Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc. Confirms the Extension of the Sturgeon River Mine Mineralization by 600 Metres to the Northeast

05.01.2024  |  CNW
With Grade Intercepts as High as 29.45 g/t Au Over 3.5 Metres, Including 186.00 g/t Au Over 0.55 Metres

TORONTO, Jan. 5, 2024 - Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSXV: LME) (OTC PINK: LMEFF) ("LAURION" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce the assay results of the first five diamond drill holes from its Fall 2023 diamond drill program, which was completed on the Corporation's Ishkoday Project, located in Ontario, 220 km northeast of Thunder Bay and 28 km northeast of the town of Beardmore.

LAURION recently announced the completion of its Fall drill program of 3,636 metres in nine diamond drill holes. The primary objective of the first five diamond drill holes was to target the northeast extension of the Sturgeon River Mine structure. The Sturgeon River Mine mineralization system comprises the Number 1, 2 and 3 (main) quartz veins, as well as other quartz veins and shear structures encountered in the historic mining of the Sturgeon River Mine. The Number 3 quartz vein was mined between 1936 and 1942.

The Number 3 quartz vein (historically mined) consists of anastomosing quartz veins oriented north-northeast and steeply dipping to the southeast. The mineralized system also comprises other mineralized structures, such as the Numbers 1 and 2 quartz veins, Coniagas and Numbers 1 8-11 quartz veins (the "3 Vein Quartz Vein System or 3QVS") along with additional secondary (for now) quartz veins and shears of different sizes and trends. The original system was historically defined over a strike length of 450 m.

The drill program targeted the extension of the system to the northeast with the intention of doubling the strike length of the mineralized structures. The results received to date demonstrate that the system extends on significant strike length and is still open at depth and along strike. Confirming the extensions of this known structure will assist with updating the 2-D and 3-D geological mineralization model LAURION, which should provide a solid technical base to initiate further diamond drilling programs in this area.

Drilling Highlights

The results for the five aforementioned diamond drill holes, LBX22-032 to LBX22-036, include the following intersection highlights:

Sampling and QA/QC Protocols

All core was transported and stored inside the core facility located in Beardmore.

LAURION employs an industry standard system of external standards, blanks and duplicates for all of its sampling, in addition to the QA/QC protocol employed by the laboratory.

After logging, core samples were identified and then cut in half along core axis in the same building, and then zip tied individually in plastic sample bags with a bar code. Approximately five or six of these individual bags were then stacked into a "rice" white material bag and stored on a skid for final shipment to the laboratory.

All core samples were shipped to the ALS facility in Thunder Bay, which were then prepared by ALS Global Geochemistry in Thunder Bay, and analyzed by ALS Global Analytical Lab in North Vancouver, British Columbia.

Samples are processed by 4-acid digestion and analyzed by fire assay on 50 g pulps and ICP-AES (Inductively-Coupled-Plasma - Atomic-Element-Spectroscopy). Over limit analyses are reprocessed with gravimetric finish. A total of 5% blanks and 5% standard are inserted randomly within all samples. 5% of the best assay result pulps were sent for re-assays. A total of 8.7% blanks and 9.5% standard were randomly inserted during the pXRF analyse of the soil sampling. 2.8% we re-analyzed. All QAQC were verified, and no contamination or bias have been observed.

The remaining half of the core, as well as the unsampled core, were stacked on a skid outside in Beardmore and then transferred to the Sturgeon Mine site core farm for final storage.
