Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSX.V: LG) (OTCQB: LGCXF) announced it is accelerating the expiry of outstanding warrants originally issued on September 1, 2023. The company triggered the acceleration after its common shares traded at or above the required price threshold for 20 consecutive trading days ending April 27, 2026. The new expiry date is set for May 18, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Toronto time. After this deadline, any unexercised warrants will expire, and holders must submit exercise documentation and payment prior to the cutoff.
This move is significant for Lahontan Gold as it could potentially bring in additional capital if warrant holders choose to exercise. The company, which focuses on gold and silver exploration in Nevada, is advancing its flagship Santa Fe Mine project toward production. The Santa Fe Mine has a past production record of 359,202 ounces of gold and 702,067 ounces of silver between 1988 and 1995. According to a NI 43-101 technical report, the project hosts an Indicated Mineral Resource of 1,539,000 oz Au Eq (48,393,000 tonnes grading 0.92 g/t Au and 7.18 g/t Ag) and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 411,000 oz Au Eq (16,760,000 tonnes grading 0.74 g/t Au and 3.25 g/t Ag).
Lahontan plans to update the Santa Fe Preliminary Economic Assessment and drill test its satellite West Santa Fe project during 2025. The company holds four top-tier gold and silver exploration properties in the Walker Lane of Nevada, a mining-friendly jurisdiction. The technical content of this news release has been reviewed by Michael Lindholm, CPG, Independent Consulting Geologist to Lahontan Gold Corp., a Qualified Person under NI 43-101.
For investors, the accelerated warrant expiry creates a near-term catalyst. If all warrants are exercised, it would provide the company with additional working capital to fund its exploration and development activities. This is particularly relevant as the company advances its Santa Fe project, which has significant resource potential. The announcement also demonstrates that Lahontan's stock has met a performance threshold, which may be viewed positively by the market.
The warrant acceleration was announced via a press release distributed by Rocks & Stocks, a specialized communications platform for the mining industry.

The outcome of the warrant exercise will be closely watched by investors as an indicator of market confidence in Lahontan's prospects.
