LAURION Commences Summer Exploratio n at the Ishkoday Project in

Preparation for the Upcoming Diamond Drilling Program

THIS NEWS RELEASE IS INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION IN CANADA ONLY AND IS NOT INTENDED FOR

DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.

TORONTO, ONTARIO (June 4, 2019) - Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: LME) and

(OTCPINK: LMEFF) (“LAURION” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce the

commencement of the summer 2019 exploration program (the “ Campaign”) on the

Corporation’s 47 km2 Ishkoday Project (“Ishkoday”), located 220 km northeast of Thunder Bay.

The Campaign forms part of 2018-2019 exploration initiated in May 2018 as a three-staged 18-

month program with the strategic objective of outlining the bulk precious and base metals

upside potential at Ishkoday. It is linked to the on-going Stage 2 program facilitating the

confirmation of the lateral and cross-strike continuity of the mineralization. A 2-D and 3-D

geology-mineralization model will be constructed in conjunction with the confirmation of the

lateral and cross-strike continuity of the minera lization, thus providing Laurion a solid technical

background model to initiate diamond drilling to prove the model as part of the Stage 3

program.

The Campaign started on May 21, and consists of mechanized outcrop stripping, power

washing, geological mapping, channel sampling and assaying of an additional 3,000m in 5

stripped areas or lines (the “ Lines”): (1) finishing up TR18-3, the SW extension of the Marge/“F”

Veins system; (2) the historic past producing Sturgeon River Mine’s No. 3 Quartz Vein and the

nearby No.1, No. 2 and No. 8 /11 Veins (TR19-1); (3) the Marge/“F” Quartz Vein system (TR19-2);

(4) the CRK polymetallic sulphide vein (TR19-3); and (5) the “A” Zone polymetallic sulphide vein

(TR19-4). Additional work will consist of detailed mapping of the SW, SE and NE sectors of the

Target Area to confirm extensions of known and new gold bearing quartz and polymetallic

sulphide veins; and ultimately completing the construction of the 2-D and 3-D geological-

mineralization model by LAURION and Mira, an d planning of the Stage 3 diamond drilling

program – a first pass model is expected by mid-June.

The Campaign is slated for completion at the end of Q3-2019.
