(TSXV: ROAR) (FSE: KGB) (OTC Pink: LRRIF) (the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the commencement of its 2025 exploration program at the Volney Project in the Black Hills Mining District, South Dakota. The program includes a high-resolution magnetic survey and a detailed mapping and sampling initiative targeting high-grade lithium, gold, and tin mineralization (Figure 1).The Volney Project, located 20 km southwest of Spearfish, is a past-producing, multi-commodity asset situated on 142 hectares of privately held land with both surface and mineral rights enabling rapid permitting and efficient execution of exploration activities. A permit application has been submitted for an extensive drill program, and field crews are mobilized on site for mapping, sampling and geophysical surveys.News HighlightsHigh-Grade Multi-Commodity Potential Across Property: The Volney Project hosts historic lithium grades up to 5.4% Li₂O, including a 10,000 kg bulk sample that averaged 2.5% Li₂O; gold values include 8.0 g/t Au over 43.0 m and 18.2 g/t Au over 18.3 m; and tin values up to 2.5% Sn reported across the full length of the property. Both lithium and tin are designated as critical minerals in the U.S., underscoring the strategic importance of the project.Private Land — Fast-Tracked Permitting: The Volney Project is situated on 142 hectares of privately held land with both surface and mineral rights, year-round road access, and proximity to infrastructure, enabling rapid drill program execution and accelerated permitting from exploration through to production.High-Resolution Magnetic Survey Underway: This 35 m resolution drone magnetic survey by EarthEx Geophysical Solutions Inc. will assist in identifying structural controls, including shear zones associated with gold mineralization and pegmatite extensions.Mapping and Sampling Program in Progress: Field teams are systematically mapping and collecting samples to refine drill targeting and expand known mineralized zones.Dale Ginn, President and CEO of Lion Rock, stated, \"Our 2025 exploration program is designed to advance the Volney project through detailed fieldwork and mo...
