LION ROCK COMPLETES PHASE 1 DRILL PROGRAM AT VOLNEY PROJECT, SOUTH DAKOTA

Lion Rock Resources Inc. has provided an update on its exploration activities at the Volney project, located in the historic Black Hills mining district of South Dakota, United States. Phase 1 of the company's multiphase exploration drill program at the Volney project is now complete, following the completion of 15 drill holes.

News highlights

• Phase 1 drilling completed -- 3,600 m across 15 drill holes: The company completed approximately 3,600 metres of diamond drilling in 15 drill holes targeting both interpreted gold-bearing horizons and lithium-bearing pegmatites along the Volney trend, including areas near the historic Giant Volney, Rusty, and Rough & Ready mines. Of the holes completed to date, five have targeted lithium-bearing pegmatites, five have targeted gold-bearing structures, and five have targeted both lithium and gold mineralization (Table 1). This program represents the first modern drill testing along the Volney trend.
• Multiple mineralized and altered shear zones successfully intersected: Drilling has encountered multiple sulphide-bearing shear intervals of various lengths with associated quartz veining and silicification hosted in altered mafic volcanics and metasedimentary rocks. These altered and mineralized horizons have been encountered throughout the entire drilled strike length so far. Drill core displays similar characteristics with auriferous units previously mapped and sampled at surface, where grab samples returned up to 14.0 grams per tonne Au (see Lion Rock news release dated May 28, 2025).
• Spodumene-bearing pegmatite intersected: Spodumene has been identified in multiple pegmatite intercepts in the Giant Volney and Rough & Ready mine areas. Drill hole VOL25-009 intercepted two spodumene-bearing pegmatite zones from 48.3 to 76.9 metres and from 103.5 to 120.3 m. These pegmatites occur near areas of previous surface sampling that returned up to 3.6 per cent Li2O and are consistent with mapped pegmatite system in the Volney target area (see Lion Rock news release dated May 13, 2025). Cassiterite and tantalite have also been observed in drill core.
• Assays pending: Core processing and sampling for the final drill holes is complete with samples shipped to SGS in Denver, Colo., for analysis. Assay results will be reported as they become available.

Dale Ginn, president and chief executive officer of Lion Rock, stated: "The successful completion of phase 1 represents an important milestone for the Volney project. This inaugural program has efficiently tested a combination of gold-bearing structures and lithium-bearing pegmatites, highlighting Volney's potential as a multicommodity system with relevance to both precious metals and critical minerals. While gold and lithium were the primary targets of this program, the project also hosts historic tin production and is highly prospective for tantalum. With core processing nearing completion and assays expected in the coming days and weeks, we look forward to finalizing and advancing an expanded phase 2 drill program as results are received and interpreted."

About the Volney project

The Volney property is a multicommodity project strategically located in South Dakota's Black Hills, a historically rich and active mining region. The Homestake mine in the Black Hills produced more than 40 million ounces of gold, making it one of the most significant gold producers in North American history. The Volney project is home to the Giant Volney pegmatite, a 635 m long LCT (lithium-cesium-tantalum) pegmatite which remains untested at depth. The district continues to attract modern exploration efforts, with companies such as Dakota Gold Corp. actively advancing projects within the Black Hills. The project is accessible year-round and consists of private claims with surface and mineral rights, which facilitates rapid permitting and project advancement.
