Walker River Resources Corp. announced that reverse circulation ("RC") drilling is scheduled to re-start in early June at the Lapon Gold Project, located in Mineral County, Nevada, 60 km SE of Yerington, NV. Initial drilling will begin at the Lapon Canyon portion of the Lapon Gold 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. Drilling at Lapon Canyon's Hotspot Zone will be carried out if different directions (azimuth) from the same drill pad.

Allowing Walker to carry out systematic drilling on section with pads placed at every 30 meters or so, with up to five holes per pad. Additional drill access road and pad construction has been completed for this current and future drill programs. The mineralization is not visible at surface, as it is overlain by approximately 3 meters of loose colluvium, making drill road access and pad construction quicker at less cost. The results from the 2024 drill programs and subsequent data compilation will enable the completion of an initial NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource on the Project.
