LAURION Reports Assay Results from Ishkōday Project Drilling
Toronto, Ontario — February 11, 2026 — Leads & Copy — LAURION Mineral Exploration Inc. has released assay results from drill holes LBX25-101 and LBX25-102 from its recent Fall diamond drilling program at the Ishkōday Project. The program, totaling 1,821 meters across eight drill holes, was completed at the A-Zone/McLeod/CRK Zone, situated in the Beardmore–Geraldton Greenstone Belt of north-western Ontario, approximately 220 kilometers northeast of Thunder Bay.
Drill hole LBX25-101 highlights include 1.50 meters at 0.88 g/t Au, 13.60 g/t Ag, 0.24% Cu, 5.61% Zn (from 159.20 m to 160.70 m), including 0.50 meters at 2.06 g/t Au, 31.10 g/t Ag, 0.53% Cu, 12.35% Zn (from 159.70 m to 160.20 m); 1.60 meters at 1.16 g/t Au, 10.21 g/t Ag, 0.30% Cu, 4.39% Zn (from 187.70 m to 189.30 m); and 3.00 meters at 0.97 g/t Au, 4.04 g/t Ag, 0.14% Cu, 2.21% Zn (from 190.50 m to 193.50 m).
Drill hole LBX25-102 highlights include 0.50 meters at 3.89 g/t Au, 38.70 g/t Ag, 0.42% Cu, 5.37% Zn (from 45.00 m to 45.50 m); 1.00 meters at 2.04 g/t Au, 0.80 g/t Ag, 0.01% Cu, 0.02% Zn (from 108.50 m to 109.50 m); 2.04 meters at 2.63 g/t Au, 2.38 g/t Ag, 0.02% Cu, 0.17% Zn (from 205.96 m to 208.00 m), including 1.00 meters at 5.14 g/t Au, 4.60 g/t Ag, 0.04% Cu, 0.30% Zn (from 207.00 m to 208.00 m); and 0.50 meters at 2.60 g/t Au, 13.60 g/t Ag, 0.10% Cu, 6.75% Zn (from 230.30 m to 230.80 m).
The company planned drill holes LBX25-101 and LBX25-102 as part of its model-guided A-Zone program to assess mineralized horizons and strengthen continuity across the northeastern portion of the zone. The drill holes were positioned to validate structural interpretations and increase confidence in zones where both historical drilling and more recent company-led drill programs have identified broad anomalous gold mineralization with localized higher-grade intervals. The assay results are expected to provide additional technical data to support the refinement of future targeting and improve predictability for subsequent drill campaigns.
Drill hole LBX25-101 is located approximately 265 meters southwest of LBX25-100, with LBX25-102 positioned an additional 335 meters southwest, extending drill coverage along the interpreted A-Zone mineralized corridor into a sparsely drilled area. LBX25-101 was established as a step-back collar to test projected mineralized horizons and structural continuity beyond the denser drill grid. Targeting incorporated projected intercept positions from holes LBX22-055, LBX22-056, LBX22-056A, LBX22-057, and historic hole K56 to improve geological and structural constraint across this portion of the zone.
Drill hole LBX25-102 was collared adjacent to the access road approximately 1.0 km south of the River Road, north of the McLeod Zone and southwest of drill hole LBX21-041, to support continued drill coverage along this portion of the interpreted mineralized trend. This collar location enabled efficient drill access while extending geological coverage into a less densely tested portion of the corridor.
Cynthia Le Sueur-Aquin, President and CEO of LAURION, said the company is advancing the A-Zone through disciplined, high-confidence drill targeting designed to create measurable project value. She added that the objective is to complete drilling that answers specific geological questions, strengthens continuity, and improves predictability.
LAURION employs an industry standard system of external standards, blanks and duplicates for all of its sampling, in addition to the QA/QC protocol employed by the laboratory. All core samples were shipped to the ALS facility in Thunder Bay, Ontario, which were then prepared by ALS Global Geochemistry in Thunder Bay and analyzed by ALS Global Analytical Lab in North Vancouver, British Columbia.

LAURION Mineral Exploration Inc. is a mid-stage junior mineral exploration company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol LME and on the OTC Pink market under the symbol LMEFF. The Company currently has 278,716,413 common shares outstanding. LAURION’s primary focus is the 100%-owned, district-scale Ishkōday Project, a 57 km² land package hosting gold-rich polymetallic mineralization. The Company is advancing Ishkōday through a disciplined, milestone-driven exploration strategy focused on strengthening geological confidence, defining structural continuity.
LAURION’s strategy is centered on deliberate value creation. The Company is prioritizing systematic technical advancement, integrated geological and structural modeling, and the evaluation of optional, non-dilutive pathways, including historical surface stockpile processing, that may support flexibility in LAURION’s exploration plans without diverting the Company’s focus from its core exploration objectives.
The Company’s overarching objective is to build project value before monetization. LAURION will continue to communicate updates through timely disclosure and will issue press releases in accordance with applicable securities laws should any material information arise.
