# Nevada Canyon Announces Significant Gold Intercepts at The Lapon Canyon Gold Project *2025-12-11T08:00:00-05:00* Nevada Canyon Announces Significant Gold Intercepts at The Lapon Canyon Gold Project Reno, Nevada--(Newsfile Corp. - December 11, 2025) - **Nevada Canyon Gold Corp. (OTCQX: NGLD) (the "Company" or "Nevada Canyon") **is pleased to announce the release of additional drill results from the 2025 reverse circulation ("RC") drill program on the Lapon Canyon Gold Project, (the "Project" or "Lapon Canyon"), by Walker River Resources Corp ("Walker River") (see WRR news release Dec. 11, 2025). Lapon Canyon is 100% owned by Walker River and located within the prolific Walker Lane gold trend in Nevada, 40 miles southeast of Yerington NV. Nevada Canyon has an $5M Exploration Stream Earn-in Agreement for 50% of the Project (see Company news release Feb. 3, 2025) and holds a 3% Net Smelter Royalty ("NSR"). Spending at Lapon Canyon by the Company is over $1.4M to date. Walker River reported that the 2025 drill programs have resulted in the discovery of intrusive related gold mineralization at Lapon Canyon significantly increasing the size potential of the Project with much wider gold intercepts, prior drill programs had returned higher grade narrower intercepts. This discovery indicates a high potential for significant gold emplacement within new deeper-seated rock units. To advance the understanding of these zones, geophysical surveys are being planned to help identify future drill targets in the deeper-seated intrusive bodies. **Highlights:** Results from drilling on the new upper drill roads continue to confirm and extend gold mineralization to the south and the east of the Hotspot zone, results include: - **3.05 g/t Au **over **53.3 m **starting at 117.4 m, including **6.67 g/t Au over 18.3 m **in hole LC-25-163 - **1.49 g/t Au **over**47.2 m **starting at 86.9 m, including **13.8 g/t Au over 1.5 m **in hole LC-25-162 - **1.14 g/t Au **over **45.7 m**starting at 88.4 m in hole LC-25-159 - **1.05 g/t Au**over **29.0 m**starting at 111.3 m in hole LC-25-161 - **1.01 g/t Au**over **54.8 m**starting at 105.2 m in hole LC-25-164 - **1.03 g/t Au**over **45.7 m**starting at 79.3 m in hole LC-25-165 - **0.98 g/t Au **over**19.8 m **starting at 94.5 m in hole LC-25-157 where the gold mineralization is within granite, which is notable. Walker River also reported it was notable that the gold encountered in drillholes LC-25-158 to 165 is contained within monzonitic units. The presence of monzonite as the host rock suggests the potential for a monzonite porphyry system- deposit types that are associated with very large gold and copper bearing systems in Nevada. The increased presence of copper from the multi-element Geochem sampling program also supports this interpretation. "Results from the 2025 exploration campaign have been much better than anticipated. We have additional results pending and are already planning a geophysical survey to identify the drill targets into the deep-seated rock units for our next drilling campaign. The excitement for the potential of this project is really growing," commented Lisa Doddridge, President and Director of the Company. "All the work at the Project continues to confirm the potential for large scale mineralization and the potential value of Lapon Canyon. Drilling to date will be the basis of a NI 43-101 compliant resource that is expected sometime in 2026, the first major milestone for the Project." The 2025 drill program at Lapon Canyon focused on exploration and resource definition, at the existing Hotspot deposit and the extensions of the deposit along strike and down dip. This drilling at Hotspot has significantly expanded the footprint of gold mineralization to the south and the east. Both historical and current drill results continue to indicate that the gold system is predominantly sub-horizontal to moderately south-dipping in geometry, with evidence suggesting the presence of more steeply dipping, high-grade shoots developed within the broader mineralized zones.
