Modeling of drill data during the mineral resource \n    estimation process suggests that gold and silver mineralization likely extends onto the York claims. This targeting concept was in part validated by \n    Lahontan\u2019s recent drilling campaign where reverse-circulation drill hole <strong>YOR25-001R<\/strong> cut <strong>89.9 metres<\/strong> (45.7\u2013135.6 m) grading \n    <strong>0.23 g\/t gold<\/strong> (please see Lahontan Gold news release dated September 2, 2025). The Company is currently planning additional drilling at the York target \n    area for this Fall. With the addition of the York claims, the Company now owns or controls \n    <strong>415 unpatented lode mining claims<\/strong>, <strong>67 unpatented millsite claims<\/strong>, and <strong>24 patented lode mining claims<\/strong> \n    encompassing over <strong>2,832 ha (28.3 km\u00b2)<\/strong> of mineral rights in Nevada\u2019s Walker Lane.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <!-- CEO Quote -->\n  <blockquote style=\"margin:18px 0;padding:14px 16px;border-left:4px solid #d9d9d9;background:#fafafa;\">\n    <p style=\"margin:0;font-style:italic;\">\n      \u201cLahontan is excited to have completed the Purchase of the York claims. The gold and silver resource expansion potential, combined with the ability to\n      further layback the York pit in potential future mining operations, makes the Purchase a strategic acquisition for the Company. Lahontan now controls a\n      district-scale land package that, despite prolific past production and the completion of over 1,200 drill holes, remains largely unexplored with multiple\n      targets for resource expansion and new discoveries.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n    <p style=\"margin:8px 0 0 0;\"><strong>\u2014 Kimberly Ann<\/strong>, Founder, Chair, CEO, and President<\/p>\n  <\/blockquote>\n\n  <!-- Terms -->\n  <h2 style=\"margin:22px 0 10px 0;font-size:20px;\">Terms of the Purchase<\/h2>\n  <ul style=\"margin:0 0 16px 18px;\">\n    <li>Lahontan has paid Emergent\u2019s U.S. subsidiary, Golden Arrow Mining Corporation (\u201cGAMC\u201d), a sum of <strong>US$10,000<\/strong>.<\/li>\n    <li>Lahontan has issued GAMC a <strong>US$50,000 promissory note<\/strong>, with a <strong>1% per month interest rate<\/strong>, payable within six months of signing this announcement.<\/li>\n    <li>Lahontan has issued <strong>2,000,000 common shares<\/strong> of Lahontan Gold Corp. to Emergent.<\/li>\n    <li>GAMC will facilitate the transfer of the York Claims to Lahontan or its designee, to be completed within <strong>30 days<\/strong> of today\u2019s date.<\/li>\n    <li>As part of the transfer, Lahontan has granted GAMC a <strong>1% NSR royalty<\/strong> (the \u201cRoyalty\u201d) on the York Claims.
