- Walker River Resources Corp. (TSX-V:WRR) is a Canada-based exploration stage company that identifies, acquires, explores and evaluates mineral properties focused on gold; it holds a 100% interest in the Lapon Gold Project comprising 149 claims covering approximately 3,101 acres in Nevada's Walker Lane trend, including the Lapon Canyon core area with historical high-grade underground workings, as well as the adjacent Pikes Peak, Rattlesnake and Range Front claims that extend over 8 km of potential range-front mineralization zones; the project features fully drill-permitted areas with significant expansion potential in a mining-friendly jurisdiction near power infrastructure. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, the company targets high-grade gold systems, including recently identified mineralization in diorite, monzonite and granite with associated chalcopyrite suggesting copper potential, through ongoing reverse circulation drilling programs. Walker River Resources reports recent drill results from 2024 and 2025 at Lapon Canyon confirming significant gold intercepts such as 21.8 g/t over 4.6 meters and expanding known zones with new high-grade discoveries south and east of the Hotspot area; it maintains a 3% net smelter royalty held by Nevada Canyon Gold Corp. stemming from a prior exploration agreement, while advancing regional exploration across its expanded land package with minimal prior modern drilling.
