Yerington, Nevada--(Newsfile Corp. - August 21, 2024) - Lion Copper and Gold Corp. (TSXV: LEO) (OTCQB: LCGMF) ("Lion CG" or the "Company") today released results from its Bear deposit 2024 exploration drilling program in the Yerington District of Nevada. As a second phase of drilling subsequent to the exploration drilling in 2023 (see Oct 27, 2023, news release), an additional US$1,500,000 (total US$4,000,000) was funded as early advance of the Stage 3 funding for exploration under the Company's agreement with Nuton LLC, a Rio Tinto venture (see December 22, 2023, new release).
Bear Deposit 2024 Drilling Highlights
Diamond core drill hole B-056A encountered 2,376 ft of 0.40% TCu, including 130 ft of 0.65% TCu and 138 ft of 0.62% TCu collared midway between legacy Anaconda drill holes B-014 and B-022
Diamond core drill hole B-055, collared 2,750 ft southwest from drill hole B-054, encountered weak copper mineralization along the far western edge of the known deposit
B-056A is a deep, angle drill hole located along a northwest trend of elevated copper grades defined by legacy Anaconda drilling. Drill hole B-055 is coincident with a strong Induced Polarization (IP) anomaly identified during the recent IP survey completed in late 2023. B-056A returned a significant drill intercept of 0.40% TCu over 2,376 ft from a depth of 1,237 ft and ending in final two intervals of 1.150 TCu% and 0.904 TCu%. Figure 1 shows the location of Bear drill holes and Figure 2 shows a cross section through drillhole B-056A.
