LAURION Mineral Exploration Inc.

The Corporation is a junior mineral exploration and development company listed on the

TSXV under the symbol LME and on the OTCPINK under the symbol LMEFF. The

Corporation currently has 233,556,667 outsta nding shares, of which approximately 79%

are owned and controlled by Insiders who are eligible investors under the “Friends and

Family” categories.

LAURION's emphasis is on the development of its flagship project, the 100% owned mid-

stage 47 km 2 Ishkoday Project, and its gold-ric h polymetallic mineralization with a

significant upside potential. The mineralization on Ishkoday is open at depth beyond the

current core-drilling limit of -200m from surfac e, based on the historical mining to a -685

m depth, in the past producing Sturgeon River Mine. The recently acquired Brenbar

Property, which is contiguous with the Ishkoday Property, hosts the historic Brenbar Mine

and LAURION believes the mineralization to be a direct extension of the Ishkoday

Property.
