LAURION intersects 19.94 g/t gold over 2.50 m, including 98.5 g/t gold over 0.50 m, in drilling at CRK Zone, Ishkoday Project

  • Mineralized zone has now been extended to 550 m along strike and 420 m across strike, with 2 km strike length between A-Zone to CRK Zone
  • Mineralized NE- and N-trending zones at CRK can be traced from surface to a maximum depth of 240 m with mineralization appearing to plunge moderately SW and remaining open at depth
  • The majority of the CRK Zone remains open below 190 m depth

LAURION Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: LME) and (OTCPINK: LMEFF) ("LAURION" or the "Corporation") is pleased to report further assay results for four (4) drill holes of the ten (10) hole, 2,962 m Phase 2 drill campaign, completed on the CRK Zone, Ishkoday Project. Assay results for the first four (4) holes were previously reported in the December 1 2020 news release and are pending on the remaining two (2) holes. The Ishkoday Project is located approximately 220 km northeast of Thunder Bay, Ontario near the town of Beardmore in the Onaman-Tashota gold belt.

Drill holes LME20-026 to LME20-029 were drilled along the main NE-trending trenched CRK Zone at approximately 100 m spacing as shown in Figure 1 .

Drilling Highlights:

  • LME20-026
    • 2.50 m grading 19.94 g/t gold and 2.03 g/t silver, including 0.50 m grading 98.5 g/t gold and 8.3 g/t silver
    • 1.00 m grading 5.41 g/t gold
    • 7.60 m grading 0.46 g/t gold, 1.22 % zinc, including 1.00 m grading 2.87 g/t gold and 5.54 % zinc
  • LME20-028
    • 0.50 m grading 5.61 g/t gold, 10.5 g/t silver
  • LME20-029
    • 1.12 m grading 1.56 g/t gold, 3.98 % zinc

David Lewis , P.Geo., LAURION Exploration Manager, commented: "Significant widths and grade of surficial gold and zinc mineralization is present at the CRK Zone and these four drill holes represent systematic testing of the CRK Zone mineralization to depth. Not only have we been able to extend the main sheared mineralized trend 135 m to the southwest, but we have been able to trace it 310 m between holes at depth. Furthermore, we are seeing a change in mineralization at depth to the southwest, with wider intervals and higher grades, where it remains open."

Significant assay data is presented in Table 1 and drill hole position and orientation data is presented in Table 2. A plan map of mineralization and drill sections are presented in Figure 1 .
