The high-grade and mineable widths of this zone will likely improve the economics of the future mining operation in Fiji, noted a ROTH Capital Partners report.

As Lion One Metals Ltd. (LIO:TSX.V; LOMLF:OTCQX; LLO:ASX; LY1:FSE) keeps drilling at its Tuvatu project on Fiji, it becomes more and more apparent that the 500 zone, a high-grade feeder below the current resource, “may become an early, near-term [mineable] target in the mine plan,” reported ROTH Capital Partners analyst Mike Niehuser in an Oct. 5 research note.

“The attraction of the 500 zone is both its higher grade and broad, consistently mineable widths,” Niehuser wrote. “This deeper zone may represent a highly economic zone to mine as early as possible.”

These two characteristics are seen in these examples of 500 zone intercepts:

  • 21.16 grams per ton gold (21.16 g/t Au) over 19.6 meters (19.6m) from 594.5m downhole, including 25.28 g/t Au over 16.2m from 596.7m downhole (hole TUDDH-608)
  • 23.02 g/t Au over 20.1m from 576.1m downhole and 8.09 g/t Au over 20.7m from 602.5m downhole (hole TUDDH-601)
  • 20.86 g/t Au over 75.9m from 443.4m downhole (hole TUG-141)

There, The Canadian mining company “is rapidly defining a roughly 32,000-ton zone grading of about 20 g/t gold,” Niehuser noted.

ROTH has a Buy rating and a CA$2.50 per share target price on Lion One, the current share price of which is about CA$0.81.

The 500 zone sits about 400m below the current resource and, Niehuser pointed out, could extend another 500m vertically.

How the zone shapes up with additional drilling will drive the mine plan. For example, Niehuser wrote if drilling continues to define it as a feeder, the new mine plan, an improved version over that outlined in the preliminary economic assessment, might include mining deeper down and doing so potentially earlier than originally planned.

On a related note, a significant catalyst for Lion One, the release of an updated resource estimate, is happening soon, in Q1/23, Niehuser noted.

“With a significant amount of drilling completed since 2014, we anticipate an increase in classification, tons, and grade for the latest resource estimate,” he wrote.

ROTH has a Buy rating and a CA$2.50 per share target price on Lion One, the current share price of which is about CA$0.81.
