(TSXV: ROAR) (FSE: KGB) (OTC Pink: LRRIF) (the \"Company\") is pleased to announce lithium assay results from its recent surface sampling program at the Volney Project, South Dakota. The results include values up to 5.3% Li2O from stockpile material and 3.7% Li2O in pegmatite outcrops and extend the lithium-bearing pegmatite trend to 1,000 m by 500 m. Located 20 km southwest of Spearfish in the Black Hills Mining District, Volney is a past-producing, multi-commodity project that hosts high-grade gold, high-grade lithium, and high-grade tin. News HighlightsHigh-Grade LCT Pegmatites in Outcrop - Significant Expansion Potential: A total of 26 outcrop samples returned values exceeding 1.0% Li2O, confirming multiple high-grade lithium-bearing pegmatites at surface across a 1,000 m by 500 m corridor, that remains open in all directions. Importantly, newly sampled outcrops located 600 m from the historic Giant Volney pegmatite returned values up to 3.7% Li2O, underscoring the broader potential for high-grade lithium mineralization beyond historically known zones and highlighting the opportunity to significantly expand the mineralized footprint.Validation of Historic High-Grade Material: A total of 43 stockpile and mill waste samples returning values above 1.0% Li2O and up to 5.3% Li2O. In the historic Giant Volney pit area, 26 stockpile samples yielded an average grade of 3.8% Li2O, confirming high-grade lithium values reported in historic bulk sampling.High-Grade Multi-Commodity Potential Includes High-Grade Gold and Tin: In addition to lithium, a total of 13 stockpile and mill waste samples returned tin (Sn) values above 1.0% Sn, indicating significant potential for by-product recovery. The property is also host to high-grade gold mineralization with historic grades up to 8.0 g/t Au over 43.0 m and 18.2 g/t Au over 18.3 m.Private Land - Fast-Tracked Permitting: The Volney Project is situated on 142 hectares of privately held land with surface and mineral rights, enabling rapid drill program execution and accelerated permitting from exploration through production.Dale Ginn, President and CEO of Lion Rock, stated, \"These strong lithium results confirm the high-gra...
