LAURION Reaffirms Strategy for Continued Growth Model, Signalling the Corporation is Stronger and More Resilient Than Ever

Press Release

• LAURION’s chief priority remains maximizing shareholder value by continuing to advance its Ishkoday Project, while continuing to explore potential strategic alternatives and transactional opportunities.
• LAURION’s current strong financial position, with a cash position of approximately $9.45 million, coupled with its success in advancing the Ishkoday Project over the past several years, leaves the company well-positioned to bolster long-term shareholder value through its ongoing corporate growth via its Ishkoday Au-Zn-Cu-Ag deposit.
• LAURION’s objective for the Ishkoday Project is to initiate development and production, as well as to continue exploration of the project, implementing a phased and strategic approach to monetize the available material through recovery of contained gold within the stockpiles and/or existing shaft.
• LAURION aims to advance the Ishkoday Project with the support of strategic alliances with certain third parties and industry experts. LAURION believes that these alliances should help the company achieve further exploration and operational milestones, which in LAURION’s opinion, may make LAURION a more attractive target or partner for a potential merger, acquisition, significant financing or other capital markets event.
• Key exploration milestones achieved in 2022 not only validated the 6km x 2.5km mineralized corridor and extended A-Zone to the McLeod Zone by 400m to 1.4km, but also significantly expanded the mineralized trends, confirming that the stacked vein system remains open at depth and along strike.

TORONTO, ONTARIO (October 11, 2022) – LAURION Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: LME and OTCPINK: LMEFF) (“LAURION” or the “Corporation”), wishes to reassure investors that it is well-positioned to advance the Ishkoday Project and capitalize on any potential strategic opportunity that may present itself in the future, all of its projects remain on-track, and LAURION is stronger and more resilient that ever.

In management’s view, LAURION’s recent appointment of its new Chief Financial Officer, Tyler Dilney, will strongly complement the Corporation’s strategic objectives. In particular, Tyler’s in-depth experience in accounting, financial disclosure and capital markets, especially as they relate to public companies in the mining industry,

should benefit LAURION greatly. More broadly, management believes that Tyler’s solid track record will help us achieve our immediate and long-term goals as we enter a critical juncture in the outlook for LAURION.

As previously announced via a news release dated September 27, 2022, LAURION is currently in discussions with DRA Americas Inc. (“DRA”) for consulting and engineering services to develop the stockpile and shaft-based project at Ishkoday, with the goal of monetizing the available material through recovery of contained gold within the stockpiles and/or existing shaft.

Simultaneously with the continuing advancement of the Ishkoday Project, LAURION aims to continue ramping up its exploration programs with the assistance of Ronacher McKenzie Geosciences Inc. (RMG), which provides LAURION with a wide breadth of geological expertise and innovative techniques. LAURION’s 2022 drilling and mapping programs have demonstrated that the stacked vein system remains open at depth and to southwest, suggesting that the mineral exploration potential of the Ishkoday Au-Zn-Cu-Ag deposit could increase considerably in the future.
