LAURION Announces the Completion of 3D DCIP and MT Inversions,

Unlocking Deeper Structural Insights at Ishkōday Project

Toronto, Ontario – July 29, 2025 – LAURION Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: LME | OTCPINK:

LMEFF) (“LAURION” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce the successful analysis

and completion of a 3D magnetotelluric (MT) inversion over the Ishk ōday Project, a

significant advancement in subsurface imaging and structural modeling. The final 3D MT

resistivity model—reaching depths of up to 2.5 km —demonstrates excellent correlation

with known shear zones and fault structures, including the Niish shear zone, and reveals

new deep -seated structural features previously undetected by traditional methods.

These deep -seated structures are crucial in the circulation of hydrothermal fluids,

responsible for the formation of the mineralized zones.

This inversion provides LAURION with a powerful tool to refine its geological model, better

constrain major fault geometries, and identify new deep exploration targets. The results

will now be integrated with historical drilling, L iDAR, magnetics, and DCIP datasets to

develop a more predictive and structurally informed model of the mineral system. In

particular, the new MT resistivity model, when integrated with these other datasets, will

allow refinement of the locations and orientations of deep structures under cover. The

improved understanding of regional and local structures strengthens LAURION’s strategic

targeting and supports its evolution from a near -surface explorer to an advanced,

system-scale opportunity.

LAURION’s 7,000- metre drilling program is in progress a t the Ishkō day Project. In

conjunction with this campaign, the geoscience team is integrating the results of the 3D

MT inversion alongside its 2D and 3D DCIP datasets to refine structural interpretations and

support confident, deeper drill targeting for subsequent exploration phases. This

integrated geophysical framework significantly enhances the technical team’s ability to

vector drilling towards prospective mineralized structures at depth. Assay results from the

ongoing program will be released once received, validated, and interpreted by

LAURION’s technical team.

LAURION remains steadfast in its systematic, data-driven exploration strategy, focused on

unlocking the full potential of the Ishkōday Project, and is committed to disciplined,

results-oriented advancement and continues to execute on its long-term growth strategy

with confidence and precision.

Corporate Update

As a complement to its exploration activities, LAURION continues to actively evaluate

potential strategic alternatives and transactiona l opportunities with the goal of

maximizing shareholder value. The Corporation reiterates that it is engaged in ongoing

discussions with U.S. Capital Global Partners and other parties in connection with this

mandate.

While a large portion of LAURION’s curr ent focus remains on systematically advancing

the Ishkōday Project through disciplined exploration, the Board of Directors remains

attentive to strategic opportunities that could arise in the short or medium term. These

may include acquisitions, mergers, o r other value -accretive transactions aligned with

LAURION’s long-term objectives.

With a strong foundation of technical progress and expanding geological potential

across the 57 km² Ishkōday land package, LAURION is well -positioned for continued

strategic interest. Shareholders are reminded that any material developments will be

promptly disclosed in accordance with applicable securities laws.
