Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSX.V: LG) (OTCQB: LGCXF) has received approval from the Federal Bureau of Land Management for its initial drill program at the West Santa Fe project, located near the company's flagship Santa Fe Mine project. The BLM approved Lahontan's Notice of Intent for drill sites on unpatented lode mining claims situated on federally administered lands.
The drilling program will focus on two primary objectives: validating historic drilling data and testing extensions to the known gold and silver mineralized system at West Santa Fe. This approval represents a significant regulatory milestone for the company, allowing it to proceed with systematic exploration on federal land. The proximity of West Santa Fe to the established Santa Fe project suggests potential operational synergies and resource consolidation opportunities.
Kimberly Ann, CEO and President of Lahontan Gold Corp., discussed the company's progress in a recent interview, highlighting the strategic importance of the West Santa Fe exploration program. The company describes itself as a mine development and exploration company focused on advancing its mineral properties.
