Walker Lane Resources Ltd. Announces An Aeromagnetic and Radiometric Airborne Survey will be Completed on its Tule Canyon Project, Walker Lane Gold Trend, Nevada

WLR · Price

Executive Summary

  • Walker Lane Resources has contracted Precision Geosurveys to conduct a 212 km airborne total‑magnetic and radiometric survey over the Tule Canyon Project in Nevada.
  • The survey will be flown at 30 m AGL on lines spaced 100 m apart, providing high‑resolution data to map altered volcanic stratigraphy and pinpoint drill targets.
  • Management indicates that results are expected to support a near‑term drilling program on the property.

Key Details

  • Survey Contractor: Precision Geosurveys Inc. (Reno, NV & Langley, BC).
  • Scope of Work: 212 line‑kilometers; line spacing = 100 m; flight altitude ≈ 30 m above ground.
  • Purpose:
  • Map complex altered volcanic stratigraphy on the Tule Canyon Project.
  • Identify second‑order magnetic anomalies that may correlate with precious‑metal mineralization.
  • Project Context:
  • Tule Canyon lies on a prominent magnetic deflection associated with the Sylvania Pluton, historically hosting high‑grade Au–Ag veins (e.g., up to 4,320 g/t Ag, 37.3 g/t Au at surface).
  • No modern drilling has been performed to date; the survey is intended to define drill targets for an upcoming program.
  • Management Comment: Kevin Brewer, President & CEO, stated the company is “very excited” to commence exploration and anticipates confirming a drilling program in the near future.
  • Historical Highlights (non‑material): Past mining includes placer work pre‑1848, hard‑rock operations at Dark Secret Mine (1890s) and later small open‑pit and heap‑leach activities; historic chip‑trench sample returned 40 m @ 0.469 g/t Au.
  • Additional Resources: Video presentation available on Silver Range’s website; further information on Walker Lane’s site.
