Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc. Intersects 2.55 Metres at 2.50 g/t Gold, 7.96 g/t Silver and 1.17 % Zinc

25.10.2022  |  CNW
Including 0.55m at 8.91 g/t Au, Identifying New High-Grade Potential for Orogenic Type Mineralization Along the Niish Shear Zone

TORONTO, Oct. 25, 2022 - Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSXV: LME) and (OTCPINK: LMEFF) ("LAURION" or the "Corporation"), is very pleased to announce the assay results for two (2) new diamond drill holes, totaling 600 m, which tested the undrilled potential continuity of mineralization in the southwestern portion of the McLeod Zone. The drill holes intersected orogenic style mineralization associated with the Niish shear zone (Figure 1), confirming the high-grade gold potential of this type of mineralization at the Ishkoday Property. This newly identified high-grade structure is open both on strike and at depth.

"The 2022 drill program continues to demonstrate the continuity of the current mineralized zones but also identified new high-grade potential along the main shear zone in undrilled areas," stated Cynthia Le Sueur-Aquin, President and CEO of LAURION. "The drill results confirm the depth extension of the mineralization identified on surface at the McLeod area. These results significantly increase the gold mineral exploration potential of the Ishkoday Property."

The McLeod Zone is located along the 6 km long Au-Zn-Cu-Ag mineralized trend at the Ishkoday project, near Beardmore, Ontario.

Drill hole LBX22-088 is located 80 m southwest of drill hole LBX22-084 and tested the continuity of a strong I.P. chargeability high anomaly below the McLeod Zone and is associated with the Niish shear zone.

Drill hole LBX22-089 is located 100 m NE of drill hole LBX22-088. This hole targeted the southeastern continuity of high-grade sulphide zone in the McLeod Area, 400 m southwest of the A-Zone. Past drilling in the area (LBX20-021) returned assay results of 5.95 g/t gold, 29.6 g/t silver over 0.49 m; 6.98 g/t gold, 15.2 g/t silver, 1.93 % zinc over 0.57 m; and 0.89 g/t gold, 4.0 g/t silver and 1.04 % zinc over 14.08 m.

LAURION is pleased with its key exploration milestones achieved in 2022, validating the 6 km x 2.5 km mineralized corridor and extending the A-Zone to the McLeod Zone by 400 m to 1.4 km, thereby significantly increasing the gold potential of the property by identifying this new orogenic mineralization associated with the Niish Shear zone.

The Corporation is awaiting the remaining 5 drill hole assay results.

Sampling Analysis and Laboratory

Samples from the 2022 drilling were cut and sent for analysis. Preparation and analysis were completed at the Actlabs (ISO 9001:2015) laboratory in Thunder Bay. Actlabs is an internationally recognized laboratory that provides geochemical sample preparation, analytical procedures, and data management solutions. LAURION uses a quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) program that monitors the chain of custody of samples and includes the insertion of blanks (5% of the announced results), duplicates (1.3% of the announced results), and standard reference material (5% of the announced results) in each batch of samples sent for analysis. Drill core is photographed, logged, and cut in half with one half retained in a secured location for verification purposes and one half shipped for analysis. The entire sample is crushed to 80% passing 2 mm and a riffle split of 250 grams is taken and pulverized to 95% passing 105 µm (RX1). Samples are analyzed by four-acid digestion/ICP-MS package for 36 elements (1F2). Additionally, samples are analyzed for Au using a firing assay from a 50-gram pulp (1A2B-50). Overlimit samples values for zinc (>1%) and Pb (>0.5%) are re-assayed using a four-acid digestion overlimit method with ICP-AES 9 (8-4 Acid over limit). No QA/QC issues were noted with the results reported herein.
