Broker Change and Finland Gold Update
Lionsgold, the AIM-quoted India-focused gold exploration company with gold assets in Finland and a physical gold online trading platform, advises its broker has changed from Vicarage Capital Limited ("Vicarage") to Smaller Company Capital Limited ("SCC") following the approval of the latter as a standalone member of the London Stock Exchange.

The funds are being used for preparatory work in the lead up to bulk sampling activities planned for Q3 this year. As previously announced, once €350,000 in total has been paid to Kalevala, Lionsgold shall own 28.3% of Kalevala.
Cameron Parry, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "This is an exciting time as we look to develop the Company rapidly under the Lionsgold brand. I am pleased to report that our Finland Gold JV is progressing well and Lionsgold has commenced paying the next €350,000 previously agreed to see Lionsgold's shareholding increase through 28% of Kalevala, our Finnish operating company."
