North Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 15, 2017) - Lion One Metals Limited (TSXV: LIO) (ASX: LLO) (OTCQX: LOMLF) (FSE: LY1) (the "Company") is pleased to announce further drill results from the current diamond drilling program at its 100% owned and fully permitted high grade underground Tuvatu Gold Project located near Nadi on the island of Viti Levu in the Republic of Fiji. This phase of drilling targeted both the new zone of shallow mineralization reported on in the previous news release dated 22^nd August 2017 (Drilling Identifies New Zone of High-Grade Mineralization at Tuvatu Gold Project in Fiji), as well as infill and follow up drilling of the existing resource area from both the surface and underground.

Diamond drilling

Results have been received from a number of additional diamond drill holes completed at Tuvatu gold project in Fiji. The focus of the drilling of this program of work was threefold; firstly to extend the new zone of mineralization reported in the recent news release (22^nd August 2017), secondly to infill inferred zones of mineralization targeted for early development, and thirdly to undertake a first pass review of the target horizons striking south of the known mineralization. (Figure 1)

Surface diamond drill holes TUDDH 452 - 462 are further holes targeting the new zone of mineralization reported on in the last news release dated 22^nd August 2017. (Figure 2, 3).

This new mineralized zone is adjacent, but separate, to mineralization previously outlined in the Tuvatu resource, and to the north of any previously defined planned ore blocks for mining, as can be seen in Figure 2. The grades intersected are significantly higher than other drill results in this immediate area and are located in the near-surface providing the possibility for early development. The current drill program is focused to the north of the east-west striking Core Shed Fault, a structure which bisects the northern end of the Tuvatu resource. Previous drilling to the north of the Core Shed Fault has identified limited and generally lower grade mineralization. The recent drilling has helped tie together these previous results and extend the known mineralization further north, and with higher-grade results than previous work had indicated. Although drilling on this target has focused on those areas north of the Core Shed Fault, this zone of mineralization is open to the northwest, southeast and at depth. Drilling has continued in an effort to determine the extent of mineralization in both directions along strike, and down-dip. All intersections to date are shallow, and all indications are that the mineralization will continue down dip and along strike.
