(TSXV: ROAR) (FSE: KGB) (OTCQB: LRRIF) (the \"Company\") is pleased to report drill results from the Giant Volney target area at its Volney Project in the historic Black Hills mining district of South Dakota, USA.Initial results from the Company's recently completed Phase 1 drill program have returned significant lithium-tin-tantalum results (Table 1) along with anomalous critical mineral results. Approximately 3,600 metres of diamond drilling across 15 drillholes has been completed along the Volney trend (Figure 1). Partial assay results from four drillholes are set out below. The remainder of the assay results on those drillholes as well as full assay results from the other 11 drillholes, including additional lithium and gold analyses, remain pending and will be reported as received.News HighlightsSignificant Lithium Intercepts at Giant Volney at Surface:Drillholes VOL25-004, VOL25-005 (Figure 2), and VOL25-007 (Figure 3) returned multiple lithium-bearing pegmatite intersections including:0.8% Li2O over 25.4 m, including 1.3% Li2O over 14.3 m (VOL25-004)1.5% Li2O over 10.3 m, including 2.2% Li2O over 1.3 m (VOL25-005, ended in pegmatite)1.6% Li2O over 10.6 m, including 2.3% Li2O over 5.7 m (VOL25-007)Tin and Tantalum Mineralization Confirmed:Drilling intersected muscovite-rich pegmatite hosting tin and tantalum mineralization, including:72 ppm Ta over 5.7 m within the lithium interval in VOL25-004120 ppm Ta over 3.0 m within VOL25-0050.1% Sn and 45 ppm Ta over 28.3 m, including 0.3% Sn and 120 ppm Ta over 3.0 m (VOL25-006)0.1% Sn and 53 ppm Ta over 6.2 m (VOL25-007)Multi-Element Critical Mineral Signature Confirmed in Pegmatite:Initial assay results confirm lithium-tin-tantalum mineralization within pegmatite. Assays also returned elevated gallium (up to 67 ppm), rubidium (up to 3,948 ppm), cesium (up to 938 ppm), and tantalum (up to 301 ppm). The multi-element enrichment is consistent with a fractionated and evolved LCT pegmatite system and supports interpretation of geochemical zonation within the pegmatite body.Collared Directly into Pegmatite; Intersections Represent Partial Thickness Only:All fou...
