LAURION Reports Multiple High-Grade Intercepts, Including 15.35 g/t Au over 0.50 m (450.9-451.4 m), 7.30 g/t Au over 0.50 m (738.6-739.1 m), and a Broad 3.0 m Interval of 1.09 g/t Au (134.0-137.0 m)

Executive Summary

• LAURION reports assay results from the final four drill holes (LME25‑067 to LME25‑070), completing its 2025 drilling program at the Ishkoday Project.
• The holes delivered the season’s highest‑grade intercepts, including a 0.5 m interval of 15.35 g/t Au and a 0.7 m interval of 11.40 g/t Au, confirming robust, stacked high‑grade gold veins in the Marge–Allard corridor.
• The data will be integrated into a 3D geological model to guide plunge‑oriented drilling under the company’s 2026‑2027 Strategic Operating Plan.

Key Details

• Program Overview: 15 holes, 7,586 m total drilled in 2025; cumulative at Ishkoday now 99,834 m in 470 holes.
• Final 1,716 m (Holes LME25‑067 to LME25‑070):
• LME25‑069: 0.5 m @ 15.35 g/t Au (450.9–451.4 m)
• LME25‑069: 3.0 m @ 1.09 g/t Au (134.0–137.0 m), including 0.5 m @ 3.89 g/t Au (136.5–137.0 m)
• LME25‑069: 1.1 m @ 4.14 g/t Au (738.0–739.1 m), including 0.5 m @ 7.30 g/t Au (738.6–739.1 m)
• LME25‑067: 0.7 m @ 11.40 g/t Au (235.6–236.3 m), within 1.3 m @ 5.64 g/t Au (235.0–236.3 m)
• Additional notable intercepts: LME25‑069 – 0.5 m @ 3.67 g/t Au; LME25‑068 – 0.5 m @ 1.04 g/t Au.
• Geological Context: Targets the eastern extension of the Marge–Allard multi‑vein system, ~700 m north of historic Sturgeon River Mine; veins include Marge (MPA, MPB, MPG), Allard, F & X, 85‑3/85‑3C, and M58.
• Historical Benchmark: 2008 strip/channel sampling returned 16.97 g/t Au over 0.47 m across 47 m of exposed Marge Vein.
• QA/QC Protocols: 5 % blanks, 5 % standards, duplicate/re‑assay checks; samples processed by ALS Global (4‑acid digestion, fire assay, ICP‑AES). No contamination or bias observed.
• Qualified Person: Jean‑Philippe Paiement, P.Geo., MSc (NI 43‑101 QP).
• Future Plans: Integration of 2025 data into 3D model; structural consolidation and plunge‑oriented drilling in 2026–2027 to test high‑grade D2‑controlled shoots.

Notable Quotes

“With the 2025 drill program now fully reported, LAURION will integrate the new data into its 3D geological and structural model for Ishkoday… Work will include structural consolidation and 3D modelling, followed by plunge‑oriented drilling to evaluate continuity of high‑grade D2‑controlled shoots…” – Cynthia Le Sueur‑Aquin, President & CEO.
