LMEFF Laurion Minerals Exploration Inc (PK)

Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE: LME)(OTCQX: LMEFF) ("Laurion" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce a proposed non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") of up to 7,500,000 flow-through units (each a "Unit") at a price of $0.10 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $750,000.

Each Unit shall consist of: (i) one common share of Laurion (each a " FT Share"), which will qualify as a flow-through share pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada); and (ii) one common share purchase warrant (each a "Warrant"). Each whole Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase, for a period of 24 months (the "Term") from the closing of the Offering (the "Closing"), one common share of Laurion issued on a non-flow through basis (each a "Common Share") upon payment of $0.16 in the first year of the Term or $0.18 in the second year thereof. The Closing is expected to take place on or about June 30, 2011.

The Corporation shall pay a cash commission equal to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and shall issue that number of options (each a "Finder's Option") as is equal to 10% of the aggregate number of Units sold pursuant to the Offering. Each Finder's Option shall entitle the finder to purchase one Unit (issued on a non flow-through basis) at an exercise price of $0.10 per Unit (with each Unit in turn consisting of a Common Share and a Warrant exercisable on the same terms as the Warrants described above) for a period of 24 months from the Closing.

The FT Shares, Common Shares and Warrants shall be subject to resale restrictions for a period of four months and one day from the date of issuance, and the Offering remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Laurion intends to use the proceeds of the Offering to finance the drilling, exploration and development of its Sturgeon River property.
