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 .

Over limit analyses are reprocessed with gravimetric finish.

 

   About Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc.   

 

The Corporation is a junior mineral exploration and development company listed on the TSX-V under the symbol LME and on the OTCPINK under the symbol LMEFF. The Corporation currently has 198,718,522 outstanding shares, of which approximately 71% 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 recently acquired Brenbar Property, which is contiguous with the Ishkoday Property, hosts the historic Brenbar Mine and LAURION believes that the mineralization to be a direct extension of mineralization from the Ishkoday Property.

Bert Dohmen: Gold, Silver Key as Stock Market Bull Trap Looms

Bert Dohmen, founder and CEO of Dohmen Capital Research, sees physical gold and silver as key safe havens as a potential bull trap in the broad stock market plays out.

"We said we're probably going to go to a new high in a major, widely watched index like the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX). It's going to be by a small amount a new high, and that's going to close the bull trap," he said.

Top 5 ASX Gold Stocks of 2025

Gold continued to perform well through the second quarter of 2025, reaching a new all-time high of AU$5,425 per ounce on April 22.

The price surge has occurred amid volatile equity and financial markets since the start of the year, driven by concerns over a global trade war and escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

The rising gold price has also been supported by uncertainty over a looming debt crisis in the United States. Some investors have turned away from dollar-denominated haven assets, such as US Treasuries, in favour of precious metals like gold.

Meeka Metals Reports First Gold Pour at Murchison Project

Meeka Metals (ASX:MEK) has poured the first gold at its flagship Murchison project in Western Australia.

The pour happened on Tuesday (July 1), and in a Wednesday (July 2) press release, the company said the project’s production is in line with schedule, happening within 12 months of breaking ground.

Murchison sits near several multimillion-ounce gold mines and hosts a large, high-grade resource of 1.2 million ounces at 3 grams per tonne (g/t) gold on granted mining leases.
