About Us

Lion Rock is advancing the Volney Project — a past-producing critical minerals property hosting gold, lithium, tin, and tantalum on 142 hectares of private land in South Dakota's Black Hills.

Mineralized from surface and road-accessible, the property produced from just one zone historically — and returns as America races to secure domestic critical minerals, with Phase 1 drilling complete and a county mining permit in hand.

“
Phase 1 intercepts returned grades at or above recognized commercial thresholds — among the highest reported for any US domestic critical minerals project.
How Our Grades Compare
Corporate Presentation · June 2026
Phase 1 · Highest Tantalum Grade
0ppm

Ta2O5 over 1.0 m — roughly 25× the ~150 ppm commercial threshold and among the highest reported for any US critical minerals project.*

Past-Producing

The historic Volney workings

Volney historically produced tin, tantalite, and spodumene concentrates — all from a single zone on the property.

01

US Critical Minerals

  • Li, Sn & Ta drill-confirmed
  • Gallium potential byproduct
  • US 75–100% import reliant for Sn & Ta
02

Shallow System

  • Mineralization from surface
  • Largest intervals <40 m depth
  • Bulk-mining & DSO potential
03

Pedigreed Team

  • 10M+ oz Au in resources generated
  • C$500M+ raised
  • Osisko, BMO & RBC alumni

The Opportunity

America needs what Volney has

The United States imports up to 100% of several minerals designated critical to national security — and Washington is acting, with executive orders to accelerate domestic production and $500M+ in DOE funding for processing and battery materials. The Volney Project hosts these minerals — drill‑confirmed, on private US land, in an established mining district.

+ Gallium identified as a potential byproduct

Market size and import reliance: USGS MCS 2026, Grand View Research, Straits Research, Credence Research. There is no assurance any government program will benefit the Company.

Fifteen holes, ~3,600 m, completed on schedule and budget — with mineralization intersected from surface. Select a mineral to see the results.

Execution

The Path to Production

A permitting milestone is already secured — the local Conditional Use Permit for pegmatite mining was approved by Lawrence County in June 2026.

Complete · Q1 2026

Phase 1 Drill Program

15 holes and ~3,600 m completed on schedule and budget — lithium, tin, and tantalum confirmed at or above commercial thresholds, plus a new gold discovery.

Complete · June 2026

Local Permit Secured

Conditional Use Permit approved by Lawrence County for pegmatite mining — the local land-use authorization required for mining and bulk sampling.

In Progress

State Mining License

Application advancing with the South Dakota Department of Agriculture & Natural Resources — required for mining and offtake of lithium, tin, and tantalum bearing pegmatite.

In Progress

Metallurgical Testing

Test work underway on Phase 1 drill core and bulk samples to define concentrate grades and recoveries for spodumene, cassiterite, and tantalum minerals.

Upcoming · Q3/Q4 2026

Phase 2 Drilling

Aggressive expansion drilling on Phase 1 success, plus discovery drilling on new high-priority targets along the trend of known mineralization.

Multiple Untested Targets
Upcoming

Production

Multiple capital-friendly routes: direct-shipping ore, onsite concentrate production using existing infrastructure, or full mine-to-market.

2026 · New Discovery

A New Gold Discovery

Announced April 2026 and still growing — gold in all nine drillholes that targeted gold-bearing structures, with multiple stacked zones in the region that produced Homestake's 40M+ oz and gold above US$5,500/oz in Q1 2026.

Location

A World-Class Mining District

The Giant Volney Pegmatite sits in South Dakota's Black Hills — one of the most established mining districts in the United States, with Coeur Mining, Dakota Gold, and Agnico Eagle all active in the district today.

  • Private Land, State Jurisdiction

    142 ha of private land with surface and mineral rights held outright — no federal permitting risk, state-level permitting only.

  • Year-Round Road Access

    An all-season road runs directly through the property; 70 miles to the Rapid City rail depot.

  • Pro-Mining Jurisdiction

    South Dakota ranks among the top US states for mining policy, with efficient permitting timelines.
