Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc. Announces Proposed Non-Brokered Private Placement Of Flow-Through Shares

Each FT Share will be a common share of the Corporation issued as a "flow-through share" (as defined in subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act")). The gross proceeds will be used for "Canadian exploration expenses" (within the meaning of the Tax Act), which will qualify, once renounced, as "flow-through mining expenditures", as defined in the Tax Act, which will be renounced with an effective date of no later than December 31, 2024 (provided the subscriber deals at arm's length with the Corporation at all relevant times) to the initial purchasers of FT Shares in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of the FT Shares.

As at the date hereof, the Corporation has accepted subscription agreements for the Private Placement in aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1.67 million.

In connection with the Private Placement, the Corporation may pay finders' fees in the form of cash commissions.

The closing of the Private Placement, as well as the payment of finders' fees in connection therewith, are subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). The Corporation intends to close the Private Placement on or about April 12, 2024, subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals. All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to, among other things, a hold period of four months and one day in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.

Further to its news releases dated August 24, 2023 and November 14, 2023, LAURION is also pleased to announce that its strategic partnership with US Capital Global Partners LLC ("US Capital Global") is advancing smoothly, with the due diligence process on the Corporation and its activities nearing completion, subsequent to the delivery of LAURION's National Instrument 43-101-compliant technical report on the Ishkoday Project, which was announced and filed under the Corporation's profile on SEDAR+ on February 15, 2024. This collaboration with US Capital Global was initiated with the primary aim of exploring opportunities and potential transactions that may offer strategic benefits to the Corporation and its stakeholders.

LAURION's aim in finalizing the Private Placement is to fortify the Corporation's treasury, enabling the fulfillment of its exploration objectives over the next 18 to 24 months. Moreover, it is expected to serve as a signal to US Capital Global and potential buyers (see LAURION's news release dated November 14, 2023) that the Corporation's exploration and development strategy is robust and steadfast.
