[{"type":"text","content":"\n Phase 1 Drilling Underway at A-Zone; New Target Drilling Commenced\nToronto, Ontario — May 27, 2026 – TheNewswire — LAURION Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: LME | OTC: LMEFF | FSE: 5YD) (“LAURION” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the commencement of the Initial phase - Phase 1 diamond drilling program at its wholly owned Ishkōday Gold and Polymetallic Project (“Ishkōday” or the “Property”), located 220 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay, Ontario, within the Beardmore-Geraldton Greenstone Belt. The Company also announces the appointment of Dr. Trevor Boyd, Ph.D., P.Geo., as Qualified Person responsible for LAURION’s ongoing technical program.\nPROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS\n\n\nPHASE 1 DRILLING COMMENCED: LAURION has mobilized a diamond drill rig at the A-Zone and has initiated Phase 1 of its planned 2026 dual-drill program, comprising approximately 10 drill holes totalling 3,175 metres, targeting infill drilling within the known A-Zone footprint and new high-priority targets within the northeastern A-Zone area. \n\n\nNEW TARGETS AND INFILL DRILLING: Phase 1 will include drilling within the known A-Zone and McLeod Zone mineralized footprint and holes designed to test new high-priority targets in the A-Zone corridor that have not been adequately tested in previous programs. \n\n\nDR.

This is the moment LAURION has been building toward, and it is enormously satisfying to see a rig on the ground at Ishkōday,” said Cynthia Le Sueur-Aquin, President and CEO of LAURION. “Our Phase 1 program is disciplined and targeted: drilling within the A-Zone and McLeod Zone footprint, and holes designed to test new high-priority targets within the northeastern A-Zone corridor that, in our view, have never been adequately tested. We are focused on building the geological confidence this system deserves. We are also very pleased to welcome Dr. Trevor Boyd as our Qualified Person. Trevor’s depth of experience in orogenic gold and polymetallic systems, and his specific expertise in geochemistry and data integration, makes him ideally suited to guide LAURION’s technic...
