Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Lion Copper and Gold Corp. is a mineral exploration company focused on acquiring, exploring, and developing copper projects in the United States with a market cap of CA$80.58 million.

Operations: Currently, there are no reported revenue segments for the company.

Market Cap: CA$80.58M

Lion Copper and Gold Corp., with a market cap of CA$80.58 million, remains pre-revenue as it focuses on developing its copper projects in the U.S. Recent financial results show a net loss of US$3.6 million for Q3 2025, reflecting increased losses from the previous year. The company closed private placements raising US$2.7 million to support operations, though this resulted in significant shareholder dilution potential due to convertible debentures and warrants issued at $0.0965 per share. Despite having more cash than debt and sufficient short-term assets, Lion faces high volatility and an inexperienced management team amidst ongoing financial challenges.
