Lion Copper and Gold (OTCQB: LCGMF) announced that Travis Naugle has resigned as director and Co-Chairman. Naugle led initial negotiations with Nuton LLC that established an earn-in relationship providing US$58.5 million of funding through Q2 2026 and advancing the Yerington Copper Project to feasibility and permitting stages.
Tony Alford has assumed the role of Co-Chairman alongside Dr. Thomas Patton, who remains in that position. The company also welcomed Frederick Scruggs and Mark Sharman to its Board following their election at the August 12, 2026 annual shareholder meeting.
Lion Copper & Gold (OTCQB: LCGMF) reported continued advancement of the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) and permitting for the Yerington Copper Project under Stage 3 of its earn-in agreement with Nuton, a Rio Tinto subsidiary. The DFS remains on schedule and on budget for completion in the first quarter of 2027.
Key 2026 field programs, including hydrogeological, geotechnical and VLT-area resource drilling, have been completed, and major infrastructure packages have entered third-party bidding to refine capital cost estimates. Permitting work and environmental baseline studies are progressing, supported by Nuton’s commitment to fund up to approximately US$31 million. A recent NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate for the nearby Bear Deposit highlights additional district-scale copper potential, though the current DFS remains focused on Yerington.
Lion Copper & Gold (OTCQB: LCGMF) reported a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for the Bear Deposit, part of its Yerington Copper Project in Nevada. The MRE, effective July 21, 2026, outlines an Indicated Resource of 1,064 Mt at 0.29% Cu (6.71 billion lbs) and an Inferred Resource of 1,770 Mt at 0.22% Cu (8.77 billion lbs), reported at a 0.10% Cu cut-off within an open-pit shell.
The estimate was prepared under CIM (2014) standards by independent qualified person Tim Maunula, P.Geo., using 79 drill holes and 25,825 assays, with ordinary kriging in 25m x 25m x 15m blocks. Resources are not reserves and do not demonstrate economic viability, but are considered to have reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. The deposit remains open for expansion and upgrading through further drilling.
The Bear Deposit, interpreted as a large porphyry copper system contiguous with Yerington, materially increases Lion's district-scale copper resource inventory. It is included in the Nuton LLC earn-in framework, under which Nuton may earn at least 65% of a future LLC holding the Mining Assets if funding milestones are met. In January 2026, Lion received a further Nuton funding installment to advance the Yerington Definitive Feasibility Study and permitting.
Lion Copper & Gold (OTCQB: LCGMF) has completed the acquisition of approximately 183 acres of additional strategic lands associated with the Bear project area in the Yerington Copper District, Nevada. The purchase supports the company’s ongoing strategy to consolidate key mineral, surface and infrastructure-related property interests district-wide.
The new lands are intended to enhance flexibility for future infrastructure, access, environmental management and operational layouts as Lion advances its copper portfolio. The Bear Deposit is part of the Mining Assets covered by an option to earn-in agreement with Rio Tinto’s Nuton, under which Nuton may earn a 65% interest by funding staged studies, engineering, exploration and permitting. Nuton has funded prior work and a January 2026 installment for the Definitive Feasibility Study, but its interest has not yet vested and there is no assurance the earn-in or any investment vehicle will be completed as currently contemplated.
