LAURION Starts defining Gold Mineralization North and Northeast of

the Brenbar Shaft, Highlighting 2.68 g/t Au over 1.05 m from 117.6 m

to 118.65 m

Toronto, Ontario – November 4, 2025 – LAURION Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: LME |

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

results from its 7,700 -metre Summer 2025 drill exploration program at the 100% -owned

Ishkõday Project, located 220 km northeast of Thunder Bay in Greenstone, Ontario. The

first five drill results were announced in the Corporation’s press releases dated August 19,

2025 and September 23, 2025, respectively, which targeted the high-grade gold-bearing

vein systems of the Sturgeon River Mine area. Reference is also made to the Corporation’s

press releases dated September 5, 2025, May 27, 2025 and May 8, 2025.

The reported drill holes below, LME25-061 and LME25-062, totalling 954 m were designed

to evaluate the mineralized system at the historic Brenbar Mine area, stepping out to the

north and northeast of the of the historic mine shaft.

Highlights of Drill Holes LME25-061 and LME25-062

LME25-061

• 2.70 m @ 0.22 g/t Au from 152.6 m to 155.3 m

• 2.50 m @ 0.20 g/t Au from 167.5 m to 170 m

• 2.25 m @ 0.88 g/t Au from 213.85 m to 216.10 m, including 1.70 m @ 1.10 g/t Au

from 214.4 m

LME25-062

• 3.00 m @ 0.49 g/t Au from 304.0 m to 307 m, including 1.0 m @ 1.34 g/t Au from

304.0 m

• 2.00 m @ 0.50 g/t Au from 111.0 m to 113.0 m, including 0.5 m @ 1.45 g/t Au from

111.80 m

• 1.20 m @ 0.76 g/t Au from 105.7 m to 106.9 m, including 0.7 m @ 1.07 g/t Au from

105.7 m

• 1.05 m @ 2.68 g/t Au from 117.6 m to 118.65 m, including 0.5 m @ 5.18 g/t Au from

118.15 m

• 1.15 m @ 0.39 g/t Au from 310.7 m to 311.85 m

• 1.10 m @ 1.63 g/t Au from 454.4 m to 455.5 m

These new intercepts not only confirm the continuity of gold-bearing structures near the

Brenbar Shaft, but also demonstrate how far our understanding of Ishk õday has

advanced since the early 2010 drilling campaigns,” said Cynthia Le Sueur -Aquin,

President and CEO of LAURION Mineral Exploration Inc. “Our 2025 drill core is fully

2 | Page

oriented, allowing precise structural interpretation and integration into our evolving 3D

geological model — a critical step toward defining the geometry and scale of the

mineralized system.”

The 2025 drill program targeted a cluster of complex folded gold-bearing vein structures

in the Brenbar Shaft namely No 1, 2, 2A and No. 7 vein sets confirmed in historic drilling by

Prodigy Gold Inc. ( Jamie Solomon & Jerry Light, June 13, 2011 ). That work returned

multiple higher-grade intercepts, including 3.77 g/t Au over 1.30 m and 1.33 g/t Au over

1.0 m in BB09-03, 5.50 g/t over 2.5 m, 1.39 g/t Au over 1.0 m and 1.47 g/t Au over 1.0 min

BB09-04, 2.29 g/t Au over 1.10 m and 0.39 g/t Au over 15.90 m in BB09 -09, 0.549 g/t Au

over 12.50 m in BB09-10, and 1.56 g/t Au over 1.0 m, 0.51 g/t Au over 6.30 m, 3.26 g/t Au

over 0.80 m and 0.66 g/t Au over 8.20 m in BB10-27 which tested No. 15 Vein, #25 trench

vein. The results confirm high -grade quartz -vein hosted gold within sheared volcanic

rocks. They provide the basis for LAURION’s 2025 program to test continuity and strike

length at Brenbar, and to collect oriented core for detailed structural analysis and 3D

modeling.

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 fin al 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 QAQC 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.
