LAURION BROADENS ADVISOR NETWORK AND ISSUES STOCK OPTIONS TO FIRST NATIONS UNDER AMENDED EXPLORATION AGREEMENT AS ISHKODAY EXPLORATION PROGRESSES
Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc. has provided this corporate update on its advisory engagements, exploration progress and investor outreach initiatives.
Advisory network expansion
As part of its continuing corporate development strategy, Laurion has broadened its advisory network to include additional strategic partners engaged to complement and extend the corporation's capital markets and merger-and-acquisition (strategic transaction) initiatives. This expanded network, established prior to the conclusion of Laurion's engagement with U.S. Capital Global Partners, as disclosed in its most recent public filing, is intended to enhance the corporation's institutional outreach, market visibility and transactional execution capabilities. Laurion has created a layered, multichannel approach designed to expedite investor access, broaden the corporation's ability to explore transactional opportunities, and ensure the corporation can efficiently engage a wider breadth of potential partners and stakeholders in exploring strategic alternatives. While the corporation anticipates that the benefits of these expanded advisory efforts will materialize progressively over time, this co-ordinated framework aims to strengthen Laurion's foundation for long-term growth and advance its shareholder value strategy with discipline and transparency.
Advancing the Ishkoday exploration program
Laurion continues to execute a disciplined and systematic advancement of its flagship 57-square-kilometre Ishkoday project, located 220 km northeast of Thunder Bay, Ont. Further to the corporation's press releases dated May 8, 2025, May 27, 2025,

exploration agreement
between
Laurion
and the
Animbiigoo Zaagi'igan Anishinaabek,
Bingwi Neyaashi Anishinaabek
and
Biinjitiwaabik Zaaging Anishinaabek first nations, the corporation's board of directors has authorized the issuance of an aggregate of
750,000 stock options
(250,000 to each first nation). These options, granted under Laurion's stock option plan, are exercisable at a price of

the exploration agreement, reflecting Laurion's continued commitment to long-term collaboration, transparency and shared benefit with its indigenous partners.
Looking ahead and shareholder updates
Laurion reaffirms that any developments of material significance will be communicated without delay. In the meantime, shareholders are encouraged to respect channel integrity and refrain from speculating on social media, which may negatively affect the share price and delay the effective execution of strategic initiatives. The corporation appreciates shareholders' patience and trust. The board and management continue exerting every effort, in concert with its diverse advisers, to maximize shareholder value.
