TUCSON, Ariz., Dec. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN -- Lelantos Holdings, Inc. (OTCID: LNTO) (“Lelantos” or the “Company”), a diversified development company focused on renewable energy and high-value natural resource and industrial opportunities, today announced that it has executed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to acquire the Little Giant Mine, a 100-acre block of patented mining claims located in the Harcuvar Range of central Arizona. The LOI outlines the proposed acquisition terms and marks the beginning of Lelantos’ due diligence and definitive agreement process.
A Historically Significant, Resource-Rich Property
The Little Giant Mine encompasses five contiguous patented mining claims situated within the Gila and Salt River Baseline and Meridian, Township 9 North, Range 9 West, Section 32, on the Date Creek Ranch SW USGS Quadrangle. Decades of exploration confirm the presence of gold, silver, and copper mineralization, with veins mapped over nearly a kilometer of strike and mineralized zones extending to at least 250 feet deep.
The property contains:
- Native gold and gold-bearing copper-iron sulfides
- Veins up to 5 feet thick, dipping up to
80% - Historically mined grades of 0.342 oz/t gold, similar silver grades, and >
2% copper - A fully permitted 3,000-ton zero-discharge leach facility featuring a 16,000 sq ft concrete pad, triple-liner containment, leak-detection wells, and prior production of 400 ounces of ore
Transaction Terms
Under the LOI, Lelantos proposes to acquire the Property in exchange for 15 million restricted shares of Lelantos Holdings, Inc., subject to successful due diligence and execution of a definitive agreement.
The LOI includes:
- 60-day exclusivity period
- 60-day due diligence window
- Full access to site data, historical records, and geological information
Strategic Value of the Acquisition
Historical third-party resource assessments indicate:
- Chickadee Mining Co. (2005): 3.6 million tons of mineralized ore with 175,000 oz recoverable gold
- Independent geological review (2007): 10,200 oz gold, similar silver value, and 600 tons copper, with additional upside across 1,600 ft of mineralized strike
The property also generates revenue through decorative and industrial stone sales, offering diversified income potential uncommon in traditional mining operations.
Nathan Puente, CEO of Lelantos Holdings, Inc., stated: "The Little Giant Mine represents a substantial opportunity for Lelantos to expand into hard-asset resource development with a property that includes meaningful historical production, strong geological fundamentals, and fully permitted processing infrastructure. This LOI positions us to validate the resource, unlock its modern valuation potential, and move swiftly toward responsible development." He further added: "With patented land, proven mineralized structures, and decades of historical data, this acquisition aligns perfectly with our strategy of securing high-value, operationally viable assets designed to strengthen long-term shareholder value."
