(TSX.V: LME and OTCPINK: LMEFF) (\"LAURION\" or the \"Corporation\"), is pleased to announce laboratory certified assay results from the 2018 SONIC drilling completed on its surface stockpile (the \"Stockpile\") emanating from the historic operation of the Sturgeon River Mine at the Corporation's wholly owned Ishkoday Project (\"Ishkoday\"). A total 20 SONIC drill holes for 183m were completed testing the core of the Stockpile; collecting some 378 samples analyzed for gold. \nThe SONIC drilling had the objectives of (1) drilling to, and determining the bottom of the Stockpile; (2) better assessing the gold carrying material; and (3) collecting continuous samples at 1.5m intervals to the bottom of the Stockpile using a near equally spaced grid on the upper bench. LAURION expects completing the necessary studies for the optimal processing of the surface ore-bearing stockpile.\nProgram Assay Highlights for 2018\nThe 2018 SONIC drilling was supervised by Qualified Persons as defined by National Instrument 43-101 rules following CIM standards of best practices for the industry. The laboratory certified gold assay results for three sample size fractions (under 2mm, 2mm to 6.3mm, and over 6.3mm fractions) are summarized as follows: \nGold for the under 2mm fraction ranged between 0.01 and 26.20 g/t gold; the same fraction in the 2010 sampling gave a range between 1.77 and 17.00 g/t gold; Gold for the 2mm to 6.3mm fraction ranged between trace and 30.40 g/t gold; the same fraction in the 2010 sampling gave a range of 0.05 to 4.84 g/t gold; and Gold for the over 6.3mm fraction ranged between trace and 2.7...
