RC drill hole LC21-57 returned 1.02 g/t Au over 24.4 meters, and 2.12 g/t Au over 9.2 meters, at depths starting at approximately 9 meters.
Examples of high-grade drill hole intercepts include: 48 g/t over 13.7 meters in hole LC 16-10; 39 g/t over 12.0 meters in hole LC 16-12; 31 g/t over 13.7 meters in hole LC 18-29; 96 g/t over 13.7 meters in hole LC 19- 42; and 94 g/t over 6.1 meters in hole LC 19- 43.
The present drill program at the Lapon Canyon portion of the Project, consists of systematic drilling on section for geological modelling purposes.
An additional mapping and sampling program is currently underway, initial results returned values of 9 g/t Au and 2.22% Cu from outcrop.
The Rattlesnake portion contains historical adits and extensive gold placer mining activities, all within the altered sheared zone encountered at Lapon Canyon, some 600 meters higher and 3 km on strike from Rattlesnake.
The Lapon Gold Project consists of 147 claims , and is located approximately 60 kilometres southeast of Yerington, Nevada.
The Lapon Gold Project includes Lapon Canyon, the Pikes Peak claims located 4 kilometres to the north, and the Rattlesnake and Range Front claims 3 kilometres to the west and over 600 meters lower than the present drilling at Lapon Canyon.
Lapon Canyon hosts historical high grade gold mining with approximately 2000 feet of undergoing workings in three adits.
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.
