| ABSTRACT: | Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 26, 2019) - Walker River Resources Corp. (TSXV: WRR) ("Walker" or the "Company") is pleased to announce additional drill results from the late 2018 reverse circulation ("RC") drill program on the Lapon CanyonGold Project, located approximately 60 kilometres southeast of Yerington, Nevada. RC drill hole LC18-31 returned 2.28 g/t Au over 42.7 meters at a depth of 24.4 meters and 159 g/t over 1.5 meters at a depth of 83.8 meters. The Lapon Rose Zone has now been drilled over a strike length of some 365 meters. The width of the zone exceeds 150 meters, and the zone has been drilled over a vertical extent of 400 meters. The zone remains open along strike and depth. RC drill hole LC 18-31 was drilled to extend the mineralized zone and was located some 50 meters away from the nearest drill intersection. The Company was not aware of previous mining activity here, demonstrating that the previous workings along the strike length of the zone were more extensive than mapped (Newell, 1936). The lower grade intersection demonstrates the robust nature of the system. Notably, after exiting the workings at 93 meters, drilling returned an assay result of 84.2 g/t Au over 1.5 meters. The Company is not including nor relying on this result in our Assay table as it may represent contamination or mine rubble. RC drill hole LC 18-32 was drilled to establish the fault contact between the country rock (granite) and the altered/sheared zone which carries the mineralization. This was necessary to acquire geological information prior to follow up drilling of the discovery in Hole 19 (see news release 11-8-17). RC drill hole LC 18-33 was drilled to acquire geological information near the top of the mountain range where outcrop is covered by colluvium. The hole encountered granite, but interestingly, and significantly, the hole intersected mild alteration (FeOx) in a leached granite containing anomalous gold values ranging from 0.11 g/t Au to 0.65 g/t Au over some 18 meters. | |
