Tuyatu Gold Mine Increase In Gold Production

VANCOUVER - Lion One Metals Limited reported on gold production for the Tuvatu Gold Mine in Fiji. Highlights: 1) 3,551 oz of gold recovered during Q2 2024. 2) 3,251 oz of gold poured during Q2 2024. 3) 32,100 tonnes milled during Q2 2024.

The Company has produced 3,551 oz of gold during the three-month period ending June 30th, 2024. This marks an increase from the prior three-month period ending March 31st, 2024, during which 1,394 oz of gold was produced, and represents a ramp-up of mining and processing activities during the pilot plant phase of operations.

The increase in production is due to the introduction of mechanized production in May and June, as well as the increased mill throughput from February to May. A total of 32,100 tonnes of mineralized material was processed during Q2 CY2024, compared to 20,751 tonnes in Q1 CY2024.

Chairman and CEO Walter Berukoff, said, "We're pleased with the production results at Tuvatu this quarter. Commissioning of the processing plant was only completed in January, with some components only installed in April and May.

This quarter represents a milestone for the company as it is the first quarter in which the plant has been operating at full capacity. It is also the first quarter in which we have had mechanized production. We are just beginning to see the potential at Tuvatu and we're excited as we look forward to doubling the plant capacity from 300 TPD to 600-700 TPD, and to advancing towards the ultra-high-grade Zone 500."
