[{"type":"text","content":"Laurion 2026 Strategic Update For Ishkoday: Proposed Dual-Drill Program, Stockpile Gold Recovery Initiative, And Phased Path To Mineral Resource Estimate\n(TheNewswire)\n\n \n\n\nToronto, Ontario — March 24, 2026\n– TheNewswire — LAURION Mineral Exploration Inc.\n(TSX-V: LME | OTCQB: LMEFF | FSE: 5YD) (“LAURION” or the\n“Company”) is pleased to announce its 2026\nstrategic work program at the Ishkōday Gold Project (“Ishkōday”\nor the “Property”), located 220 kilometres northeast of Thunder\nBay, Ontario, within the Beardmore-Geraldton Greenstone Belt.\n\n\nPROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS\n\n\n\n\n2026 EXPLORATION PROGRAM: Proposed phased drill campaign targeting up to ~50,000\nmetres across the 6-kilometre Ishkōday mineralized corridor, which is\nexpected to be the largest exploration program in LAURION’s history,\nsubject to financing. \n\n\n\nPHASED DUAL-RIG STRATEGY: Phase 1 will mobilize a drill rig targeting the A-Zone and\nSturgeon River Mine Area. Phase 2 will add a second rig to test nine\nhigh-priority IP geophysical targets adjacent to the A-Zone that have\nnever been drilled. \n\n\n\nDISTRICT-SCALE TARGET\nPORTFOLIO: The 2026 program will systematically\ntest priority targets across the Ishkōday corridor, including\nhistorically under-tested gold and polymetallic zones. \n\n\n\nSURFACE STOCKPILE\nINITIATIVE: LAURION is evaluating a surface\nstockpile gold recovery program as a potential source of internally\ngenerated funding to support exploration, which may reduce future\nreliance on equity financing and minimize dilution to existing\nshareholders. The program remains subject to permitting, financing,\nand completion of a Preliminary Economic Assessment\n(“PEA”). \n\n\n\nPATH TO RESOURCE: LAURION plans to initiate an NI 43-101 Mineral Resource\nEstimate (“MRE”) in Q4 2026, with a Technical Report targeted for\nQ1 2027. \n\n\n\nSHAREHOLDER MEETING: Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for\nApril 15, 2026 in Toronto, Ontario. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n“The 2026 drill program is the\nmost ambitious in LAURION’s history and represents the culmination\nof everything we have learned about Ishkōday to date,” said Cynthia Le Su...
