Lahontan also reported that geotechnical drill hole CAL26-02C intersected 90.8 meters grading 0.44 g/t gold equivalent below the current Calvada resource pit shell, including 12.3 meters grading 1.22 g/t gold equivalent. The company said the Slab West discovery has the potential to add significant new gold resources at Santa Fe, while the Calvada results further support confidence in the project's existing resource model as it advances toward permitting and a targeted mine construction timeline in 2027.
