TORONTO, Dec. 24, 2021 /CNW/ - LAURION Mineral
Exploration Inc. (TSXV: LME) (OTCPINK: LMEFF) ("LAURION" or
the "Corporation") today announced that it is proposing to
complete a new flow-through private placement on a non-brokered
basis (the "Private Placement") as a result of strong
investor demand for the Corporation's previous private placement,
which closed on December 8, 2021 on
substantially similar terms for aggregate gross proceeds of
approximately $2 million. Pursuant to
the Private Placement, the Corporation intends to raise up to
approximately $575,000 in aggregate
gross proceeds by issuing up to approximately 766,668 flow-through
units (the "FT Units") at a price of $0.75 per 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-half of one common share purchase
warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a
"Warrant"). Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder
thereof to acquire one non flow-through common share of the
Corporation at a price of $0.82 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 $225,000.
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, 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.
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. LAURION now has 246,320,183 outstanding
shares of which approximately 81% 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 Brenbar Property, which was acquired in 2020 and is
contiguous with the Ishkoday Property, hosts the historic Brenbar
Mine. LAURION believes the mineralization to be a direct extension
of mineralization from the Ishkoday Property.
