Nevada Canyon Signs Lapon Canyon Royalty Agreement
Reno, Nevada. May 28, 2024, Nevada Canyon Gold Corp. (OTC Markets: NGLD) (The “Company” or “Nevada Canyon”) is pleased to announce it has signed, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Nevada Canyon, LLC, a binding Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire a 2% net smelter returns royalty (“NSR”) on the Lapon Canyon Project, (the “Project”) located in Mineral County, Nevada.
Nevada Canyon will acquire a 2% NSR on the Project from Walker River Resources, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Walker River Resources Corp. (“Walker River”) Walker River owns a 100% undivided interest in the Project, consisting of 96 unpatented lode mining claims identified as the Sleeper and Lapon Rose claim groups situated in Mineral County, Nevada, within the northern portion of the Walker Lane gold trend. Nevada Canyon previously acquired an additional 1% NSR from two individual third party royalty holders on the Sleeper 36 claim group, that forms part of the Project.
Lapon Canyon hosts historical, high grade gold mining with approximately 2,000 feet of underground workings in three adits. Historical underground work returned numerous assay values in the one-ounce-per-ton range. (NI 43-101, Montgomery and Barr, 2004). The Project is easily accessible by secondary state roads from the main highway (15 miles), and is located approximately 40 miles southeast of Yerington, Nevada. A state power grid transmission line passes within 2 miles of the Project.
Walker River has completed considerable exploration work to date, with numerous drill hole intercepts that have indicated significant gold mineralization. The drill programs at Lapon Canyon will consist of definition and systematic drilling on section for geological modelling purposes, exploration drilling to discover new gold mineralization, extension of known gold mineralization, in several directions, including at depth. The results from these drill programs and subsequent data compilation will enable the completion of an initial compliant mineral resource on the Project.
Nevada Canyon will acquire the 2.0-% NSR on the Lapon Canyon Project for total consideration of USD $300,000 cash.
“This adds another outstanding Nevada royalty with significant upside,” said Nevada Canyon President and CEO, Alan Day, “The additional Lapon Canyon royalty interest increases our growing royalty portfolio and with all Nevada Canyon royalty purchases, it offers excellent leverage to gold prices.”
