TORONTO, Oct. 18,
2023 /CNW/ - LAURION Mineral Exploration Inc.
(TSXV: LME) and (OTCPINK: LMEFF) ("LAURION" or the
"Corporation"), a mid-stage junior exploration and
development company focused primarily on its wholly-owned Ishkoday
Project, wishes to announce that its Annual and Special Meeting of
shareholders (the "Meeting") will be held on Wednesday, November 15, 2023 at 12:00 p.m. (Eastern time). LAURION will host a
corporate update immediately after the Meeting to discuss the
Corporation's business strategy and objectives.
The following items of business will be considered at the
Meeting:
- Setting the number of directors of the Corporation to be
elected at the Meeting at three.
- The election of the Corporation's directors. As announced in
the Corporation's news release dated September 29, 2023, Nick
Ierfino resigned as a director of the Corporation due to
personal reasons, effective September 30,
2023, and will not be standing for re-election at the
Meeting. LAURION remains confident in the capabilities of its
dedicated board and management teams, and is steadfast in its
belief that the current composition of the Board of Directors
leaves the Corporation well-positioned for continued future
advancement. Moving forward, LAURION will continue to leverage its
relationships with key service providers and experts to support
these teams, as it deems appropriate.
- The reappointment of RSM LLP as auditors of the Corporation for
the ensuing year.
- The approval and ratification of the Corporation's "rolling"
stock option plan.
The timing of the Meeting was determined in consideration of the
timing and execution of LAURION's current summer/autumn exploration
program.

General Corporate Update
The Corporation's 2023 autumn drilling campaign has commenced
and is comprised of approximately 3,675 metres of NQ drilling. The
drill program is focused on targeting the northeast extension of
the Sturgeon River Mine structure at the Ishkoday Project, located
220 km northeast of Thunder Bay
and 28 km northeast of the Township of Beardmore.
Fieldwork will continue as long as the weather conditions
prevail. Utilization of LiDAR, the magnetic geophysical survey
completed earlier this year, in conjunction with the Corporation's
3D model, has proved to be most successful in structural and
mapping work completed to date.
