TORONTO, Nov. 15, 2021 /CNW/ - LAURION Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSXV: LME) (OTCPINK: LMEFF) ("LAURION" or the "Corporation") is very pleased to announce that it has retained Ronacher McKenzie Geosciences Inc. ("RMG") of Sudbury, ON to work with LAURION in the design, execution, and geological management of exploration work on its Ishkoday Project, located 220 km northeast of Thunder Bay. The projects will be supervised by Claire Somers, P.Geo.
Stated Cynthia Le Sueur-Aquin, CEO and President: "LAURION has been most successful in achieving its exploration objectives and drilling goals over the last three years, accumulating a substantial geoscientific database. Gearing up into next phase of the Ishkoday exploration evolution and ramping up the 2022 drill program, LAURION's engagement of the RMG muscle provides consistency and accessibility to a variety and depth of diverse geological expertise with innovative approaches and new techniques, to achieve the next level exploration successes and development of efficient operations. The RMG group of geologists and geophysicists will provide a unique combination of solutions for innovative targeting and resource development, across the 6km by 250m mineralized corridor on the Ishkoday."
Elisabeth Ronacher, Principal Geologist and co-founder of Ronacher McKenzie Geoscience, stated: "We are excited to be working on the Ishkoday Project with the LAURION team. LAURION has collected high-quality data and we are looking forward to advancing this unique project and bringing it to the next stage by conducting an in-depth data analysis using our team's extensive industry expertise."
A total of 10-15,000 metres of drilling has been allocated for the 2022 exploration drilling program. LAURION, RMG and Jean-Philippe Paiement of Mira Geoscience are in the process of completing judicious target ranking across the 1.4km strike length of the A-Zone, McLeod and CRK Zones, to maximize drilling success and development of Ishkoday resources. The criterion has been derived from the 2018 to 2021 desktop studies and field-based programs.
In parallel with the drill program, LAURION also aims to complete a detailed mapping and lithogeochemical sampling program over selected areas of the property with the secondary goal of populating a database of rock samples for lithogeochemical characterization. The mapping with focus on structure will assist in developing a broader litho-structural understanding of the Ishkoday Project, whilst the collection of in-situ samples will greatly support the litho-geochemical framework.

About LAURION
The Corporation is a junior mineral exploration and development company listed on the TSXV under the symbol LME and on the OTCPINK under the symbol LMEFF. LAURION now has 242,565,353 outstanding shares of which approximately 79% are owned and controlled by Insiders who are eligible investors under the "Friends and Family" categories.
LAURION's emphasis is on the development of its flagship project, the 100% owned mid-stage 47 km2 Ishkoday Project, and its gold-silver and gold-rich polymetallic mineralization with a significant upside potential. The mineralization on Ishkoday is open at depth beyond the current core-drilling limit of -200 m from surface, based on the historical mining to a -685 m depth, in the past producing Sturgeon River Mine. The Brenbar Property, acquired in 2020, is contiguous with the Ishkoday Property and hosts the historic Brenbar Mine. LAURION believes the mineralization to be a direct extension of mineralization from the Ishkoday Property.
