Laurion Mineral drills 0.8 m of 9.16 g/t Au at Ishkoday

Executive Summary

• Laurian Mineral Exploration released initial intercepts from the first three drill holes of its 2025 program, highlighting a high‑grade gold intersection of 9.16 g/t Au over 0.80 m in hole LME25‑060.
• All three holes (totaling 2,151 m) confirmed continuity of multiple vein systems at depths to >600 m, supporting the company’s geological model and indicating potential for both discrete high‑grade shoots and broader mineralized envelopes.
• The results reinforce Laurian’s strategic focus on advancing the Ishkoday project and position the company for further exploration and possible future transaction activity.

Key Details

• Hole LME25‑060: 9.16 g/t Au over 0.80 m (272.70–273.50 m); 3.16 g/t Au over 1.00 m (583.80–584.30 m); 3.13 g/t Au over 1.00 m (379.00–380.00 m).
• Hole LME25‑056: 3.07 g/t Au over 0.50 m (609.50–610.00 m); 3.03 g/t Au over 0.60 m (595.20–595.80 m).
• Hole LME25‑057: 1.31 g/t Au over 0.50 m (536.50–537.00 m).
• Total depth drilled in first three holes: 2,151 m.
• Program objectives: test depth extensions beneath historic workings, infill for continuity, extend strike north/south, evaluate new zones (M24 & M25 vein systems).
• Geophysical support: deep‑penetrating DCIP and MT surveys identified resistivity/chargeability anomalies linked to quartz veining and sulfide mineralization.
• Management comment (Cynthia Le Sueur‑Aquin, President & CEO): “The first three holes have validated our geological model… These results build momentum for the balance of the program.”
• QA/QC: 5 % blanks, 5 % standards, duplicate/re‑assay protocol; samples processed by ALS Global using fire assay and ICP‑AES. No contamination or bias observed.
• Qualified Person: Jean‑Philippe Paiement, PGeo, MSc (NI 43‑101).
