LME · Price

Executive Summary

  • LAURION Mineral Exploration Inc. reports assay results from two drill holes (LBX25-098 and LBX25-099) from its Fall diamond drilling program at the Ishkōday Project in Ontario.
  • The program completed 1,821 metres across 8 holes, with these two holes highlighting significant polymetallic gold, silver, and zinc mineralization in the A-Zone/McLeod/CRK Zone.
  • Results include high-grade intervals such as 0.70m @ 22.10 g/t Au in hole LBX25-098 and 0.75m @ 3.62 g/t Au with 57.20 g/t Ag in hole LBX25-099, supporting the continuity of the corridor's mineralization.

Notable Quotes

  • “Our work within the A-Zone, McLeod, and CRK corridor on the Ishkōday continues to highlight the importance of this area as an extremely exciting core area of focus for the Company,” said Cynthia Le Sueur-Aquin, President and CEO. “This corridor extends approximately 1.4 kilometres along strike and up to roughly 675 metres in width, and hosts multiple zones of gold, silver, zinc, and copper mineralization... As we continue to integrate drilling results with structural interpretation and three-dimensional modelling, our objective is to build geological confidence and advance the project in a disciplined manner that supports the Company’s longer-term technical and strategic objectives.”
