LION COPPER & GOLD ANNOUNCES APPLICATION TO LIST ON NASDAQ CAPITAL MARKET

Lion Copper and Gold Corp. has submitted an initial application to list its common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

The proposed Nasdaq listing is intended to support the company's long-term capital markets strategy by increasing its visibility with U.S. institutional and retail investors, broadening its potential shareholder base, and enhancing trading liquidity over time. The company believes that a U.S. exchange listing, if completed, would complement its existing listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange and position the company to access deeper and more diversified capital markets as it continues to advance its development objectives.

The proposed listing of the company's common shares on Nasdaq remains subject to the satisfaction of Nasdaq's initial listing requirements, receipt of all required regulatory approvals and completion of customary listing processes. There can be no assurance that the company's application will be approved or that a Nasdaq listing will be completed.
