TORONTO, ONTARIO (October 21, 2024) – LAURION Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: LME
and OTCPINK: LMEFF) (“ LAURION” or the “Corporation”) today announced that it is
proposing to complete a flow-through private placement on a non-brokered basis (the
“Private Placement”). The Corporation intends to raise up to approximately $ 2.7 million
in gross proceeds by issuing up to approximately 5,869,566 flow-through shares (the “ FT
Shares”) at a price of $0.46 per FT Share.
Each FT Share will be a 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”)). The gross proceeds will be used for “Canadian exploration expenses” (within the
meaning of the Tax Act), which will qualify, once renounced, 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, 2024 (provided the subscriber deals at arm’s length
with the Corporation at all relevant times) to the initial purchasers of FT Shares in an
aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of the FT
Shares.
The Corporation's President and Chief Executive Officer, Cynthia Le Sueur -Aquin,
commented: “This financing initiative aligns with LAURION’s strategic focus on
maximizing shareholder value by (i) advancing the Corporation’s flagship Ishkõday
Project while preserving a robust cash positi on, and (ii) exploring potential strategic
alternatives, such as partnerships, divestitures or other transformative transactions. The
entire proceeds from the Private Placement will be dedicated exclusively to progressing
the Ishkõday Project."
As at the d ate hereof, the Corporation has accepted subscription agreements for the
Private Placement in aggregate gros s proceeds of approximately $2,609,000. In
connection with the Private Placement, the Corporation may pay finders’ fees in the
form of cash commissions.
The c losing of the Private Placement, as well as the payment of finders’ fees in
connection therewith, are subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the
“TSXV”). The Corporation intends to close the Private Placement on or about October
