LIO Lion One Metals Limited

NORTH VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Mar 6, 2014) - Lion One Metals Limited (TSX-VENTURE:LIO)(FRANKFURT:LY1)(OTCQX:LOMLF)(ASX:LLO) ("Lion One" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of the initial National Instrument (NI) 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate (the "estimate") for the Olary Iron Project in Braemar Iron Province, South Australia.

The technical report "Olary Iron Project Mineral Resource Estimate, South Australia" (the report") was commissioned by the Company's joint venture partner Yukuang Australia (WA) Resources Pty Ltd ("Yukuang") and prepared by SRK Consulting Australasia Pty Ltd ("SRK") in support of a listing application on the Singapore Stock Exchange. The report has been filed on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com. Highlights of the estimate include:

Indicated mineral resources of 214 million tonnes at 26.3% iron

Inferred mineral resources of 296 million tonnes at 26.4% iron

Olary Iron Joint Venture

Lion One holds a 47% interest in the Project, comprising a 22% optional contributing interest and a 25% interest free carried to the completion of a bankable feasibility study and decision to mine. Lion One's 25% free carried interest is convertible on a decision to mine to a 2% FOB royalty, or a 1% FOB royalty with a $.50 per tonne production royalty.

Yukuang is an affiliated enterprise of the Henan Provincial Bureau of Geo-exploration and Mineral Development, a state-owned mining and mineral exploration company with corporate headquarters in Zhengzhou, Peoples' Republic of China. Yukuang has earned a 53% interest in the Project's iron rights through a farm-in agreement with Lion One Australia Pty Ltd. Total joint venture expenditures to date exceed AUD$7 million.

Olary Resource Estimate

The estimate is based on assay results from 55 diamond and reverse circulation drill holes totalling 16,281 meters drilled on the northern end of the target zone on the Olary Property. Iron mineralization on the Olary Creek Property is related to ironstones of the Braemar Iron Formation, a regional magnetite belt extending approximately 180 km through eastern South Australia. To-date only one-third of the 7km strike length of the Olary iron target zone has been drilled and the deposit remains open for expansion.

Sample Preparation

Sample preparation was undertaken by ALS in Adelaide and assay analyses were undertaken by ALS in Perth. Drillhole logs were generated for lithology, structure and geotechnical information. The median core and RC sample interval was 3.0 m, representing 41% and 71% of samples respectively. Samples were assayed for total analysis and by DTR using XRF and were assayed for 25 elements and compounds. A total of 266 samples were laboratory measured for bulk density from 4 drillholes. 75% of drillholes were downhole surveyed for bulk density and a regression was determined by comparing with the laboratory bulk densities. SRK maintained regular contact with ALS and reviewed their sample preparation and analytical procedures for total concentration, DTR and bulk density tests.
