About 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 203,419,101 outstanding shares, of which approximately 72%
of LAURION’s issued and outstanding shares 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 f lagship project, the 100% owned mid-
stage 47 km 2 Ishkoday Project, and its gold -silver and gold -rich polymetallic
mineralization with a significant upside potential. The mineralization on Ishkoday is open
at depth beyond the current core -drilling limit of -200 m from surface, based on the
historical min ing to a -685 m depth, in the past producing Sturgeon River Mine. The
recently acquired Brenbar Property, which is contigu ous with the Ishkoday Property,
hosts the historic Brenbar Mine and LAURION believes the mineralization to be a direct
extension of mineralization from the Ishkoday Property.
