TORONTO, ONTARIO (October 19, 2020 ) – Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: LME
and OTCPINK: LMEFF) (“ LAURION” or the “Corporation”) today announced that it has
closed its previously -announced non -brokered private placement (the “ Private
Placement”) consisting of an aggregate of 1,556,321 units (comprised of 760,868 flow-
through units (the “FT Units”) and 795,453 non flow-through units (the “Non-FT Units” and
collectively with the FT Units, the “ Units”)) at a subscription price of $0.23 per FT Unit and
a subscription price of $0.22 per Non-FT Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds to the
Corporation of $350,000.
Each FT Unit consists of one common share of the Corporation issued as a “flow -through
share” (as defined in subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “ Tax
Act”)) (each, a “ FT Share ”) and one common share purchase warrant (each, a
“Warrant”). Each Non -FT Unit consists of one non flow -through common share of the
Corporation and one Warrant. Each Warrant (whether comprising part of a FT Unit or a
Non-FT Unit) entitles the holder thereof to acquire one non flow -through common share
of the Corporation at a price of $0.24 per share for a period of 12 months from the date
of issuance.
The gross proceeds allocable to the FT Shares comprising the FT Units will be used for
“Canadian exploration expenses” (within the meaning of the Tax Act), which will
qualify, once renou nced, as “flow -through mining expenditures”, as defined in the Tax
Act, which will be renounced with an effective date of no later than December 31,
2020 (provided the subscriber deals at arm’s length with the Corporation at all relevant
times) to the initial purchasers of FT Units in an aggregate amount not less than the gross
proceeds raised from the issue of the FT Units which are allocable to the FT Sh ares. The
Corporation intends to use the net proceeds from the issue of Non -FT Units for
exploration activities and general working capital purposes.
The Corporation did not pay any finders’ fees or issue any finder’s warrants in
connection with the Private Placement.
