TORONTO, Dec. 28, 2018 /CNW/ - Laurion Mineral Exploration
Inc. (TSX.V: LME and OTCPINK: LMEFF) ("Laurion" or the "Corporation") today announced that it has closed its
previously-announced non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") consisting of an aggregate of 1,777,778
flow-through units (the "Units") at a subscription price of $0.09 per Unit for aggregate
gross proceeds to the Corporation of approximately $160,000.
Each Unit consists of one common share of the Corporation to be issued as a "flow-through share" (as defined in subsection
66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act")) (each, a "FT Share")
and one common share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one non
flow-through common share of the Corporation at a price of $0.12 per share for a period of 24
months from the date of issuance.
The gross proceeds allocable to the FT Shares comprising the Units will be used for "Canadian exploration expenses" (within
the meaning of the Tax Act), which will qualify, once renounced, as "flow-through mining expenditures", as defined in the Tax
Act, which will be renounced with an effective date of no later than December 31, 2018 (provided
the subscriber deals at arm's length with the Corporation at all relevant times) to the initial purchasers of Units in an
aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of the Units which are allocable to the FT Shares.
In connection with the closing of the Private Placement, certain arm's-length finders received an aggregate of $14,400 as a cash finder's commission and an aggregate of 160,000 finder's warrants having the same attributes
as the Warrants.
Pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws, all securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement are subject to a hold
period of four months and one day, expiring on April 29, 2019. The Private Placement remains
subject to the TSX Venture Exchange's final approval.
