LMEFF Laurion Minerals Exploration Inc (PK)

Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE: LME)(OTCQX: LMEFF) ("Laurion" or the "Corporation") has closed the private placement (the "Offering") of the issuance of 8,200,000 flow-through units (each a "Unit") at a price of $0.10 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $820,000, as previously announced on June 17, 2011 (the "Initial Announcement"). The terms set forth in the Initial Announcement were subsequently revised, as announced on June 23, 2011. The Offering is subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Each Unit consists of: (i) one common share of Laurion, which qualifies 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 entitles the holders 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.

Finder's fees totalling an aggregate of $66,850 cash and 799,000 options (the "Finder's Options") were paid in connection with the Offering. While 750,000 of the issued Finder's Options each entitle the holder 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 remaining issued Finder's Options each entitle the holders to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.10 per Common Share for a period of 24 months from the Closing.

The proceeds of the Offering will be used to fund the Company's exploration activities on the Sturgeon River property near Beardmore, Ontario.
