Lion One Metals ( (TSE:LIO) ) has shared an update.
Lion One Metals moved to clarify market speculation about its mining strategy at the Tuvatu Gold Mine, stressing it has not abandoned shrinkage stoping as a core method. The company reports its first shrinkage stope, completed in 2025 in Zone 2, delivered 5,704 tonnes at an average grade of 10.60 g/t gold, with a larger second stope already developed in Zone 5 and a third currently in design between the 1116 and 1156 levels.
Management emphasized that multiple underground mining methods will be used at Tuvatu, including shrinkage, cut-and-fill, longhole, and development mining, depending on vein geometry, rock stability, grade distribution, safety, and economics. By underscoring this flexible, geology-driven approach, Lion One aims to counter inaccurate claims, reinforce that its operating plan aligns with global industry practice, and signal to stakeholders that lessons from early stopes are being incorporated into more data-informed designs.
The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:LIO) stock is a Hold with a C$0.22 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Lion One Metals stock, see the TSE:LIO Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on LIO Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, LIO is a Neutral.
The score is held back primarily by negative operating/free cash flow and a weak technical setup (price below key moving averages with negative MACD). Offsetting these, the balance sheet is conservatively levered and valuation appears low based on the P/E ratio, while operational profitability is improving but not yet translating into consistent net profits or cash generation.
