LAURION Announces New Structural Model at Ishkoday Project

that extends A-Zone Gold Corridor Target to 1.4 km Strike Length

IN THE UNITED STATES.

TORONTO, ONTARIO (June 11, 2020) – Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: LME and

OTCPINK: LMEFF) (“LAURION” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to provide a progress

report on exploration at its 100% owned Ishkoday Project and contiguous Brenbar

earn-in option Project (the "Project"), located 220 km northeast of Thunder Bay,

Ontario, near the town of Beardmore . The first stage 2020 drill campaign has now

completed 15 holes for a combined 3,600 m of drilling. Assay results for 11 holes remain

outstanding. The drill has now moved 800 m southwest of the main A Zone.

Infill assay sampling of five 2011 – 2014 LAURION drill holes has identified several

additional significant gold intersections. These holes were drilled along the A Zone

corridor and are 1.4 km along trend ( Figure 1 ). New assay values, along with

previously-announced results are presented in Table 1 and hole location and

orientation data are given in Table 2. Highlights are:

 Hole LBX14-016: 1.5 m at 2.93 g/t gold (new 2020 assay)

 Hole LJ11-001: 0.5 m at 3.72 g/t gold, 3.8 g/t silver (new 2020 assay)

 Hole LME14-031: 1.8 m at 27.8 g/t gold, 13.1 g/t silver, 1.21 % zinc (previously-

reported 2014 assay)

Commented David Lewis, Exploration Manager: “These updated assay results are

significant as they coincide with mineralized shear zone corridors that we are

identifying and delineating on surface and at depth during our current mapping and

drill campaign. We are at the point where at least three subparallel gold mineralized

corridors are predictable for 500 m along strike through the A Zone (Figure 2), but the

infill sampling, along with surficial mapping, previous drill results and the 2020 assays

and oriented drill core measurements, is giving us confidence that these mineralized

corridors extend for at least 1.4 km along strike.”

True width of mineralization of these intercepts is estimated to be >60% of drill hole

intervals. 2011 to 2014 assays have been subject to Quality Assurance / Quality Control

(QA/QC) measures, including the verification of assay data through the insertion of

standards, duplicates and blanks.

INDUCED POLARIZATION SURVEY

LAURION is pleased to report that the 2020 Induced Polarization (“IP”) geophysical

survey, first announced on March 17, 2020, is now complete over the A Zone (10 line

km) and Sturgeon-Brenbar (15.7 line km) areas, including the production of all maps

and sections and a 3D inversion model. Several large, NE -trending anomalous zones

were identified, with chargeable and/or resistive zones extending to depth. Several

of the new anomalies coincide with known gold mineralization in the A Zone. These

results will be used to aid in targeting during the ongoing 2020 drill campaign.

Qualified Person

Mr. David Lewis, P. Geo. (PGO), LAURION ’s Exploration Manager, is a Qualified Person

as defined by National Instrument 43 -101 and has reviewed and approved the

content of this news release.

All core samples have been assayed by ALS Laboratories in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Infill

samples are processed by aqua regia digestion (consistent with 2011 – 2014 assay

sampling) and 2020 samples are processed by 4-acid digestion. Both are analyzed by

fire assay on 50 g pulps and ICP-AES (Inductively-Coupled-Plasma – Atomic-Element-

Spectroscopy). Over limit analyses are reprocessed with gravimetric finish. LAURION

employs an industry standard QA/QC program including insertion of blanks,

duplicates and standards. Samples are sawn by core saw on site (cut perpendicular

to mineralization), with one-half of the core sent in secure bags to ALS Laboratories.

About LAURION Mineral Exploration Inc.

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

the TSX -V under the symbol LME and on the OTCPINK under the symbol LMEFF.

LAURION now has 181,125,977 outstanding shares of which approximately 59% 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 -silver and gol d-rich polymetallic

mineralization with a significant upside poten tial. The mine ralization on Ishkoday is

open at depth beyond the current core-drilling limit of -200 m from surface, 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 that the mineralization to be a

direct extension of mineralization from the Ishkoday Property.
