Laurion Discovers Two New High Grade Gold and Silver Zones With Assays Grading 124 g/t Gold With 79 g/t Silver and 9.87 g/t Gold With 136 g/t Silver

TORONTO, ONTARIO, Sep. 28, 2010 (Marketwire) -- Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:LME)(OTCBB:LMEFF) ("Laurion") is pleased to announce the completion of an initial comprehensive prospecting program on Laurion's Sturgeon River Property in Beardmore, ON, resulting in the discovery of two new high grade gold mineralized zones.

The first discovery zone, the Tala Zone, is located west of the Sturgeon River Mine area and appears to be on strike and east of Kodiak Exploration Limited's Brenbar Property, on which Kodiak intersected 10.35 g/t gold over 1.70 meters in drill hole BB09-09. In total, 100 samples were collected at the Tala Zone with gold values as high as 124 g/t gold. The Tala Zone appears to trend from the Brenbar Property eastward onto the Sturgeon River Property as indicated by the higher assay values clustered along an east-northeast trend which extends more than 1 kilometer in strike length.

Highlights from the Tala Zone include:

124 g/t gold with 79 g/t silver                                             
24 g/t gold                                                                 
6.1 g/t gold with 85 g/t silver                                             
5.72 g/t gold with 22 g/t silver                                            
3.45 g/t gold                                                               
2.52 g/t gold                                                               
1.05% zinc with 0.40 g/t gold                                               
10 samples graded between 0.5 g/t and 2 g/t gold.                           

The second discovery zone, the Asha Zone, is located south of the Sturgeon River Mine

area. In total, 92 samples were taken from this area with gold values as high as 9.87 g/t gold. Higher assay values were clustered along an east-northeast trend over 1.8 kilometer of strike length. The Asha Zone is adjacent to an 800 meter VLF EM anomaly that has no outcropping areas.

Highlights from the Asha Zone include:

9.87 g/t gold with 136 g/t silver                                           
8.04 g/t gold with 59 g/t silver                                            
3.71 g/t gold with 9 g/t silver                                             
2.49 g/t gold                                                               
2.04 g/t gold                                                               
1.51% zinc                                                                  
10 more samples graded between 0.5 g/t and 2 g/t gold.                      

In addition to these two new areas, a zone of quartz veining was sampled on a

southern extension of the Sturgeon River Mine Main Zone (No. 3 vein). Two samples taken approximately 165 meters south of the Sturgeon River Mine shaft returned 34.6 g/t gold (No. 3 vein) and 25.3 g/t gold (No. 3b vein). These results highlight the high grade and lateral extent of the Sturgeon River Mine vein systems.

All of the above samples were grab samples and as a result may not be representative of the average grade of mineralization in the subject zones.

Prospecting and mapping was carried out in June concurrent with a recent drilling program that resulted in significant gold and base metal intersections on the Marge vein (5.51 g/t gold over 1.32 meters in hole LME10-01) and on the Tehya Zone (0.94% copper, 3.91% zinc, 27.80 g/t silver and 0.45 g/t gold over 4.08 meters). The purpose of the prospecting was to discover new mineralized zones on which to conduct more advanced exploration programs. The discoveries in the Asha and Tala zones are successful conclusions to the prospecting program, and add two more targets to the growing list of prospects on the property that require exploration.
