VANCOUVER, British Columbia - (NewMediaWire) - October 15, 2024 - Lexston Mining Corporation (the "Company" or "Lexston") (CSE: LEXT) (OTCQB: LEXTF) (Frankfurt: W5G) Lexston Mining Corporation (CSE: LEXT) (OTCQB: LEXTF) (the "Company" or "Lexston") is pleased to provide a project update on the ITZA and 176 Nunavut Uranium properties in Nunavut (the "Project").
Aurora Geoscience geologists completed 7 days of prospecting, mapping and sampling with helicopter access to the Project based out of Baker Lake. The work was completed with two crew, daily field traverses resulted in 75km of prospecting. 5 Areas were prospected and mapped utilizing a RS-125 scintillometer, a total of 113 boulders and 16 outcrops were surveyed. A total of 21 samples were collected and have been submitted to ALS laboratories for Geochemical Analysis these results are still pending. Aurora geologists also provided field-based mapping outlining the extent of Till Veneer and Glaciofluvial deposits which cover >90% of the mapped areas.
Preliminary Results
The recent field reconnaissance program yielded promising results, identifying several key indicators favorable for uranium mineralization. Notably, low-level anomalous readings were detected over a broad area of boulder trains and outcrops using a handheld scintillometer, highlighting potential mineralization zones. Most of the prospective areas (approximately 90-95%) are covered by a thin veneer of glacial till and glaciofluvial deposits, which is consistent with regional patterns and suggests that a potential deposit may be concealed beneath this cover.
Encouraging signs of a broader mineralized system were observed, including strong hematite alteration and with elevated scintillometer readings. These findings, along with historical data, point to the 176-target area as particularly promising, though the central area also shows positive equal signs.
Additionally, historical board spaced geophysics and regional geological mapping have identified significant structural lineaments in the area, intersecting with the unconformity associated with Thelon Basin sandstones. Basement structures known to host uranium-rich hydrothermal convection are present, and the proximity to the unconformity suggests that potential uranium mineralization could be relatively shallow.
Local geophysical anomalies align with the detected low-level uranium anomalism. Given the overlying till veneer, further geophysical investigations are expected to refine our understanding of the structural lineaments and better define the location of the unconformity within the identified anomalous zones.

1 Historical Data: The technical information contained within this news release is derived from public domain data and minerals claims assessment reporting and is freely available from the Canada-Nunavut Geoscience Office (CNGO) website. This news release includes historical information that has been reviewed by Lexston's qualified person ("QP"). Lexston's review of the historical records and information reasonably confirm the validity of the information presented in this news release; however, Lexston cannot directly verify the accuracy of the historical data, which includes (but not limited to) the procedures used for sample collection and analysis. Therefore, any conclusions or interpretations that may arise from the respective data should be considered too speculative to suggest that additional exploration will result in mineral resource delineation. Lexston encourages readers to exercise appropriate caution when evaluating results based on historical data.
2 Exploration Target(s): Exploration targets and/or Exploration zones and/or Exploration areas are speculative and there is no certainty that any future work or evaluation will lead to the definition of a mineral resource.

These forward-looking statements include but are not limited to potential deposits, mineralized system, timing of the exploration program, goals of the exploration program, obtaining financing, obtaining exploration permits, exploration of properties for minerals, liquidity of the common shares of the Company and future financings of the Company. These statements reflect management's current estimates, beliefs, intentions, and expectations. They are not guarantees of future performance. The Company cautions that all forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and that actual performance may be affected by many material factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control.
