(TSXV: LME) (OTCPINK: LMEFF) ("LAURION" or the "Corporation") announces that its President and Chief Executive Officer, Cynthia Le Sueur-Aquin, exercised an aggregate of 1,530,000 stock options (the "Options") on June 15, 2022. Specifically, an aggregate of 1,530,000 common shares of LAURION ("Common Shares") were acquired by Ms. Le Sueur-Aquin upon the exercise of 720,000 Options at a price of $0.10 per share and the exercise of 810,000 Options at a price of $0.05 per share. Ms. Le Sueur-Aquin, who is also a director of the Corporation, currently intends to hold the Common Shares resulting from these Option exercises for investment purposes. The Options were previously granted by the Company on December 31, 2012, December 31, 2013 and March 13, 2015, respectively. "LAURION is, and will remain, my largest personal investment by a significant margin," states Ms. Le Sueur-Aquin. "By exercising these Options with the aim of holding the resulting Common Shares for investment purposes, I am reconfirming my faith in the prospects of the Company. I am proud of the progress and success that LAURION has experienced in recent years, especially as it pertains to the continuing development of its flagship Ishkoday Project."
The Corporation is a junior mineral exploration and development company listed on the TSXV under the symbol LME and on the OTCPINK under the symbol LMEFF. The Corporation currently has 254,052,613 outstanding shares, of which approximately 82% of LAURION's issued and outstanding shares are owned and controlled by Insiders who are eligible investors under the "Friends and Family" categories.
LAURION's emphasis is on the development of its flagship project, the 100% owned mid-stage 47 km2 Ishkoday Project, and its gold-silver and gold-rich polymetallic mineralization with a significant upside potential. The mineralization on Ishkoday is open at depth beyond the current core-drilling limit of -200 m from surface, based on the historical mining to a -685 m depth, in the past producing Sturgeon River Mine. The Brenbar Property, which was acquired in 2020 and is contiguous with the Ishkoday Property, hosts the historic Brenbar Mine. LAURION believes the mineralization to be a direct extension of mineralization from the Ishkoday Property.
