Gold’s resurgence in 2025 has captured investor attention, and Lahontan Gold (TSX.V: LG) (OTCQB: LGCXF) is staking its claim in that momentum. This Canada-based exploration company holds four high-potential gold and silver properties in Nevada’s Walker Lane, including the flagship Santa Fe Mine, and is actively advancing work on expansion, permitting and drilling. Drawing from past production and current upside potential, Lahontan is aiming to transform its Walker Lane footprint into a developer with meaningful scale.
Lahontan Gold is focused on unlocking value in oxide gold and silver systems within projects that have historic production, existing infrastructure and jurisdictional support (ibn.fm/idTV3). The company’s flagship project is Santa Fe, a past-producing, open-pit gold and silver mine where it now pursues resource expansion, metallurgical optimization and permitting work (ibn.fm/dBVlD). Additional assets, including West Santa Fe, Moho and Redlich, provide exploration upside and serve as potential satellites to support growth (ibn.fm/TOOii).
The Santa Fe Mine project has a notable pedigree. Between 1988 and 1995, prior open-pit, heap-leach operations produced an estimated 356,000 ounces of gold and 784,000 ounces of silver. Today, Lahontan reports a National Instrument 43-101 compliant Indicated Mineral Resource of roughly 1,539,000 ounces gold equivalent at 0.99 g/t, and an Inferred resource of 411,000 ounces gold equivalent at 0.76 g/t, constrained to a pit shell. As it stands, Santa Fe is slated for further drilling at York and Slab, metallurgical refinement, and continuing permitting efforts.
In June, Lahontan received approval from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management for additional drill sites on federal lands at Santa Fe, expanding the company’s ability to test extensions into the Slab and York areas (ibn.fm/OhC5T). That approval opens the door to testing significant resource growth potential beyond known limits. The company intends to commence drilling shortly under its 2025 program as part of phase 1 work.
Meanwhile, at West Santa Fe the company sees upside potential as a satellite to the main Santa Fe project. Historical sampling and mapping indicate high gold and silver grades, rock chips reaching up to 2.61 g/t Au and as much as 899 g/t Ag, leading Lahontan to propose initial drilling of approximately 3,000 meters to define a formal mineral resource estimate (ibn.fm/Uxp4v). The exploration target there is conceptual, but the style and structural setting are similar to Santa Fe, offering potential leverage to the core asset.
Lahontan’s approach is to balance near-term development with exploration upside. The company views Santa Fe as its production anchor and is working to derisk the project via permitting, metallurgical refinements and resource expansion. At the same time, the satellite assets give optionality and growth potential should additional discoveries be made. The management team strives for capital efficiency and advancing milestones while keeping exploration optionality alive.
Investors drawn to gold in 2025 will notice that juniors such as Lahontan offer a leveraged way to ride the metal’s upside. Unlike major producers, juniors have the potential to deliver outsized returns if exploration and development go well. Lahontan’s presence in Walker Lane is an advantage: Nevada is a premier U.S. mining jurisdiction with supportive regulation, infrastructure, workforce and mining culture, reducing some of the geological and permitting unpredictability seen elsewhere.
As Lahontan advances Santa Fe and its satellite properties, the company seeks to convert resource ounces into economic viability. The next major catalysts include results from the 2025 drilling program, updates to the Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) and permitting progress. If those steps validate the project’s scale and cost structure, Lahontan could emerge as a new gold developer in a district known for delivering value.
