LAURION Unlocks High-Grade Gold up to 16.00 g/t in West Vein Systems of the Sturgeon River Mine Area
Executive Summary
- LAURION released second‑set assay results from its 7,700 m 2025 drill program at the 100% owned Ishkõday Project, confirming multiple narrow high‑grade gold intercepts and polymetallic mineralization.
- Highlights include a 0.50 m interval grading 16.00 g/t Au and 8.20 g/t Ag (hole LME25‑059) and a 0.75 m interval with 3.13 g/t Au and 23.90 g/t Ag (hole LME25‑058).
- The results reinforce continuity of the M‑series vein corridor and support LAURION’s 3‑D model, indicating strong potential for stacked high‑grade veins in a structurally controlled zone northeast of the historic Sturgeon River Mine.

Notable Quotes
“With over 93 % of the 2025 drill program completed, the results from LME25‑058 and LME25‑059 continue to highlight Ishkõday’s robust exploration potential… These results support our evolving 3D model and the project’s capacity to host multiple mineralized zones.” – Cynthia Le Sueur‑Aquin, President & CEO
