Gold Project consists of 147 claims (2940 acres) that includes Lapon Canyon, the newly acquired Pikes Peaks claims 4 kilometers to the north and the Rattlesnake Range Front claims 3 kilometers to the west and over 600 meters lower than the present drilling at Lapon Canyon. The Lapon Gold Project is situated in the Wassuk Range, easily accessible by secondary state roads from the main highway (25 kilometres). A state grid power transmission line passes within three kilometres of the Lapon Project.

The Lapon Gold Project is located within the Walker Lane shear zone, a 100-kilometre-wide structural corridor extending in a southeast direction from Reno, Nevada. Within this trend, numerous gold, silver, and copper mines are located, notably the historic Comstock Lode mines in Virginia City. Also, the past producing Esmeralda/Aurora gold mine, with reported production of some one million ounces and the Anaconda open pit copper mine in Yerington, Nevada.

The Lapon Gold Project is cut by a series of steeply dipping cross fault structures cutting across the Walker trend, analogous to other cross fault structures responsible for many gold and base metal deposits in the world. These faults are heavily sheared and altered (sericite, iron oxides) with abundant silica, varying in width from 60 to 300 meters. Four of these structures have been discovered at Lapon Canyon, and at least two can be traced for over four kilometers.

The Rattlesnake and Pikes Peak claims cover over 8 kilometers of possible extensions of the range front zones to the west, north and south of Lapon Canyon, adding several additional drill target areas to the Lapon Gold Project. Rattlesnake and Pikes Peak contain numerous historical workings that consist of, milling facilities several adits at different levels, underground workings with vertical shafts, and a network of existing roads providing access to connect all the historical workings.

Small-scale high-grade mining began at Lapon Canyon in 1914. Approximately 600 meters of drifts and raises were developed from two adits and a two-stamp mill was built. Further underground work was carried out, returning numerous assay values in the range of one ounce per ton, with a sample at the end of an adit returning 20.6 ounces per ton. (National Instrument 43-101, Montgomery and Barr, 2004). Additional work at Lapon Canyon in the following years, included the installation of a ball mill and milling facilities.

Walker Announces Drill Results and Exploration Update From the Lapon Gold Project

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – October 17, 2019) – Walker River Resources Corp. (TSXV: WRR) (“Walker” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce additional drill results from the 2019 reverse circulation (“RC“) drill programs and a update to ongoing work in the geological exploration program at the Lapon Gold Project, located approximately 60 kilometres southeast of Yerington, Nevada.

Drilling on the Lapon Rose Zone has focussed on the contacts, geometry, and structure of the alteration/fault zone which harbours the higher and lower grade gold mineralization. Potential extensions of previously higher grade structures ( 31.1 g/t Au over13.7 meters in LC18-29, 12.85 g/t Au over 9.2 meters in LC16-14, 48.02 g/t over 13.7 meters in LC16-10, among others, all previously announced) were not drilled, rather the width of the alteration zone was the primary focus. Drilling has now shown the zone has increased to over 250 meters in width, from the previously indicated 150 meters and open to the south. In addition, drilling has revealed a previously unknown gold mineralized zone underneath the granite (previously announced in LC19-35).

Key Highlights:

  • Significantly, all the drill holes carried out in the Lapon Rose alteration/fault Zone have returned gold mineralization.
  • To date, mineralization has been discovered in a broad, altered, fractured and brecciated NE trending structural zone 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.
  • In April, 2019, the Company received a 2-year extension from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (the “BLM”) for its Notice of Intent (the “NOI”) exploration permit to conduct further drilling on the Lapon Canyon Gold Project,
  • Walker’s initial geological mapping and prospecting on the Project followed by its drill programs has demonstrated the potential for the emplacement of significant gold mineralization.
  • The 2019 exploration program is focused on the expansion and delineation of the gold mineralized zones discovered by the company as well as exploring other areas of the project in the search for new mineralization and potential discoveries

The Lapon Rose Zone has now been drilled over a strike length of some 365 meters. The width of the zone now exceeds 250 meters, and the zone has been drilled over a vertical extent of 400 meters. The zone remains open along strike and depth.

Future Exploration

Drilling and exploration (geological mapping, prospecting and sampling) continue in different areas at the Lapon Gold Project.

Rattlesnake Front Range Area

Initial sampling from an historical adit in an intensely altered zone returned 17.36 g/t Au, and 13.9 g/t Ag. New drill roads and pads are complete, drilling is presently underway.

Lapon Canyon

New drill roads and pads are complete. Initial drill targets include, continuation of exploration and expansion of the Lapon Rose Zone, the new zone encountered in LC 19-35, and the new Honeypot target discovered during drill road and pad construction. The Honeypot target is located between Adit A and Adit B, visible gold was noted in an outcrop during construction.

Pikes Peak

Initial sampling at Pikes Peak returned values of 9g/t Au, 39.4 g/t Ag, and 2.22% Cu. Surface exploration and planning of the initial drill program is presently underway.

Finally, the corporate web site is currently being updated to a new interactive site, the Company expects the new web site to be back up and online shortly.

Drilling will focus on the Lapon Rose and the new Rattlesnake Range Front areas of the Lapon Gold Project. The Company has been granted an additional 2-year Notice of Intent (“NOI“) exploration permit by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (“BLM“) for drilling on the new Rattlesnake Range Front area, where a new discovery was previously announced (see news release 09-04-19). The Company can amend the NOI exploration permit over the next 2-years to increase the permitted disturbance areas for additional drill sites and access roads at Rattlesnake.

Key Highlights:

  • To date, mineralization has been discovered in a broad, altered, fractured and brecciated NE trending structural zone 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.
  • In April 2019, the Company received a 2-year extension from the BLM for its NOI exploration permit to conduct further drilling on Lapon Canyon.
  • Walker’s initial geological mapping and prospecting on the Project followed by its drill programs has demonstrated the potential for the emplacement of significant gold mineralization.
  • The 2019 exploration program is focused on the expansion and delineation of the gold mineralized zones discovered by the Company as well as Regional Exploration of other areas of the Project in the search for new mineralization and potential new discoveries.

Drilling will begin over the next few weeks, and the Company is planning for some 20 drill holes.

At the Lapon Rose zone, drilling discovered a new, previously unknown gold bearing alteration located some 400 feet from the south of the presently known gold bearing zone. Notably this mineralization was discovered below the granite.

Regional exploration on the company’s new Rattlesnake range front portion of the Lapon project (four kilometres and west and 650 metres lower than Lapon Rose) has returned values of 17.36 g/t Au and 13.9 g/t Ag, from the interior of an historical adit.

Regional exploration, (geological mapping, prospecting and sampling) on the Company’s new Pikes Peak portion (“Pikes Peak“) of the Lapon Gold Project has returned values of 9 g/t Au, 39.4 g/t Ag, including 2.22% Cu (see news release 09-04-19).

The Lapon Rose Zone has now been drilled over a strike length of some 365 meters. The width of the zone exceeds 150 meters, and the zone has been drilled over a vertical extent of 400 meters. The zone remains open along strike and depth.

The 2019 drilling programs are designed to expand gold mineralized zones discovered by the Company and to discover and delineate new gold mineralized zones. Further results from the 2019 drill program are expected to be released shortly.

In addition, high grade gold and associated metals exist on Pikes Peak and Rattlesnake (see news release 09-04-19). Sampling has not yet been completed at Rattlesnake. An initial helicopter assisted reconnaissance program resulted in the discovery of an intensely altered and silicified zone, with sulphide mineralization at Rattlesnake. Historical workings were discovered at Pikes Peak and Rattlesnake, consisting of milling facilities, adits, shafts, drifts, open cuts and prospect pits.

Michel David, President states: “We continue to be excited and encouraged by results from our drilling and regional geological sampling programs. Not only have we discovered new gold, copper, and silver mineralization, our exploration programs have expanded our understanding of the Project and dramatically increased its potential. We continue our ongoing exploration program and anticipate further encouraging results.”

Finally, the Company announces it is granting 2,000,000 incentive stock options to certain officers, directors, consultants, and employees of the Company to purchase up to a total of 2,000,000 common shares of the Company at a price of $0.105 per common share for a period of five years.

The stock options are subject to the terms of the Company’s stock option plan and approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

  • The 2019 exploration program is focused on the expansion and delineation of the gold mineralized zones discovered by the Company as well as Regional Exploration of other areas of the Project in the search for new mineralization and potential new discoveries.Results have been received from the first four holes drilled These holes were designed to ascertain contact angles  and thicknesses of the fresh granites and the dioritic intrusive at Adit A. Hole 19- 34 was lost in a fault and did not reach its intended depth.

    Notably, hole 19- 35 discovered a new altered and gold mineralized zone below granite some 400 feet south of the company’s previous drilling and discoveries on the Lapon Rose zone. The results are detailed in the Assay Table below:

The Lapon Rose Zone has now been drilled over a strike length of some 365 meters. The width of the zone exceeds 150 meters, and the zone has been drilled over a vertical extent of 400 meters. The zone remains open along strike and depth.

The initial 2019 drill program was designed to expand gold mineralized zones discovered by the Company and to discover and delineate new gold mineralized zones. Further results from the 2019 drill program are expected to be released shortly.

Walker also announces initial results from the Regional mapping and prospecting programs on the newly acquired Pikes Peak and Rattlesnake Range Front (RF) claims. Initial prospecting by the Company returned up to 17.36 g/t Au from an old adit on the Rattlesnake range front. A total of 30 samples were collected from outcrops and old workings. These samples focused on mineralized shear zones and associated quartz veins, significant results are detailed in Table 1.

As shown in the above table high-grade gold and associated metals exist on Pikes Peak and Rattlesnake. Sampling has not yet been completed at Rattlesnake. An initial helicopter assisted reconnaissance program resulted in the discovery of an intensely altered and silicified zone, with sulphide mineralization at Rattlesnake. Historical workings were discovered at Pikes Peak and Rattlesnake, consisting of milling facilities, adits, shafts, drifts, open cuts and prospect pits.

Michel David, President states: “We continue to be excited and encouraged by results from our drilling and regional geological sampling programs. Not only have we discovered new gold, copper, and silver mineralization, our exploration programs have expanded our understanding of the Project and dramatically increased its potential. We continue our ongoing exploration program and anticipate further encouraging results.”

About the Lapon Gold Project

The Lapon Gold Project consists of 147 claims (2940 acres) that includes Lapon Canyon, the newly acquired Pikes Peaks claims 4 kilometers to the north and the Rattlesnake Range Front claims 3 kilometers to the west and over 600 meters lower than the present drilling at Lapon Canyon. The Lapon Gold Project is situated in the Wassuk Range, easily accessible by secondary state roads from the main highway (25 kilometres). A state grid power transmission line passes within three kilometres of the Lapon Project.

The Lapon Gold Project is located within the Walker Lane shear zone, a 100-kilometre-wide structural corridor extending in a southeast direction from Reno, Nevada. Within this trend, numerous gold, silver, and copper mines are located, notably the historic Comstock Lode mines in Virginia City. Also, the past producing Esmeralda/Aurora gold mine, with reported production of some one million ounces and the Anaconda open pit copper mine in Yerington, Nevada.

The Lapon Gold Project is cut by a series of steeply dipping cross fault structures cutting across the Walker trend, analogous to other cross fault structures responsible for many gold and base metal deposits in the world. These faults are heavily sheared and altered (sericite, iron oxides) with abundant silica, varying in width from 60 to 300 meters. Four of these structures have been discovered at Lapon Canyon, and at least two can be traced for over four kilometers.

The Rattlesnake and Pikes Peak claims cover over 8 kilometers of possible extensions of the range front zones to the west, north and south of Lapon Canyon, adding several additional drill target areas to the Lapon Gold Project. Rattlesnake and Pikes Peak contain numerous historical workings that consist of, milling facilities several adits at different levels, underground workings with vertical shafts, and a network of existing roads providing access to connect all the historical workings.

Small-scale high-grade mining began at Lapon Canyon in 1914. Approximately 600 meters of drifts and raises were developed from two adits and a two-stamp mill was built. Further underground work was carried out, returning numerous assay values in the range of one ounce per ton, with a sample at the end of an adit returning 20.6 ounces per ton. (National Instrument 43-101, Montgomery and Barr, 2004). Additional work at Lapon Canyon in the following years, included the installation of a ball mill and milling facilities.

Sampling Methodology, Chain of Custody, Quality Control and Quality Assurance

All sampling was conducted under the supervision of the Company’s project geologists and the chain of custody from the drill to the sample preparation facility was continuously monitored. A blank or certified reference material was inserted approximately every tenth sample. The Lapon samples were delivered to ALS Minerals certified laboratory facility in Reno, NV. The samples were crushed, pulverized and the sample pulps digested and analyzed for gold using fire assay fusion and a 50g gravimetric finish. Higher grade samples used a 1kg screen fire assay with screen to 100 microns and 50g gravimetric finish

Walker Announces Start of Drill Program

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – May 21, 2019) – Walker River Resources Corp. (TSXV: “WRR“) (“Walker” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that the Company’s 2019 initial 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.
  • In April, 2019, the Company received a 2-year extension from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (the”BLM“) for its Notice of Intent (the”NOI“) exploration permit to conduct further drilling on the Lapon Canyon Gold Project.
  • 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

The 2019 drill program will build off the success of the 2018 drill program that was successful in expanding known gold mineralized zones previously discovered by the Company, including the discovery and delineation of new gold mineralized zones. The 2019 drill program will also utilize the technical and geological information on the structural trends acquired 2018. The construction of new drill pad emplacement and drill access routes are now complete.

Drilling will focus on infill and expansion drilling at the Lapon Rose zone, follow up drilling and delineation of new gold mineralized zones, as well as drilling other targets. This includes 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 mineralization zones which appear to be open in all directions.”

The Company is also carrying out a detailed geological and mapping survey of the claim group. An initial helicopter assisted geological mapping recon has resulted in the discovery of an intensely altered silicified zone with sulphide mineralization on the front range of the Lapon Project. The zone consists of sedimentary rocks and shows evidence of historical workings and one adit, located some 3 kilometres west and 500 meters lower down of the present drilling. This zone will be the focus of upcoming work.

Walker’s initial geological mapping and prospecting on the Project demonstrated the potential for the emplacement of significant gold mineralization. Previous drilling over the last four years from 2015 to 2018 has confirmed this potential.

Walker Provides Lapon Canyon Gold Project Update

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – April 17, 2019) – Walker River Resources Corp. (TSXV: WRR) (“Walker” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that it has received a 2-year extension from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (the”BLM”) for its Notice of Intent (the”NOI”) exploration permit to conduct further drilling on the Lapon Canyon Gold Project, located approximately 60 kilometres southeast of Yerington, Nevada.

The NOI exploration permit with the BLM covers the disturbance areas created to establish drill road access and drill sites within the Lapon Canyon Project. The Company, when possible, attempts to drill multiple holes from single drill pads on existing roads to minimize the amount of surface disturbance created by drilling activities. This practise has allowed the Company to drill many more holes under a NOI than would be possible if each drill hole was drilled from a single drill site. The Company has secured the required bonding to cover reclamation on the areas of permitted disturbance for the 2019 drill program. The Company can amend the NOI exploration permit over the next 2 years to increase the permitted disturbance areas for additional drill sites and access roads at the Lapon Project.

At this time, the Company has planned for an additional 30-hole drill hole program on the project with preparation for drill mobilization and start up well underway.

Michel David, President & CEO of the Company says, “We are very pleased that the BLM has extended the Notice of Intent permit for the next 2 years. This will provide the Company with the ability to continue to drill the Lapon Canyon Project, without any permitting delays. In many instances, we have been able to drill multiple holes from each permitted drill site, maximizing our permitted and bonded drill sites without exceeding our permitted disturbance amounts.” Mr. David continues: “Planning of the upcoming 2019 Exploration and Drill Programs is almost complete. We are now fully permitted for the upcoming 2019 exploration and drill programs that will begin shortly.”

The 2018 drill program was successful in expanding known gold mineralized zones previously discovered by the Company, including the discovery and delineation of new gold mineralized zones. The drilling also was designed to acquire technical and geological information on the structural trends. This was essential, in the preparation of the up coming 2019 drill program, for planning of drill pad emplacement and drill access routes.

The Company’s consultant, Fladgate Exploration Consulting Corp. (“Fladgate”) of Thunder Bay, ON., (see news release 02-28-18) a full-service mineral exploration consulting firm, has completed its interpretation, compilation and update of the Lapon Project’s digital database with the 2018 drill results. Fladgate’s initial interpretations of the Lapon digital database enhanced the planning, design and success of Walker’s late 2018 drill program. The information from the compilation and interpretation of the 2018 drill program will greatly aid in acceleration of drilling, geological mapping and understanding of the gold mineralization at the Lapon Project.

Planning of the upcoming 2019 Exploration and Drill Programs is nearing completion. The drill program is scheduled to begin during the first week of May. Further updates on the Lapon Project will be released as they become available.

Finally, the Company wishes to welcome Mr. Yves Caron, geol (OGQ), M.Sc. to its advisory board. Mr. Caron has extensive experience in exploration and development of precious and industrial metal projects. Yves has also been a board member of several active exploration companies with advanced projects.
