Lion Copper & Gold Advances Yerington Project With Feasibility Team and New Drilling

The latest update is out from Lion Copper and Gold ( (TSE:LEO) ).

Lion Copper & Gold has finalized the team of engineering and technical consultants for the Definitive Feasibility Study at its Yerington Copper Project in Nevada and held an on-site workshop to align technical assumptions, design parameters, and project timelines. The company has also launched multiple drilling programs, including resource, piezometer, and geotechnical drilling, to expand reserves, better understand groundwater conditions, optimize pit slope design, and advance permitting, marking a significant step in de-risking and advancing the project toward potential production.

Management emphasizes that these coordinated technical and field efforts are intended to reduce project risk and unlock value at Yerington, reinforcing the project’s position as a key brownfield copper asset in a strategic U.S. mining jurisdiction. The integration of Nuton’s modern processing technologies is expected to support more efficient and environmentally focused copper production, which could enhance Lion’s competitive standing in the copper sector if the study and permitting progress as planned.
