About Volney
Lion Rock Resources (TSXV:ROAR) is advancing the unique high-grade gold-lithium-tin project of Volney in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Historic results on the 142-hectare property include channel sampling of 18.2 g/t Au over 18.3 m, grab samples averaging 4.4% Li2O and successful historic drilling limited to 50 m in depth. Volney is accessible year-round by road and is proximal to major mining projects such as Homestake (43.9M oz Au produced), Coeur’s Wharf Mine (93K oz Au in ‘23), Dakota Gold & Agnico Eagle. Volney is located entirely on private land which enables Lion Rock to expedite permitting and exploration.
