TORONTO, March 9, 2021 /CNW/ - LAURION Mineral
Exploration Inc. (TSXV: LME) (OTC-PINK: LMEFF) ("LAURION" or
the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that, due to strong
investor demand, it has increased the maximum size of its
previously-announced non-brokered private placement (the
"Private Placement") to approximately $1.62 million, consisting of up to approximately:
(i) 6,386,348 flow-through units (the "FT Units") at a price
of $0.23 per FT Unit; and (ii)
681,819 non flow-through units (the "Non-FT Units") at a
price of $0.22 per Non-FT Unit.
Each FT Unit will consist of one common share of the Corporation
to be issued as a "flow-through share" (as defined in subsection
66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act")) (each, a
"FT Share") and one Series A common share purchase warrant
(each, a "Series A Warrant"). Each Non-FT Unit will consist
of one non flow-through common share of the Corporation and one
Series B common share purchase warrant (each, a "Series B
Warrant" and together with the Series A Warrants, the
"Warrants"). Each Warrant will be exercisable for one non
flow-through common share of the Corporation for a period of 12
months from the date of issuance. Each Series A Warrant will be
exercisable for a price of $0.25 per
share, and each Series B Warrant will be exercisable for a price of
$0.24 per share.
The gross proceeds allocable to the FT Shares comprising the FT
Units will be used for "Canadian exploration expenses" (within the
meaning of the Tax Act), which will qualify, once renounced, as
"flow-through mining expenditures", as defined in the Tax Act,
which will be renounced with an effective date of no later than
December 31, 2021 (provided the
subscriber deals at arm's length with the Corporation at all
relevant times) to the initial purchasers of FT Units in an
aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the
issue of the FT Units which are allocable to the FT Shares. The
Corporation intends to use the net proceeds from the issue of
Non-FT Units for exploration activities and general working capital
purposes.
In connection with the Private Placement, the Corporation may
pay finders' fees in the form of cash commissions and finder's
warrants having the same attributes as the Series A
Warrants.
The closing of the Private Placement, which is anticipated to
occur on or about March 12,
2021, remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture
Exchange (the "TSXV"). All securities that are issued
pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to, among other
things, a hold period of four months and one day in accordance with
applicable Canadian securities laws.
About LAURION Mineral Exploration Inc.
The Corporation is a junior mineral exploration and development
company listed on the TSXV under the symbol LME and on the OTCPINK
under the symbol LMEFF. The Corporation currently has 203,419,101
outstanding shares, of which approximately 72% of LAURION's issued
and outstanding shares are owned and controlled by Insiders who are
eligible investors under the "Friends and Family" categories.
LAURION's emphasis is on the development of its flagship
project, the 100% owned mid-stage 47 km2 Ishkoday
Project, and its gold-silver and gold-rich polymetallic
mineralization with a significant upside potential. The
mineralization on Ishkoday is open at depth beyond the current
core-drilling limit of -200 m from
surface, based on the historical mining to a -685 m depth, in the past producing Sturgeon
River Mine. The recently acquired Brenbar Property, which is
contiguous with the Ishkoday Property, hosts the historic Brenbar
Mine and LAURION believes the mineralization to be a direct
extension of mineralization from the Ishkoday Property.
