Attention Business Editors:

^Laurion Updates on 2008 Exploration Programs on the Sturgeon River in

Beardmore; German, Lydian, Enid-Massey and North Tisdale Properties in

Timmins, Ontario@

Issued and Outstanding 65,923,683 Common Shares

TORONTO, Feb. 14 /CNW/ - Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSXV: LME)

("Laurion") is pleased to provide an update on the Enid-Massey

("Enid-Massey"), Lydian ("Lydian"), (previously East Clavos), the German

("German"), and the North Tisdale projects located in Timmins; and the

Sturgeon River Mine Project located in the Beardmore-Geraldton district in

Ontario (the "Sturgeon").

Sturgeon River Mine Project - Beardmore- Geraldton District: Laurion 100%

interest

A detailed compilation of all historical data is currently underway on

the Sturgeon River Mine. Once completed, a NI 43-101 Technical Report will be

prepared and geological programs comprising field work, ground geophysics and

drilling will be designed and implemented for the upcoming field season.

The Property consists of thirty-five (35) patented mineral claims and is

located 22 km northeast of Beardmore Ontario. The Sturgeon Mine operated from

1936 to 1942, producing 73,332 oz of gold and 15,922 oz of silver from 233,476

tons of ore. At its closing, the Sturgeon River Mine was estimated to have

reserves of 130,680 tons grading of 0.306 oz of gold per ton (OM 86-43). This

historical estimate is not current and does not meet CIM Definition Standards

and is here for historical purposes and should not be relied upon.

The Beardmore-Geraldton mineral belt has produced 4.1 million ounces of

gold from several deposits located along its 84 km east-west extent, and is up

to 21 km wide. The Beardmore-Geraldton Camp is under explored and contains

significant geologic potential at current metal prices for the discovery of

additional economic gold, silver, and base metal deposits.

The Sturgeon is located 10 km southwest and along strike of Kodiak

Exploration's 'Golden Mile', 'Marino', 'Yellow Brick Road', 'Penelton' and

'WL' vein systems at the Hercules project. The Sturgeon is reported to host

more than 120 veins, many of which host significant gold mineralization in

multiple parallel structures. Notable base metal values are also present

within the felsic volcanics.

Lydian and German Projects - Timmins: Laurion 50% and 75% interest

respectively

In early 2008, a total of 11 km and 6 km of Induced Polarization and

Magnetic surveys were completed on the Lydian and German Projects

respectively. Once the results have been finalized, targets will be selected

for a diamond drilling program scheduled to commence in mid to late March.

Enid-Massey Project: Laurion 100% interest

The Phase Four Exploration Program has been completed on the Enid-Massey

Project. The program was designed to test several spectral I.P. chargeability

and magnetic anomalies that coincided with moderate to strong EM conductors

previously identified in the 2006 AeroTEM airborne survey on the Santrap and

ZED'or grids.

On the Santrap Grid, five diamond drill holes totaling 630 m were

completed. On the ZED'or Grid, three diamond drill holes totaling 291 m were

completed. A total of 159 samples have been prepared and shipped for assay to

Accurassay Laboratories in Thunder Bay, Ontario.

Earlier results from the Phase Three Exploration Program in the

Cote-Bihar and Argos Areas revealed anomalous copper and zinc values

intersected in diamond drill holes AR-07-02 and AR-07-03.

The Corporation follows a rigorous sampling and QA/QC protocol on all of

its exploration projects. Results will be published as they are returned and

have been reviewed by management.

North Tisdale Claims: Laurion 100% interest.

The Corporation is currently compiling available historic data together

with more recent regional airborne data and a property ground MAG survey

completed in the 90's with the goal to completing field work, additional

ground geophysics and diamond drilling mid to late summer 2008.

The Tisdale Claims have seen very little exploration property-wide.

Higher gold prices and historical data reviews have prompted consideration for

further exploration on the Tisdale Claims targeting zones of reported

alteration, quartz veining, and gold mineralization either in core or at

surface.

The abundance of faults is one of the most prominent features of the

Tisdale property and is host to the Davidson Tisdale Mine (668,662 tonnes at

8.33 g/t equating to 179,187 oz measured and indicated at a 4.0 g/t cut off

grade as per NI 43-101 Technical Report by Geostat, 2003.

Tisdale Armstrong-McGibbon Zone

Eight holes were drilled in 1985 by the Getty-Davidson Tisdale Joint

Venture. Three separate alteration zones were intercepted, two of which were

auriferous. The most favourable result was from diamond drill hole DB85-8

which reported an intersection of 0.73 oz/ton Au over 1.0 m (Upper Zone). The

second auriferous zone (middle zone) was located between 30 to 40 m below

Upper Zone. Quartz veining was reported in five veins systems ranging up to

3.7 m in thickness. Anomalous values and visible gold was reported in three of

the seven holes (OM 85-168).

Tisdale Kinch North Zone

This area was drilled by Newmont in 1984 with reported assay values of

0.07 oz/ton Au over 28.9 ft included 0.31 oz/ton Au over 1.0 ft, 0.16 oz/ton

Au over 1.8 ft, 0.14 oz/ton over 1.7 ft and 0.165 oz/ton Au over 3.7 ft; and

some reported assays values in sludges were 0.17 oz/ton Au over 70 ft

including 0.34 oz/ton Au over 10 ft, as well as 0.29 oz/ton Au over 10 ft and

0.15 oz/ton Au over 10 ft.

The Tisdale Kinch Shaft Zone is reported to host historic exploration

shafts. Visible gold is noted at several locations with surface grab samples

returning values up to 0.55 oz/ton. Historic drilling in 1954 in quartz

veining and notable sulphides reported one assay at 0.74 oz/ton Au over 2.0 ft
