Lahontan Gold Corp.
Lahontan Gold Corp. holds four gold-silver exploration properties in Nevada's Walker Lane, anchored by the past-producing Santa Fe Mine (359,202 oz gold and 702,067 oz silver produced 1988-1995 via open-pit heap leach). An updated Mineral Resource Estimate is nearly complete, feeding a revised PEA targeted for completion by end of August 2026, with Nevada state mine permitting on track for 2027 ahead of a planned restart.
Lifecycle Milestones
A relative ranking of how closely this company matches the profile of juniors that have actually been acquired — not a probability, and not a reason to buy. Acquisitions are rare: only a few dozen significant deals happen a year across a universe of thousands of juniors, so even a high score here describes a long shot. The strongest signal the underlying research identifies — whether a major already holds a JV, earn-in, or 5–19.9% strategic stake — isn't tracked yet and is absent from this score.

Insiders, Investors & Smart Money
Notable shareholders and insiders whose involvement is worth knowing about, plus what we're seeing from institutional/large-investor activity.
Lahontan Gold's register includes three well-known gold-sector specialist investors -- ASA Gold and Precious Metals (a long-running dedicated gold fund, just over 10%), Lawrence Lepard's Equity Management Associates, and Extract Advisors -- plus a small stake held by operating gold producer Victoria Gold Corp. However, Lepard has been a heavy net seller through 2025 and into 2026, even as director Antony Rowe bought shares in March 2026.

Reports, Presentations & Documents
We haven't parsed this company's PEA/PFS/FS recommendations yet — cut-off grade, mine life, DCF/NPV, and the report's own next-steps guidance are a planned research pass, not live data for every company yet.
Lahontan Gold's Santa Fe Mine development and permitting update (20 May 2026), restating the current NI 43-101 Mineral Resource for the 100%-owned Santa Fe Mine, Nevada (effective 10 Dec 2024): Indicated 48,393,000 t at 0.92 g/t Au / 7.18 g/t Ag for 1,539,000 oz AuEq, plus Inferred 16,760,000 t at 0.74 g/t Au / 3.25 g/t Ag for 411,000 oz AuEq, all pit-constrained. An updated Mineral Resource Estimate and a revised PEA (with mine infrastructure, heap-leach design) are in preparation, targeted for completion September 2026 -- after this research pass -- so no NPV/IRR/mine-life figures exist yet.
