LAHONTAN CONFIRMS EASTERN EXTENSION TO SHALLOW GOLD

MINERALIZATION AT WEST SANTA FE

Toronto, Ontario, June 18, 2024. Lahontan Gold Corp (TSXV:LG, OTCQB:LGCXF) (the

"Company" or "Lahontan") is pleased to announce that it has confirmed an easterly extension of shallow

gold and silver mineralization at the Company’s West Santa Fe project located in Nevada’s prolific Walker

Lane only 13 kilometres from Lahontan’s Flagship Santa Fe Mine Project. Detailed fieldwork, including

geologic mapping, combined with reinterpretation of a previous magnetic geophysical survey, has

confirmed a near 1,000 metre extension of gold and silver mineralization from the area of closely spaced

historic drilling. The historic drilling, totally 171 drill holes for approximately 13,000 metres, defines

shallow, oxidized, gold and silver mineralization in the area of the Mindora underground mine. The recently

completed work shows that this zone of mineralization continues to the east, an area marked by numerous

shallow adits, prospect pits, and outcrops of hydrothermally altered rock. Analysis of the historic drilling

has already generated excellent targets for drilling, however, with this new extension to gold and silver

mineralization confirmed, the size of the potential mineralized zone and drilling target is dramatically

increased.

Kimberly Ann, Lahontan Founder, CEO, President, and Director commented: “The completion of this work

at West Santa Fe is vital to understanding the full size and therefore potential of the West Santa Fe project.

We will continue detailed mapping and sampling at West Santa Fe to finalize drill targets, especially in the

area of this newly confirmed easterly extension to gold and silver mineralization. We have also completed

modeling conceptual pit shells based on the historic drilling, this data will guide confirmatory drilling in

the Mindora mine area. Overall, great progress at West Santa Fe”.
