(" Canada Nickel ") whereby LAURION and CGM have agreed to grant Canada Nickel an option to acquire a 100% undivided interest in and to the Midlothian Property (as defined below).

LAURION and CGM entered into a joint venture agreement on July 25, 2019 (the " Joint Venture ") for the purposes of extending the parties' prior arrangements regarding an early stage exploration project located 80 km west-southwest of Kirkland Lake, Ontario and 25 km west-southwest of Matachewan, Ontario (the " Midlothian Property "). The principal purpose of the arrangement was to advance the development of any commercially exploitable ore body on the Midlothian Property. Under the terms of the Joint Venture, CGM was appointed as the operator owning a 70% interest, while LAURION retained a 30% interest in the mining claims.

On November 19, 2021 , LAURION and CGM entered into an agreement with Canada Nickel whereby Canada Nickel acquired the irrevocable right and option to acquire a 100% undivided interest in and to the Midlothian Property. In exchange for the option, Canada Nickel made an up-front cash payment of $50,000 and issued 100,000 common shares in the capital of Canada Nickel. In order to earn a 100% interest in the Midlothian Property, Canada Nickel must complete, pay or issue (as applicable) the following:

a)

an exploration program on the Midlothian Property having a cumulative value of $2.5 million (within four years), including first-year expenditures of $500,000; and

b)

additional cash payments and share issuances totaling $1 million and 350,000 shares, respectively, comprised of the following:

LAURION's President and Chief Executive Officer, Cynthia Le Sueur-Aquin , states: "The inclusion of Canada Nickel to our arrangement with CGM is a positive development for the project located on the Midlothian Property. By granting an option to Canada Nickel, LAURION aims to continue to realize value on the property and create value for its stakeholders through the efforts of both CGM and Canada Nickel, without any significant cash commitments by LAURION."

Canada Nickel's stated focus is to advance the next generation of high quality, high potential nickel-cobalt projects to deliver the metals needed to power the electric vehicle revolution and feed the high growth stainless steel market.

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.
