LAHONTAN MOBILIZES DRILL RIG TO SANTA FE

Toronto, Ontario, June 2, 2025 – Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSXV:LG, OTCQB:LGCXF) (the

"Company" or "Lahontan") is pleased to announce that the Company has mobilized a reverse-circulation

(“RC”) drill rig and support equipment to its flagship Santa Fe Mine project in Nevada’s prolific Walker

Lane. Lahontan will initially concentrate Phase One of its 2025 drilling program on the Slab target area.

Drilling will commence on the patented lode mining claims and then expand onto lands administered by

the Federal Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) when formal approval of the Company’s Notice of

Intent (“NOI”) is received.

Kimberly Ann, Lahontan Gold Corp CEO, Executive Chair, and Founder commented: “Lahontan is excited

to begin its 2025 drill campaign at Santa Fe. The goal of the RC drilling program is to expand known gold

and silver resources in the Slab and York target areas in order to increase the inventory of potentially

minable precious metal ounces in this portion of the Santa Fe Mine project. Drilling will also provide

additional sample material for metallurgical testing as recommended in the Santa Fe Project Techn ical

report*. The Company anticipates initial assay results in a four to six week time frame”.
