Laurion Completes Key Milestone of Stockpile Funding Project

30.10.2018  |  CNW

/THIS NEWS RELEASE IS INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION IN CANADA ONLY AND IS NOT INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES./

TORONTO, Oct. 30, 2018 -  Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: LME and OTCPINK: LMEFF) ("Laurion" or the "Corporation") is pleased to provide an additional update on its previously-announced stockpile funding project (the "Stockpile Funding Project"), pursuant to which a private investment group (the "Investor") is financing and otherwise supporting the development and potential extraction of gold and other metals from historic surface stockpiles (the "Surface Stockpiles") located on Laurion's wholly-owned Ishkoday property (the "Ishkoday Project") situated 220 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay, Ontario.

On October 2, 2018, the Corporation issued a news release providing an update on the status of the Stockpile Funding Project and confirming that negotiations were progressing positively amongst the principal parties. The Corporation is now pleased to announce that since the issuance of the previous news release, a new wholly-owned subsidiary of Laurion by the name of "Ahsineeg Inc." ("Ahsineeg") has been incorporated and organized in connection with the Stockpile Funding Project. Referred to as "Newco" in previous announcements of Laurion, Ahsineeg today acquired the Surface Stockpiles from Laurion in exchange for additional common shares in the capital of Ahsineeg. 

Following the completion of these key milestones, the relevant parties will now look to complete the remaining components of the Stockpile Funding Project, being the following:

(a) 

The entering into of certain operating and contracting agreements by Ahsineeg, in regards to the Surface Stockpiles.



(b)    

It is anticipated that the Investor will help further fund the processing of the Surface Stockpiles by completing an approximate $4.5 million investment in Ahsineeg (the "Newco Private Placement"). The net proceeds from the Newco Private Placement shall be held in escrow until: (i) a Preliminary Economic Analysis ("PEA") is completed in respect of the Surface Stockpiles; and (ii) Laurion and the Investor both consent to the release of such gross proceeds from escrow.

 

Definitive documentation for the remaining transactions contemplated hereby continue to progress, with closing expected to occur in the coming weeks.
