TORONTO, ONTARIO (October 9 , 2020 ) – LAURION Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: LME
and OTCPINK: LMEFF) (“ LAURION” or the “Corporation”) today announced that it is

gross proceeds by issuing up to approximately 760,868 flow-through units (the “ FT
Units”). Under the non flow-through portion of the Private Placement, the Corporation

approximately 795,453 non flow -through units (the “ Non-FT Units ”). Pursuant to the

a “Warrant”). Each Non-FT Unit will consist of one non flow-through common share of

or a Non -FT Unit) will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one non flow -through

months from the date of issuance.
As at the date hereo f, the Corporation has accepted subscription agreements for the

“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, wh ich 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

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.
