"Completing our maiden NI 43-101 Technical Report at a time when gold has reached record highs reinforces the importance of our Lake Cargelligo Gold Project as a strategic asset in Lancaster's portfolio," said Andrew Watson, President and CEO . "The independent validation by Geos Mining highlights the project's strong geological potential and provides a clear roadmap for discovery at a time when investor interest in gold exploration is rapidly accelerating."
