Laurion Announces Completion Of Previously-Announced Private Placement Of Flow-Through Units And Non Flow-Through Shares

Laurion closes $1m financing to fund drilling at its Ishkoday project as shares hit multi-year lows.

Executive Summary
  • Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc. announced the completion of the second and final tranche of its non-brokered private placement on June 17, 2026.
  • The second tranche consisted of 333,333 non-flow-through common shares issued at $0.21 per share, generating approximately $70,000 in gross proceeds.
  • This follows the first tranche closed on June 12, 2026, which issued 3,576,946 flow-through units at $0.26 per unit for approximately $930,006 in gross proceeds.
  • Total gross proceeds from the offering amount to approximately $1.0 million.
  • Proceeds are allocated to advance the 2026 drill program on the Ishkōday property, with remaining funds directed toward exploration activities and general working capital.
  • Each flow-through unit includes one common share purchase warrant exercisable at $0.35 per share for 24 months.
  • Securities are subject to a 4-month-and-1-day hold period, with the first tranche expiring on October 13, 2026, and the second tranche on October 18, 2026.
  • The transaction remains subject to final TSX Venture Exchange approval.
Material Impact
  • The closing of this financing is an expected, incremental follow-up to the May 25, 2026 announcement and the May 27, 2026 drilling commencement.
  • The $1.0 million raise directly funds the announced 2026 Phase 1 drill program (~3,175 metres initially planned) and working capital, aligning with management's stated capital requirements.
  • The pricing ($0.26 for FT units, $0.21 for NFT shares) is slightly above the recent market trading range of $0.20, indicating reasonable terms for a private placement at these levels.
  • The dilutive impact is manageable relative to the ~278.7 million shares outstanding and the capital raised.
  • The news does not alter the fundamental exploration thesis, project stage, or valuation drivers. It is a routine execution of a previously disclosed capital raise.
  • No material change to the company's strategic direction, asset base, or near-term catalysts is introduced.
