TORONTO, Nov. 27, 2020 /CNW/ - LAURION Mineral
Exploration Inc. (TSXV: LME) (OTCPINK:
LMEFF) ("LAURION" or the "Corporation") today
announced that due to strong interest in its previous,
fully-subscribed financing whereby certain prospective investors
were unable to participate, the Corporation is proposing to
complete a new flow-through and non flow-through private placement
on a non-brokered basis (the "Private Placement") for
approximate aggregate gross proceeds of up to $250,000. Under the flow-through portion of the
Private Placement, the Corporation intends to raise up to
approximately $85,000 in gross
proceeds by issuing up to approximately 340,000 flow-through units
(the "FT Units"). Under the non flow-through portion of the
Private Placement, the Corporation intends to raise up to
approximately $165,000 in gross
proceeds by issuing up to approximately 750,000 non flow-through
units (the "Non-FT Units"). Pursuant to the Private
Placement, the FT Units will be issued at a price of $0.25 per FT Unit and the Non-FT Units will be
issued 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 common share purchase warrant (each, a
"Warrant"). Each Non-FT Unit will consist of one non
flow-through common share of the Corporation and one Warrant. Each
Warrant (whether comprising part of an FT Unit or a Non-FT Unit)
will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one non flow-through
common share of the Corporation at a price of $0.26 per share for a period of 12 months from
the date of issuance.
As at the date hereof, the Corporation has accepted subscription
agreements for the Private Placement in aggregate gross proceeds of
approximately $230,000.
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, 2020 (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 Warrants.
The closing of the Private Placement is 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 198,718,522
outstanding shares, of which approximately 71% 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.
