About

Lion Rock Resources is advancing the Volney Project, a high-grade gold and critical minerals exploration asset located on 142 hectares of private land in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The project hosts historical mineralization of gold, lithium, tin, and tantalum, and is positioned within one of North America's most historically productive gold districts. The company aims to secure domestic critical minerals as the U.S. increases its focus on domestic production.

Mineral resource
The Volney Project is located in the Black Hills of South Dakota, a region with a long history of gold and tin production and limited modern exploration. The property hosts multiple historic mines and workings, including the Rusty Mine and Hydliff Adit for gold, and the Rough and Ready Mine for tin and gold. Gold mineralization at Volney is interpreted to be shear-hosted, with wide zones of mineralization identified in historic surface and underground workings. Lithium mineralization is hosted within LCT pegmatites, including the Giant Volney Pegmatite—a key focus of the project's hard-rock lithium exploration. Historic exploration across the property was shallow and discontinuous, leaving the system largely untested at depth and along strike.

["The Volney Project\n\nHigh-grade gold and lithium with historic tin in South Dakota's Black Hills — two independent mineral systems within a single past-producing property, mineralized from surface.\n\n142 ha Private Land 0 m Depth to Mineralization CUP Approved June 2016 15 Holes · ~3,600 m Drilled\n\nProject Overview\n\nTwo Mineral Systems, One Project\n\nShear-hosted gold mineralization occurs alongside lithium‑cesium‑tantalum (LCT) pegmatites — multiple, independent exploration targets within a single project footprint.\n\nGiant Volney Pegmatite at surface\n\nAverage surface sample grade 5–15g/t Au\n\nHistoric Rusty Mine intersections\n\nHistoric drilling depth — untested below\n\nWhy Volney\n\nKey Highlights\n\n01\n\nTwo Mineral Systems, One Project\n\nShear-hosted gold mineralization occurs alongside lithium-tantalum-tin (LCT) pegmatites, providing multiple, independent exploration targets within a single project footprint.\n\n02\n\nDistrict-Scale Lithium Potential\n\nMultiple LCT pegmatites converge to form the Giant Volney Pegmatite, extending approximately 635 metres at surface. Surface sampling returned average grades of 4.4% Li₂O, with values up to 5.4% Li₂O.\n\n03\n\nActive, Funded Exploration\n\nLion Rock has completed its Phase 1 drill program at Volney — an active, funded exploration effort systematically advancing both gold and lithium targets, with Phase 2 planning underway.\n\n04\n\nCompelling High-Grade Gold History\n\nHistoric workings at the Rusty Mine reported gold intersections of 5 to 15 g/t Au over widths of 15 to 45 metres. Channel sampling at the Rough and Ready Mine returned 18.2 g/t Au over 18.3 metres.\n\n05\n\nUnderexplored at Depth\n\nHistoric drilling at the Rusty Mine was limited to approximately 50 metres depth, yet intersected wide mineralized zones in all eight drill holes—the system remains largely untested at depth.\n\n06\n\nPast-Producing Ground\n\nHistoric production of cassiterite, tantalite, and spodumene concentrates—all from a single zone—supports the fertility of the LCT pegmatite system across the broader property.\n\nHistorical results referenced above have not been verified by a Qualified Person and should not be relied upon. They are presented as an indication of the exploration history of the property.\n\nProject Details\n\nGold, Lithium, and Tin in a Historic Mining District\n\nThe Volney Project is located in the Black Hills of South Dakota, a region with a long history of gold and tin production and limited modern exploration.
