Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 22, 2026) - Lion Rock Resources Inc. (TSXV: ROAR) (FSE: KGB) (OTCQB: LRRIF) ("Lion Rock" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, as part of Lion Rock's critical minerals strategy, Executive Chairman Nav Dhaliwal and members of the Company's geological team will attend the Fastmarkets Global Lithium, Battery and Critical Materials Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada from June 22 to 25, 2026, to meet with prospective offtake partners, end-users, and investors across the critical minerals supply chain.

The Fastmarkets conference is the industry's flagship annual gathering for senior leaders in lithium, battery raw materials, and critical minerals. The 2026 event brings together more than 1,250 senior executives from over 600 companies across 40 countries, including miners, refiners, OEMs, cell manufacturers, battery recyclers, government trade officials, and institutional investors. The 2026 program also features co-located sessions on battery energy storage and defense and aerospace materials, reflecting the growing role of secure domestic supply chains in commercial and national security applications.

The Fastmarkets conference offers a key platform to position the Volney Critical Minerals and Gold Project as a credible, US-based source of supply for lithium, tin, and tantalum. As OEMs, cell manufacturers, and government agencies work to qualify North American feedstock and reduce reliance on foreign-controlled supply chains, the Company will engage directly with counterparties and capital partners involved in those procurement decisions.

"This conference brings together the buyers, investors, and policymakers who are building the critical minerals supply chains that North America needs," said Nav Dhaliwal, Executive Chairman of Lion Rock Resources. "The Volney Project is one of the few US-based, hard-rock critical minerals projects with a clear path to production. We will be there to meet with prospective partners and demonstrate where Volney fits in North America's critical minerals future."

The Company's participation at Fastmarkets follows the recent approval of a Conditional Use Permit by Lawrence County, South Dakota, for pegmatite mining at the Volney Project. The permit marks a key regulatory milestone, advancing the Project toward potential near-term development and production and positioning Lion Rock as a permitted counterparty in offtake and supply discussions.
