Walker River Resources (WRR-V) March 24, '15 has started its exploration drilling campaign on its wholly owned Lapon Canyon gold project, located approximately 60 kilometres south of Yerington, Nev. Walker's initial drill program will target potential high grade gold mineralization in large cross cutting shear and alteration structures and down dip extensions of previously mined (1930's) high grade gold mineralization. On site activities are scheduled to begin in mid-April 2015. Results and compilation from this initial drill program will be utilized in the planning of a follow up drilling program. The Lapon Canyon gold project consists of 36 claims (720 acres) located approximately 60 kilometers south of Yerington, Nevada, in the Wasuk Range, easily accessible by secondary state roads from the main highway (25 kilometers). A power transmission line passes within three kilometers of the property. The Lapon Canyon project is located within the Walker Lane shear zone, a 100 km wide structural corridor extending in a southeast direction from Reno. The past producing historic Comstock lode silver/gold mine is located within this trend, as is the past producing Esmeralda/Aurora gold mine, with reported production of about one million ounces. Nevada Copper Corp.'s new mine, Pumpkin Hollow, is also located within the Wasuk Range about 25 km north of Lapon Canyon. The Lapon Canyon project is cut by a series of steeply dipping cross fault structures cutting across the Walker Trend, analagous to other cross fault structures responsible for many gold and base metal deposits in the world. These faults are heavily sheared and altered with abundant silica. They vary in width from 60 to 300 meters. Four of these structures can be seen in Lapon Canyon, and two can be traced over 4 km. The gold mineralization is located within en echelon structures within these faults. Small scale high grade gold mining began in 1914. The mine area was at the top of the canyon and at that time it was extremely difficult to access, indicating that the mineralization was rich enough to drag equipment and supplies up a steep canyon. About 600 meters of drifts were developed and a two stamp mill was built. Further limited underground work was carried out, returning numerous assay values in the range of one ounce per ton, with a sample at the end of an adit returning 20.6 ounces per ton (NI 43-101 Montgomery and Barr, 2004) Surface sampling by Walker returned a result of 0.398 ounces per ton gold (see news release Jan 9, 2014) E.Gauthier,geol., Eng (OIQ) acts as the qualified person to the Company and has reviewed and approved the contents of this release.
