LAURION To Commence 15,000-Metre Diamond Drilling Program at Ishkoday Project, Ontario

Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSXV: LME) (OTC-PINK: LMEFF) ("LAURION" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that it will commence drilling on January 14, 2022 at its Ishkoday project, located 220 km northeast of Thunder Bay, Ontario near the town of Beardmore .

Highlights:

  • 15,000-metre drilling program to define the continuity of the Ishkoday mineralized system from the CRK to A zones, extending over 1.4 km strike length.
  • Diamond drilling will commence at the A zone to follow up on the southeast extension of gold and base metal-rich mineralized zones intersected in 2020 with 10.34 m @ 3.22 g/t Au in Hole LBX20-002 and 63.93 m @ 0.58 g/t Au, 6.10 g/t Ag, 0.11% Cu and 1.92% Zn in Hole LBX20-003 (see May 29, 2020 news release). Winter conditions and freezing will permit access to this area, located in a swamp.
  • Following completion of this drilling target, the drill will be moved to the CRK zone to follow up on the high-grade gold Joe structure: Hole LME20-025 intersected in 2020, 14.25 m @ 10.98 g/t Au, including 1 m @ 152 g/t Au (see December 1, 2020 news release).
  • Drilling program will also test areas with strong density of lineaments identified by a 2021 LiDAR survey, where minimal drilling and exploration were previously completed.

A compilation and integration of all historical and recent datasets is currently underway for planning the 2022 summer exploration program along the 6 km long Ishkoday mineralized trend and within several mineralized areas, located outside the main mineralized trend, highlighted by the 2021 LiDAR survey and historic work.

LAURION is fully funded for the 2022 exploration program.

The Corporation also wishes to announce that it has granted to each of John Covello and Nick Ierfino incentive stock options (" Options ") to acquire 29,000 common shares of the Corporation, exercisable on or before January 11, 2027 at an exercise price of $0.82 per share, subject to vesting requirements.

About Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc.

The Corporation is a junior mineral exploration and development company listed on the TSXV under the symbol LME and on the OTCPINK under the symbol LMEFF. The Corporation currently has 247,167,449 outstanding shares, of which approximately 81% of LAURION's issued and outstanding shares are owned and controlled by Insiders who are eligible investors under the "Friends and Family" categories.

LAURION's emphasis is on the development of its flagship project, the 100% owned mid-stage 47 km 2 Ishkoday Project, and its gold-silver and gold-rich polymetallic mineralization with a significant upside potential. The mineralization on Ishkoday is open at depth beyond the current core-drilling limit of -200 m from surface, based on the historical mining to a -685 m depth, in the past producing Sturgeon River Mine. The Brenbar Property, which was acquired in 2020 and is contiguous with the Ishkoday Property, hosts the historic Brenbar Mine. LAURION believes the mineralization to be a direct extension of mineralization from the Ishkoday Property.

Top 10 Gold Reserves by Country

Gold is one of the most important metals on the planet. For millennia it has been used in jewelry, art and currency, capturing the collective imagination as a thing of wonder. Gold's association with royalty and wealth has inspired explorers and treasure hunters alike, who put themselves at risk for a chance to strike it rich.

Today, gold's hold on us as a precious metal is no less powerful. Still used for jewelry and as a store of wealth, the metal also has a variety of modern industrial and electronic applications.

Even though gold seems to be everywhere, in reality it's a finite resource. Only 244,000 metric tons of gold have ever been mined, and two-thirds of that has been extracted since 1950. Comparing that amount to the more than 700 million metric tons of copper that have been pulled from the ground provides an idea of how precious a resource gold truly is.
