TSX-V: WLR 

Frankfurt: 6YL

VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 9, 2025 /CNW/ - Walker Lane Resources Ltd. (TSXV: WLR) (Frankfurt: 6YL) ("Walker Lane") announces that it is seeking a strategic partner(s) to help facilitate the advancement of exploration on its Nevada properties in 2026. Our preference is to secure a partner who wishes to acquire a 9.9-19.9% interest in the Company but other arrangements such as joint venture agreement, or debt arrangements will be considered. The Company adds that it intends to pursue financing through either a private placement, debt agreement or other equity arrangements in the near future.

Kevin Brewer, President and CEO notes that "Many successful exploration companies today secured a strategic partner to advance their early-stage generative projects. Although not essential, securing a supportive partnership generates market confidence and helps facilitate leveraging opportunities. An investment in our Company provides considerable exposure in the gold and silver sectors in emerging mineral districts such as the highly popular and prolific Walker Lane Gold Trend and the Rancheria Silver District in northern BC/Yukon."

Corporate Update of 2025 Activities

1. MRE Report for Silver Hart Project, Yukon, Near Completion. A revised Mineral Resource Estimate for the Silver Hart Project is near completion.
   
   
2. Project Permitting – Silver Hart and Amy Projects
   
   Silver Hart Permit: With the recent change in the governing party in Yukon we expect that our permit that has been recommended for acceptance by YESAB will now be issued soon.
   
   Amy Permit: Permitting in British Columbia impacted by labour disputes is now getting back on track and we are therefore optimistic that a permit for the Amy will be received from the Government of British Columbia in the very near future.
   
   The lack of permits at both Silver Hart and Amy, resulted in our Company being unable to proceed with exploration work this past summer. Planning for the resumption of exploration activities for the summer of 2026 at  Silver Hart and Amy is now underway.
   
   
3. Drilling at Silverknife by Coeur Mining Inc.: A preliminary drill program of the central and western portions of the Silverknife Central Zone on the Silverknife property has been completed. The program was completed by the property operator, Coeur Mining Inc. ("Coeur"). The program consisted of 7 diamond drill holes from three drill pads for a total meterage of 1,802.7 meters. Coeur also completed a borehole electromagnetic ("BHEM") survey on ddh SKN25-PAD01-001and is awaiting results and interpretation. Coeur are in the process of completing detailed logging and are also undertaking a comprehensive re-logging of previous drill holes completed on the property by the Company in 2023. This program successfully delineated thick intervals of up to 240 meters of Rosella Limestone and up to 40 meter of Boya Formation, both of which are considered to be prospective host units for CRD mineralization. The program also identified that these units are at or in close contact with the Cassiar intrusive that provides a potential heat source to enable the migration of mineralizing fluids. The Company awaits further information on the program results from Coeur.
   
   
4. Clarification of Nevada Transactions
   The Company wishes to clarify that in its press release of June 9,2025 all payments to be made to the optionors are to be in US dollars. The floor price for the shares that may be used by the Company to make property payments is also to be expressed in USD at $0.21USD/share.

          Tule Canyon:               952,381

   for a total number of common shares that could be issued by the Company to the optionors is 1,809,524 common shares for the life of the agreements. This information is also presented in the TSX Venture Exchange Bulletin dated July 24, 2025 an September 30, 2025.
   
   
5. Airborne Surveys completed at Tule Canyon and Silver Mountain:
   Airborne total magnetic field and radiometric surveys have been completed by Precision Geosurveys on the Tule Canyon and Silver Mountain projects, Walker Lane Gold Trend, Nevada. Approximately 260-line kilometers of data was collected and interpretation of the data will now be completed. A preliminary evaluation of the data for the Tule Canyon project indicates an expected geophysical signature from the known areas of mineralization, further supporting the proposed drill strategy and the current geological model for the Property.
   
   
6. Reports on unusual trading activity: For several months we have been regularly reporting to CIRO what the Company considers to be unusual trading activity. Due to current policies and other reasons, CIRO are unable to inform us whether they have made a decision to investigate these matters.
