After almost a year of delays due to COVID-19 lockdown restrictions the Company is pleased to announce that as part of gearing up to putting the first of three pits back into production, LION has established contacts with key community leaders in the area of its Ambato-Arana graphite mine project and has held a series of public meetings with the people who live in the administrative regions around the project area. Through these meetings and break-out sessions:

  • Lion presented its project plans and has been sensitized with regards to local expectations, sensitivities and requirements
  • Local people voiced their hopes in terms of the positive impacts of the project

    • Support and improvement to local education and health services
    • Support to expanding availability of potable water and sanitary facilities
    • Sponsorship of cultural and sporting events
    • Maintenance of tracks and trails used by the local population in the project area

About Ambato-Arana Graphite Mine, Madagascar
The 3 forty-year renewable mining exploitation licenses that comprise the Project total 4,375 hectares (10,811 acres) are located in the vicinity of Andasibe in Toamasina Province in Madagascar, 20 km to the southwest of Sheritt's large-scale nickel/cobalt laterite open pit mine at Ambatovy and 15 km northeast of the town of Moramanga from which national highway RN2 connects with capital city Antananarivo (114 km) and Madagascar's main port of Toamisina (Tamatave) (240 km). Graphite was produced on the licenses, at a modest rate constrained by the technology employed on the licenses at that time, for roughly a century from 1910. Production was suspended by the previous owners due to a slump at the time in Global Graphite markets and with the deposits only partially mined. The deposits are now ready for larger scale exploitation with modern production techniques. They lie within the graphitic horizons of the highly prospective Manampotsy Formation and are associated with topographic highs that are exploited via free digging of lateritic ore and open pit mining, providing a lower cost exploitation without need for blasting. The graphite mineralization on the Project appears within well-defined north-south belts with interbedded graphite-rich friable layers. The geological layers of interest have continuity of several kilometres and exhibit a shallow dip angle. Sample data indicate good grade (up to 10% carbon content with some samples up to nearly 14%) and large flake (jumbo size) consistent with other nearby mines e.g. Gallois (Elate Graphite), Sahamamy & Vatomina (Tirupati Graphite) and DNI Metals' Vohitsara (DNI Metals).

The Company would also like to announce it has reset 2.5 million incentive stock options that expired Feb 20, 2022. The new options will be set at $0.12 for a period of two years expiring April 10th 2024.
