LAURION Strengthens Exploration Team with the Appointment of Jean-Philippe Paiement as Technical Advisor to Ishkoday

LAURION Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: LME) (OTCPINK: LMEFF) ("LAURION" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Jean-Philippe Paiement P.Geo MSc, as Technical Advisor - Exploration Geology to the Corporation.

Cynthia Le Sueur-Aquin , President and CEO of the Company, commented: " We are proud and excited to have Jean-Philippe join the Laurion Mineral Exploration Team as Technical Advisor.  LAURION has been working with Mira Geoscience, of whom Jean- Philippe is also the Director of Global Consulting.  Mira's directive was to conduct a "full integration" of LAURION's data to develop an integrated 3D model from which a mineralization's genetic and exploration model can be derived. Our collective objective is to generate a multi-parameter platform to produce a high-level targeting approach with the objective to identify the larger scale ore-forming mineralizing system. Using Ishkoday's substantial surface exposure and information as springboard the model will enable LAURION to connect the current exploration targets over a 6 km strike length corridor with a width of 1.5 km, and to unlock value to LAURION shareholders.  LAURION'S advancements with database construction in combination with Mira's most advanced geological and geophysical modelling will provide a competitive advantage to strategically allocate resources to high priority drill targets.  We believe Jean-Philippe as technical advisor will bring huge value to Ishkoday with his extensive experience and success in exploration discovery, with focus to rapid resource expansion, in conjunction with his key role at Mira. "
