Commencement Of Drill Campaign At The Ishkoday Project

TORONTO - Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc. announced the commencement of an approximate 7,000 metre diamond drill program at its Ishkoday Project located 220 km north of Thunder Bay, northwestern Ontario. The 2025 drill campaign, will focus on advancing the Corporation’s understanding of the mineralized system at the historic Brenbar Mine area and continue expanding the Sturgeon River Mine corridor, supported by the completion of deep-penetrating DCIP and Magnetotelluric (MT) geophysical surveys.

“The integration of geophysics, historic data and structural mapping allows us to advance multiple high-confidence targets in parallel,” said Cynthia Le Sueur-Aquin, President and CEO. “We believe this program will unlock meaningful extensions at both Brenbar and Sturgeon River, with the potential for new discoveries at depth and along strike.”

This drill program forms a central pillar of ongoing exploration strategy to realize the full potential of the Ishkoday gold-polymetallic mineral system.

In parallel with the Brenbar drilling, the Company will conduct a drill campaign at the Sturgeon River Mine, targeting: 1) Deeper mineralized structures beneath historic underground workings. 2) In-fill drilling to improve continuity of known gold zones. 3) Strike extensions to the north and south of the main mine area. 4) New zones to the northwest, including follow-up on the M24 and M25 vein systems, which host multiple gold-bearing quartz structures in proximity to the Sturgeon historical shaft.
