Moving forward, LAURION will continue to leverage its relationships with key service providers and experts to support these teams, as it deems appropriate.
• The reappointment of RSM LLP as auditors of the Corporation for the ensuing year.
• The approval and ratification of the Corporation's "rolling" stock option plan.

The timing of the Meeting was determined in consideration of the timing and execution of LAURION's current summer/autumn exploration program.
