Broad 3.0 m Interval of 1.09 g/t Au (134.0–137.0 m)

Toronto, Ontario – December 3, 2025 – LAURION Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: LME |

OTC: LMEFF | FSE: 5YD) (“LAURION” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce assay

results from four diamond drill holes ( LME25-067 to LME25-070) completed as part of the

Corporation’s 2025 exploration drilling program at the 100% -owned Ishkōday Project

located near Greenstone, Ontario. These results continue to confirm the presence of

stacked, high-grade orogenic gold veins within the emerging Marge –Allard multi-vein

corridor, northeast of the M21–M24–M25 trenching and Sturgeon River Mine.

The 2025 drill program , which was originally announced by the Corporation on May 8,

2025, comprised 15 drill holes totaling 7,586 metres , bringing cumulative drilling at

Ishkōday to 99,834 metres in 470 drill holes. Assay results for the 11 other holes completed

pursuant to the drill program were previously announced on August 19, 2025, September

23, 2025, November 4, 2025 and November 25, 2025. This press release reports the final

1,716 metres of 2025 drilling (holes LME25-067 through LME25-070), completing disclosures

for the year’s program in the Sturgeon River-Brenbar corridor.

The results from these four (4) drill holes comprise the highest grade intercepts for this

season together with strong continuity of near surface veins. These results collectively

demonstrate consistent high-grade mineralization across multiple stacked gold-bearing

structures, confirming the robustness of the Marge–Allard corridor.

GEOLOGICAL CONTEXT AND SIGNIFICANCE

The four holes reported today targeted the eastern extension of the Marge– Allard vein

system, a multi -vein domain situated approximately 700 metres north of the historic

Sturgeon River Mine. The area hosts a network of gold-bearing quartz veins including:

• Marge Vein and Marge vein sets (MPA, MPB, MPG)

• Allard Vein

• F and X veins

• 85-3, 85-3C, and M58 veins

Regarding historical work:

• Phoenix Gold Mines (1984) channel sampled the Marge Vein over 154 metres strike

length with subsequent trenching and mapping exten ding the vein to 297 metres

in strike length. Furthermore, several nearby veins (F, X, Allard) also yielding visible

gold and high-grade assays. (L.O. Koskitalo – Phoenix Gold Mine Project Geologist

– 1988.)

• LAURION’s own stripping and channel sampling in 2008 returned 16.97 g/t Au over

0.47 m across 47 metres of exposed Marge Vein strike length. (Report on Grab

Sampling and Diamond Drilling programs – 2015 – Dr. Neil Westoll.)

The 2025 drilling results reinforce the interpretation of this area as a multi-vein, structurally

controlled gold system with potential for plunging high-grade shoots extending down-dip

and along strike. In particular, drill holes LME25-067 and LME25-069 demonstrate that high-

grade mineralization persists both near surface and at significant depths (to >700 m), with

vein stacking providing cumulative gold potential.

"With the 2025 drill program now fully reported, LAURION will integrate the new data into

its 3D geological and structural model for Ishkōday. LAURION will continue its focus on the

Sturgeon River–Brenbar Corridor as well as the A -Zone-CRK corridor in line with its 2026 –

2027 Strategic Operating Plan. Work will include structural consolidation and 3D

modelling, followed by plunge-oriented drilling to evaluate continuity of high-grade D2-

controlled shoots identified in our drill programs. This program will refine high -priority drill

targets and advance structural understanding across the Ishkōday Project,” stated

Cynthia Le Sueur-Aquin, President and CEO of LAURION.

Sampling and QA/QC Protocols

All drill core is transported and stored inside the core facility located at the Ishkõday

Project in Greenstone, Ontario. LAURION employs an industry standard system of external

standards, blanks and duplicates for all of its sampling, in addition to the QA/QC protocol

employed by the laboratory. After logging, core samples were identified and then cut in

half along core axis in the same building and then zip tied individually in plastic sample

bags with a bar code. Approximately five or six of these individual bags were then stacked

into a “rice” white material bag and stored on a skid for final shipment to the laboratory.

All core samples were shipped to the ALS facility in Thunder Bay, Ontario, which were then

prepared by ALS Global Geochemistry in Thunder Bay and analyzed by ALS Global

Analytical Lab in North Vancouver, British Columbia. Samples are processed by 4 -acid

digestion and analyzed by fire assay on 50 g pulps and ICP -AES

(InductivelyCoupledPlasma – AtomicElement-Spectroscopy). Over limit analyses are

reprocessed with gravimetric finish.

A total of 5% blanks and 5% standard are inserted randomly within all samples. 5% of the

best assay result pulps were sent for re -assays. All QA /QC were verified, and no

contamination or bias have been observed. The remaining half of the core, as well as the

unsampled core, is stored in temporary core racks at the core logging facility in

Beardmore and moved to the core storage facility at the Ishkõday Project.
