Lion Copper and Gold Corp. has completed an S‑K 1300 Preliminary Feasibility Study and Technical Report for its wholly owned Yerington Copper Project in Nevada. The study defines Proven and Probable mineral reserves of 506.6 million tons grading 0.21% copper, supporting a 12‑year open‑pit, heap‑leach operation.
