(TSX.V: LG) (OTCQB: LGCXF) has entered into a six-month consulting agreement with GRA Enterprises LLC DBA National Inflation Association (NIA) to provide investor relations and communication services. The $50,000 agreement, effective July 16, 2025, may be extended for up to one year under additional payment terms. NIA, based in Mooresville, North Carolina, will use its targeted email distribution, website features, and blog network to enhance visibility of Lahontan's growth story and project developments.
This partnership represents a strategic move by Lahontan Gold to increase market awareness of its mineral exploration activities in Nevada's Walker Lane region. The company holds four gold and silver exploration properties, with its flagship Santa Fe Mine project having historical production of 359,202 ounces of gold and 702,067 ounces of silver between 1988 and 1995. The engagement of specialized investor relations services indicates the company's commitment to advancing its mining projects toward production.
The Santa Fe Mine project contains significant mineral resources, with a Canadian National Instrument 43-101 compliant Indicated Mineral Resource of 1,539,000 oz Au Eq and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 411,000 oz Au Eq. These resources are pit-constrained and represent substantial potential for future mining operations.

This arrangement demonstrates the evolving landscape of corporate communications in the mining sector, where specialized firms can help companies effectively communicate their development progress and resource potential to the investment community.
