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 ").

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

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.

LAURION now has 242,565,253 outstanding shares of which approximately 81% are owned and controlled by Insiders who are eligible investors under the "Friends and Family" categories.

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.
