Lodestar Metals Receives Final BLM Drill Permit Approval and Defines New High-Priority DDIP Targets at Gold Run, Nevada
Lodestar clears final regulatory hurdle for Nevada drill campaign as geophysics reveal high-chargeability targets
The most recent news (March 10, 2026) announces that Lodestar has received final Bureau of Land Management (BLM) approval for its drilling permits at the Gold Run Property in Nevada. Simultaneously, the company released results from a Dipole-Dipole Induced Polarization (DDIP) survey which identified three significant trends (Central, Eastern, and Western) with high chargeability (up to 35 Mv/V). These anomalies are strike-extensive (600m to 800m) and partially coincide with known gold-silver prospects. The company is now moving into the execution phase, with site preparation beginning immediately upon final bonding confirmation.
The impact is Routine - Positive. While receiving a drill permit is a necessary milestone for any exploration company, it was largely expected following the January 20, 2026, update stating permits had been submitted. The geophysical results are technically encouraging as they provide specific "blind" targets (down-dip or under cover) that correlate with historical high-grade intercepts (e.g., 27.41 g/t Au). However, the news is not a "Game Changer" until the drill bit proves the presence of mineralization within these new IP anomalies. The company has successfully followed its timeline from target definition (Oct 2025) to financing (Feb 2026) to permitting (March 2026).
Lodestar Metals is focused on gold and silver exploration in Nevada. Its flagship Gold Run Project (Humboldt County) sits at the intersection of the Getchell and Battle Mountain-Eureka trends. The project features historical high-grade intercepts (e.g., 53.31 g/t Au over 15 feet) that the company is working to verify and expand. The company also holds the Peny Property (Lithium/VMS) in Manitoba, though it is currently a secondary focus.
