Laurentian Goldfields Ltd. and Kinross Gold Corporation Sign Uchi Exploration Alliance Agreement

Laurentian Goldfields Ltd. (TSX-V: LGF) (“Laurentian”) is pleased to announce that it has finalized its previously announced Exploration Alliance Agreement with Kinross Gold Corporation (“Kinross”) to conduct a CDN$500,000 generative exploration program in the Uchi Geological Subprovince of Ontario and Manitoba (the “Uchi Alliance”) over a period of one year. The Uchi Alliance will target the highly prospective Red Lake, Rice Lake, and Pickle Lake greenstone belts for orogenic gold deposits.

Under the terms of the Uchi Alliance Agreement, Kinross and Laurentian will invest CDN$400,000 and CDN$100,000, respectively, to fund one year of early-stage exploration to identify new gold exploration projects.

Kinross may elect to form a joint venture with Laurentian on a 50/50 percentage basis in any of the projects identified and acquired as a result of the Uchi Alliance. Kinross can increase its interest to 75% on each joint venture property by solely funding an additional $1.5 million in exploration expenditures over a two year period from the date the joint venture is formed.

Granting of Incentive Stock Options

In addition, Laurentian announces that pursuant to the Company’s Stock Option Plan, 1,935,000 incentive stock options, exercisable at $0.17 per share for a period of five years, have been granted to certain directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company.
