(TSX.V: LME) and (OTCPINK: LMEFF) (\"Laurion\" or the \"Corporation\") is pleased to update shareholders and stakeholders on the advancement of the Stage 2 Exploration Campaign (the \"Campaign\") on the Corporation's 47 km2 Ishkoday Gold Project (\"Ishkoday\"). \nLaurion's 18-month exploration program, initiated in May 2018 has the strategic objective of outlining the bulk precious and base metals upside potential at Ishkoday. The Campaign follows a successful Stage 1 field validation work that not only validated precious and base metal results from a number of selective historic mineralized veins, but also produced significant selective grab sample assay results in new areas. \nThe Campaign is centered on mechanized stripping, channel sampling and assaying along several strategic NW-SE 400m to 500m outcrop stripping lines (the \"Lines\") as a first pass assessment of the bulk polymetallic veins in the 3km by 1km Target Area. Two lines were completed (T18-1 and 2; see Figure 1 Location Map. Trees were cut followed by the mechanized shovel removal of overburden; outcrop cleaning using high pressure water; water recovery in pits and re-use for outcrop washing; channeling at 0.2m to 1.5m intervals using a gas-powered saw; sampling, bagging and tagging by field technicians using ALS Laboratory tags, and geological mapping of the main rock types, structures and mineralization. The field work is being done by qualified geologists and technicians from the exploration service provider Explo-Logik Inc. \nGeological and mineralization highlights from the mechanized stri...
