Laurion Announces the Completion of Its Due Diligence on Stroud's Leckie Lake
Gold Property
TORONTO, March 29 /CNW/ - Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSXV: LME) ("Laurion") announced that it has completed technical due diligence on the Leckie Lake Gold Property (the "Property"), located 3 kilometres north of Temagami, Ontario.
The Property, which is owned by Stroud Resources Ltd. ("Stroud"), was the subject of a letter of intent between Stroud and Laurion dated February 4, 2010 (the "Letter of Intent"). GeoVector Management Inc. was retained by Laurion to complete the initial due diligence on the Property prior to Laurion and Stroud entering into an option agreement on the terms and conditions agreed to in the Letter of Intent. Laurion, after due consideration of the criteria for a mineral property acquisition, determined that the Property did not meet such criteria.
In January 2010, Laurion sold its interest in property located in the Tisdale Township, Timmins, Ontario, to San Gold Corporation. As a result of the sale, Laurion is focused on replacing this asset and is continuing to identify prospective advanced stage projects to add to its property portfolio.
On March 22, 2010, Laurion entered into a consulting agreement (the "Consulting Agreement") with three mining consultants (collectively, the "Consultants"). Laurion has retained the Consultants to assist Laurion with evaluating mining properties and projects located in the United States. Laurion has issued stock options to each of the Consultants as part of their compensation under the Consulting Agreement.
