# Lion Rock Completes Phase 1 Drill Program at Volney Project, South Dakota Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/lion-rock-completes-phase-1-drill-program-at-volney-project-south-dakota--0c0c30bb-eaf3-405a-acc1-95cdbd87d863 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/ROAR/news/7922365588059547/lion-rock-completes-phase-1-drill-program-at-volney-project-south-dakota Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-01-22T12:20:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Lion Rock Resources Inc. - Ticker: ROAR - Exchange: TSX - Region: South Dakota - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Lithium, Tin, Tantalum - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-09-18 18:58:29 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.20 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Lion Rock Resources has completed its Phase 1 exploration drill program at the Volney Project in South Dakota, totaling 3,600 metres across 15 holes. The program successfully intersected spodumene-bearing pegmatites and mineralized shear zones, though assay results are currently pending from SGS Denver. Reasoning: The company completed its first modern drill program at the Volney Project, identifying spodumene and mineralized shear zones, but actual grades are not yet available. - Positive factor: Completion of inaugural Phase 1 drill program - Positive factor: Identification of spodumene-bearing pegmatites - Positive factor: Multi-commodity potential \(gold, lithium, tin, tantalum\) - Negative factor: No assay results reported in this release \(assays pending\) Facts used in scoring: 1 ## Classification and evidence **No QA/QC Disclosure** Polarity: negative Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document. Why it applies: While a QP is named, the specific assay protocols, blanks, or standards used for this specific program are not detailed in the text. Evidence · text > Assay results will be reported as they become available. **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: The project is located in the historic Black Hills mining district near the historic Giant Volney, Rusty, and Rough & Ready mines. Evidence · text > including areas near the historic Giant Volney, Rusty, and Rough & Ready mines **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: A Qualified Person \(Carl Ginn, P.Geo.\) has reviewed and approved the technical content. Evidence · text > The technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Carl Ginn, P.Geo., consultant to the Company and a Qualified Person pursuant to National Instrument 43-101. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 1.

Status: scored - Historical: No #### Dates - Event date: 2026-01-22T00:00:00.000Z Reasoning: Visual identification of spodumene is a positive indicator for lithium mineralization, though grades are pending. - Positive factor: Identification of spodumene-bearing pegmatite Evidence · text > Drillhole VOL25-009 intercepted two spodumene-bearing pegmatite zones from 48.3 to 76.9 m and from 103.5 to 120.3 m #### Tags used in scoring **No QA/QC Disclosure** Polarity: negative Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document. Why it applies: qaqc\_disclosed is not true **Cut-off Undisclosed** Polarity: negative Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing. Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated ## How Atlas produces this analysis Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
