LAURION announces results of additional channel sampling at CRK Zone, Ishkoday Project, Ontario


LAURION Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSXV: LME) and (OTCPINK: LMEFF) ("LAURION" or the "Corporation") is pleased to report additional surficial channel sample assays located within the CRK Zone, Ishkoday Project. This area is a target of LAURION's ongoing 2020 phase 2 drill program.

Channel sampling ( Figure 1) was primarily done along trend from the main NE-trending CRK Zone, with lesser samples being collected along the N-trending Joe vein (see October 13, 2020 news release). Samples were collected in newly-uncovered and previously-trenched areas and the grade and distribution show significant surficial mineralized potential (Table 1, 2).

The main CRK trenched area hosts both polymetallic (gold-silver-copper-zinc) mineralization and gold-bearing quartz veins, as well as north-trending polymetallic mineralization. In areas where these mineralized orientations converge, the grade and width of mineralization increase (see September 29, 2020 news release).

Qualified Person

Mr. David Lewis , P. Geo. (PGO), LAURION 's Exploration Manager, is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the content of this news release.

Channel samples are individually cut, perpendicular to mineralization, using a double-bladed saw to specific lengths. Samples are cut to approximately 5 cm width and 10 cm depth, with individual samples weighing approximately 1.5 to 4 kg. Channel samples are inserted into individual plastic bags, labelled and containing unique sample tags, and sealed. Aluminum tags with the sample tag information are inserted at the beginning of each channel sample cut. Collected field data includes sample number, channel azimuth, sample length, rock type and GPS UTM coordinates. Samples are catalogued and industry-standard Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) samples are added, including standards, duplicates and blanks, in a pre-established order. Samples are then sealed in nylon bags and shipped by LAURION personnel to the ALS facility in Thunder Bay, Ontario .

All core and channel samples have been assayed by ALS Laboratories in Thunder Bay, Ontario . Samples are processed by 4-acid digestion and analyzed by fire assay on 50 g pulps and ICP-AES (Inductively-Coupled-Plasma – Atomic-Element-Spectroscopy). Over limit analyses are reprocessed with gravimetric finish.

Top 7 ASX Gold ETFs in 2025

The price of gold reached record highs in 2025, driven by global economic uncertainty stemming from shifting US trade policy and escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

For many investors, gold is a tool for diversification. The precious metal is known for its ability to act as a safe haven and hence operates as a protective option when building a balanced portfolio.

Gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) give investors a relatively easy way to get exposure to physical gold without having to worry about the extra hassle of buying and storing the metal — not to mention insuring it. Gold ETFs can also track a basket of gold-focused stocks, allowing investors to spread risk instead of betting on individual companies.
