TORONTO, May 31, 2019 /CNW/ - LAURION Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: LME and OTCPINK: LMEFF) ("Laurion" or the "Corporation"), is pleased to announce that its upcoming Annual and Special Meeting (the "Meeting") of shareholders (the "Shareholders") will be held at the Valhalla Inn, 1 Valhalla Inn Road, Thunder Bay, Ontario, P7E 6J1, on Thursday, July 11, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time).

At the Meeting, Shareholders of record on May 31, 2019 will be asked to, among other things: (i) fix the number of directors of the Corporation to be elected at the Meeting; (ii) elect the directors of the Corporation; (iii) re-appoint RSM LLP, Chartered Accountants, as the auditors of the Corporation for the ensuing year and authorize the directors of the Corporation to fix their remuneration and the terms of their engagement; (iv) consider a resolution ratifying and approving the renewal of the Corporation's rolling stock option plan; and (v) consider an ordinary resolution of disinterested Shareholders approving the issuance of common shares in the capital of the Corporation ("Common Shares") to a member of management in exchange for the settlement of certain existing debts of the Corporation (the "Shares for Debt Transaction").

Subject to the approval of disinterested Shareholders and the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V"), pursuant to the Shares for Debt Transaction, the Corporation intends to settle a total of approximately CAD$146,700 in payables owing to a non-arm's length party for consulting fees relating to management services by issuing 1,467,008 Common Shares at a deemed price of CAD$0.10 per share.

Satisfying the foregoing payables with Common Shares allows the Corporation to preserve its cash for use on its projects and for working capital. The Common Shares issued pursuant to the Shares for Debt Transaction will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance.

The proposed issuance of Common Shares to a non-arm's length party pursuant to the Shares for Debt Transaction constitutes a "related party transaction" under Multilateral Instrument 61-101– Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). It is anticipated that the Corporation will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 because the fair market value of the Common Shares being issued pursuant to the Shares for Debt Transaction will not exceed 25% of the Corporation's market capitalization.
