Lahontan Gold Corp. announced that it is has mobilized a reverse-circulation drill rig and support equipment to its Santa Fe Mine project located in the Walker Lane of mining friendly Nevada. The drill rig, a track-mounted MPD-1500, will begin drilling immediately in the Slab open pit target area at Santa Fe.

The previously announced drill program will total approximately 3,000 metres. The drill program will target areas that have the potential to greatly expand the project's Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") and help support a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") of the project planned for later this year.
