Strategic Value Drivers
- Partner-Funded Development – Nuton (Rio Tinto subsidiary) investing US$31M for DFS & permitting with Minimized Shareholder Dilution during highest-risk development phase
- Advanced Stage Asset – PFS completed, moving to DFS in a Tier-1 Jurisdiction – (Nevada is 2nd globally in mining attractiveness*)[JB1]
- Producing LME Grade A Cathode (higher value product)
*Fraser Institute 2024 Annual Survey of Mining Investment Attractiveness
Valuation follows risk reduction.
Execution closes the gap.
Re-Rating Catalysts (2026-2027)
Near-Term Milestones:
- DFS Completion (Q1 2027)
- FAST-41 Federal Permitting Progress (Ongoing)
- State Permitting Advancement
- Final Investment Decision (Q2 2027)
- Project Financing & Construction (H1 2028)
- First Copper Cathode Production (H1 2030)
Each milestone reduces uncertainty

Copper Market Tailwinds
Lion CG’s projected 2030 production timeline aligns closely with a structural copper supply deficit. Electrification, AI infrastructure, and the energy transition are driving surging demand while mine supply peaks in 2030. Combined with U.S. strategic priorities for domestic critical minerals, these dynamics create powerful tailwinds for Yerington. The project’s leverage to copper prices positions Lion CG to benefit from both tightening market fundamentals and strengthening policy support for domestic production.
