The Ishkōday Gold and Base Metal Project is LAURION Mineral Exploration’s 100%-owned flagship asset, spanning 57.43 km² (14,191 acres) in the prolific Beardmore–Geraldton Greenstone Belt of Northern Ontario, approximately 220 km northeast of Thunder Bay, Canada.
Located in a historically productive mining camp, Ishkōday benefits from established infrastructure, year-round road access, and proximity to regional processing facilities — providing a strong foundation for long-term exploration and potential development.
Ishkōday hosts a dual mineralized system — a unique combination of orogenic gold–silver and base metalc–copper–silver–gold mineralization — distributed across a 6.0 km strike length and 2.5 km-wide corridor. This system has been validated through more than 98,000 metres of drilling in 462 holes, confirming extensive alteration, sulphide mineralization, and strong structural control.
Mineralization occurs along multiple shear zones, quartz-sulphide veins, and volcanogenic horizons, illustrating the project’s potential for both precious and base-metal resources within a single, integrated geological environment.
LAURION’s exploration program at Ishkōday is data-driven, integrating geophysics, structural mapping, geochemistry, and AI-assisted 3D modelling to define and expand mineralized zones.
Current exploration focuses on:
This disciplined approach supports capital-efficient discovery and long-term resource expansion.
LAURION is committed to exploring and developing Ishkōday responsibly. The Corporation integrates ESG best practices across all field activities, emphasizing environmental care, transparent reporting, and meaningful consultation with local and Indigenous communities.
Through its Exploration Agreement with the AZA, BNA, and BZA First Nations, LAURION ensures that all work programs are conducted in a manner that supports local participation, economic benefit, and environmental stewardship.
The Ishkōday Project positions LAURION as a unique hybrid exploration company — advancing a dual gold–base-metal system with scalable potential across a district-sized footprint. The project’s combination of geological complexity, validated mineralization, and strong infrastructure supports a clear pathway from exploration toward potential development and strategic partnership.
“Ishkōday embodies the convergence of science, opportunity, and sustainability — where disciplined exploration meets long-term value creation.”
