[{"type":"text","content":"Lion One Drills 236.00 g/t Gold over 0.4 m Near Mine Underground at Tuvatu Gold Mine in FijiNorth Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 1, 2025) - Lion One Metals Limited (TSXV: LIO) (OTCQX: LOMLF) (\"Lion One\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report significant new high-grade gold results from 4,123.8 meters of underground infill and grade control drilling at its 100% owned Tuvatu Alkaline Gold Project in Fiji (\"Tuvatu\"). The drilling is focused on the Zone 5 area of the deposit, which is currently being mined.Drilling was conducted from two near surface underground drill stations. The Company intersected high-grade mineralized structures in 29 drill holes targeting the UR2 lode down-dip of current underground developments. Most of the drill holes did not exceed 150 m in length and most of the high-grade drill intercepts are located within 50 m of current underground workings. Drill results include multiple bonanza grade gold intercepts over narrow widths, such as 236.00 g/t over 0.4 m, 101.58 g/t over 0.5 m, 102.35 g/t over 0.3 m, 94.23 g/t over 0.3 m, and 89.63 g/t over 0.4 m. Due to the proximity of drill results to existing workings there is a strong probability that these intercepts can be incorporated into the mine plan in the next six to twelve months.Tuvatu is a high-grade narrow vein alkaline gold deposit and bonanza grade drill results are not uncommon on the project. In January the Company released the highest grade assay ever returned from Zone 5 drilling; 2,749.86 g/t over 0.3 m (see press release dated January 23, 2025). Previous high-grade drill results from Zone 5 include 1,517.79 g/t gold over 0.3 m (see press release dated December 17, 2024), 1,568.55 g/t over 0.3 metres (see press release dated June 5, 2024), and 1,986.23 g/t gold over 0.6 m (see press release dated December 13, 2023).Highlights of New Drill Results:236.00 g/t Au over 0.4 m (TGC-0345, from 109.42 m depth)25.89 g/t Au over 3.0 m (including 101.58 g/t Au over 0.5 m g/t) (TGC-0359, from 110.7 m depth)16.85 g/t Au over 3.0 m (including 38.27 g/t Au over 0.9 m) (TGC-0339, from 104.7 m depth)18.26 g/t Au over 2.5 m (including 89.63 g/t Au over 0.4 m) (TGC-0332, from 67.14 m depth)15.36 g/t Au over 2.7 m (including 47.25 g/t Au over 0.3 m) (TGC-0343, from 75.3 m depth)27.08 g/t Au over 1.5 m (including 94.23 g/t over 0.3 m) (TGC-034...
