Nations under Amended Exploration Agreement as Ishkõday
Exploration Progresses
TORONTO, Ontario – November 19, 2025 – LAURION Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSXV: LME |
OTCPINK: LMEFF) (“LAURION” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to provide this corporate
update on its advisory engagements, exploration progress, and investor outreach
initiatives.
Advisory Network Expansion
As part of its ongoing corporate development strategy, LAURION has broadened its
advisory network to include additional strategic partners engaged to complement and
extend the Corporation’s capital markets and M&A (strategic transaction) initiatives. This
expanded network, established prior to the conclusion of LAURION’s engagement with
US Capital Global Partners, as disclosed in its most recent public filing, is intended to
enhance the Corporation’s institutional outreach, market visibility, and transactio nal
execution capabilities. LAURION has created a layered, multi -channel approach
designed to expedite investor access, broaden the Corporation’s ability to explore
transactional opportunities, and ensure the Corporation can efficiently engage a wider
breadth of potential partners and stakeholders in exploring strategic alternatives. While
the Corporation anticipates that the benefits of these expanded advisory efforts will
materialize progressively over time, this coordinated framework aims to strengthen
LAURION’s foundation for long-term growth and advance its shareholder value strategy
with discipline and transparency.
Advancing the Ishkõday Exploration Program
LAURION continues to execute a disciplined and systematic advancement of its flagship
57 km² Ishkõday Project, located 220 km northeast of Thunder Bay, Ontario. Further to the
Corporation’s press releases dated May 8, 2025, May 27, 2025, July 29, 2025, August 19,
2025, September 23, 2025, and October 8, 2025, the 2025 field program has materially
progressed on schedule and within budget, with meaningful technical milestones now
achieved across geophysics, drilling, and surface exploration.
