LAURION and Metals House Inc. Form Strategic Alliance

22.05.2019  |  CNW

/THIS NEWS RELEASE IS INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION IN CANADA ONLY AND IS NOT INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES./

TORONTO, May 22, 2019 - Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: LME and OTCPINK: LMEFF) ("Laurion" or the "Corporation"), is very pleased to announce that LAURION and Metals House Inc. ("Metals House") has signed a Doré Sourcing Agreement which includes LAURION and LAURION's wholly-owned subsidiary, Ahsineeg Inc. ("Ahsineeg"), and Ahsineeg's private investment group.

"We are excited to partner with Laurion in this strategic initiative," said Ayman Shahin, Co-Founder and CEO of Metals House. "We expect this to be the first step in a mutually beneficial long-term relationship between Laurion and Metals House."

This Agreement will give Metals House a 'right of first refusal' to the 190,000 tonne surface stockpile (the "Surface Stockpile") located on LAURION's wholly-owned Ishkoday property (the "Ishkoday Project") situated 220 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay, Ontario. The former Sturgeon River Mine produced 73,322 ounces of gold, and 15,929 ounces of silver (1936-1942) from the No. 3 Vein (24 g/t gold), generating a large gold and silver bearing stockpile in the indicated resource category. (NI 43 -101 – See Press Release April 23, 2013 and the Technical Report filed on SEDAR June 2013).

LAURION's wholly-owned subsidiary, Ahsineeg, along with its private investment group, will not only finance and otherwise support the development and extraction of gold and other metals from the Surface Stockpile, but will serve as the Canadian conduit/broker for Metals House for doré sourced in Canada and other countries.

Metals House is a fully regulated global precious metals trading firm with its principal trading subsidiary in the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) in Dubai, UAE. The firm has offices in Dubai, Miami, Sao Paulo, Toronto, Nouakchott and Hong Kong.

Metals House's primary business is arbitraging the pricing spreads between gold as a commodity (raw/unrefined gold) and gold as a currency (refined/"Good Delivery" bars). The company purchases unrefined artisanal mine-produced precious metals, as well as bullion, bulk scrap jewelry, and government-minted gold and silver coins globally. Metals House verifies the purity and refines the precious metals, and sells Good Delivery bars and minted coins to clients worldwide. Metals House earns its revenues independent of gold price volatility.

Metals House recently launched a $150 Million Debt Security Offering. The investment opportunity, launched in April 2019, combines the collateral backing of physical gold with a senior secured 8% coupon debt instrument. Approximately 95% of Metal House's total capital base is backed by physical precious metals (gold and silver) inventory and USD currency, with inventory hedged against market fluctuations.

LAURION's announcement of this Agreement with Metals House not only signals an important moment for LAURION and its shareholders moving forward, but creates a mutually beneficial long-term strategic financial working partnership for both parties.

Cynthia Le Sueur-Aquin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Laurion stated: "This is truly a Win-Win scenario for all parties involved. Metals House Inc. has an excellent reputation in precious metals trading and long-standing relationships in the gold and silver industries. We look forward to drawing from their extensive international network, their industry expertise and their market knowledge while bolstering a strategic financial partnership that in time will drive the significant upside in LAURION's Ishkoday Gold Project."
