North Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 7, 2019) - Lion One Metals Limited (TSXV: LIO) (OTCQX: LOMLF) (ASX: LLO) ("Lion One" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of its new Geochemical Assay and Metallurgical Laboratory located at the Company's Fijian headquarters, 1km from the Nadi International Airport on the island of Viti Levu in Fiji.

The new laboratory is equipped for gold analysis by fire assay with atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) finish. Geochemical assaying for a large range of other elements will be tested through Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES). The facility will also be utilized to conduct metallurgical optimization test work including flotation and leaching. As Fiji does not currently have any commercial laboratory facilities for geochemical and metallurgical analysis, the Company plans to have the laboratory internationally certified for commercial operations in the near future to also service local industries.
