Toronto, Ontario – February 11, 2026 – LAURION Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: LME |
OTCQB: LMEFF | FSE: 5YD) (“LAURION” or the “Company”) reports assay results from drill holes LBX25-101 and LBX25-102 from the Company’s recent Fall diamond drilling program totalling 1,821 metres completed in 8 drill holes at the A-Zone/McLeod/CRK Zone at the Ishkōday Project, located in the Beardmore–Geraldton Greenstone Belt of north-western Ontario, approximately 220 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay.
Drill holes LBX25-101 and LBX25-102 were planned as part of LAURION’s model-guided A-Zone program to test interpreted mineralized horizons and strengthen continuity across the northeastern portion of the zone. (See Image DDH Cross Section.) The drill holes were positioned to validate structural interpretations and increase confidence in zones where both historical drilling and more recent Company-led drill programs have identified broad anomalous gold mineralization with localized higher-grade intervals. The assay results provide additional technical data that will support the refinement of future targeting and improve predictability for the Company’s subsequent drill campaigns. (See Image of Drill Locations of Fall Diamond Drilling.)
“We are advancing the A-Zone through disciplined, high-confidence drill targeting designed to create measurable project value,” said Cynthia Le Sueur-Aquin, President and CEO of LAURION. “Our objective is to complete drilling that answers specific geological questions, strengthens continuity, and improves predictability — because better technical clarity today supports stronger outcomes tomorrow for our shareholders.”
Geological Context
Drill hole LBX25-101 is situated approximately 265 m southwest of LBX25-100, with LBX25-102 positioned an additional 335 m southwest, extending drill coverage along the interpreted A-Zone mineralized corridor into a sparsely drilled area. LBX25-101 was established as a step-back collar to test projected mineralized horizons and structural continuity beyond the denser drill grid. Targeting incorporated projected intercept positions from holes LBX22-055, LBX22-056, LBX22-056A, LBX22-057, and historic hole K56 to improve geological and structural constraint across this portion of the zone.
Drill hole LBX25-102 was collared adjacent to the access road approximately 1.0 km south of the River Road, located north of the McLeod Zone and southwest of drill hole LBX21-041, to support continued drill coverage along this portion of the interpreted mineralized trend. This collar location enabled efficient drill access while extending geological coverage into a less densely tested portion of the corridor.
