Walker Lane Resources Ltd. Notes Unusual Trading Activity and the Development of its New Website

Walker Lane Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: WLR, "Walker Lane") announces that there has been unusual trading activity of its common shares that appeared to initiate on March 27, 2025 and appears to have occurred on each subsequent TSX-V trading day to current day. The recent stock trading activity does not reflect the health of our business or the recent significant value added assets to the property portfolio and adds to the previous undervaluation of the assets that were noted in a research report completed by Fundamental Research Corporation (see CMC Metals Ltd. press release - January 15, 2025). Management considers that some recent market transactions of its common shares could be an organized type of short selling tactic as we cannot determine any other explanation for the unusual downside trading activity.

Top 5 ASX Gold Stocks of 2025

Gold has continued to perform exceptionally well in 2025 and even broke through the AU$5,000 per ounce mark for the first time on April 1, when it reached a new all-time high of AU$5,034.

Markets have experienced significant volatility since the start of US President Donald Trumpā€™s term. Tariff threats have created unease among US allies attempting to avoid a full-scale trade war with the worldā€™s largest economy.

The rising gold price also coincides with increasing tensions in the Middle East, where attacks against Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen have intensified. These and other circumstances have prompted investors to seek the safe haven of gold, leading the yellow metal to repeatedly hit new record-high prices throughout the year.
