Vancouver, British Columbia, June 18, 2024. - TheNewswire - 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 announce the engagement of Aurora Geosciences Ltd. In preparation for the 2024 field season.  Crews are anticipated to mobilize in June 2024, to begin verifying historical results and ground truthing favorable anomalism in high priority target areas on the properties.

CEO Jag Bal stated, "This field program will initially verify the historical uranium anomalism identified at the property which we intend to follow up with additional ground-based geophysics ahead of a future drilling program”.  Mr. Bal continues, "This year's program will mark Lexston’s inaugural field season focusing on the ground truthing uraniferous boulder trains identified at the property. Aurora Geosciences brings over 40 years of remote field exploration expertise and is focused on delivering excellence in northern exploration with the goal of providing mineral discovery".

About the Itza and 176 Properties

Property Highlights:

• The Itza and 176 Projects (the “Properties”) are in the Thelon Basin in the Kivalliq Region of Nunavut, occupying an area of 11,350 hectares.  The Properties represent a strong land position in the Thelon Basin. 

• xtensive historical data is available on the Properties to guide exploration planning.  

• Historical high-grade uranium occurrences: including a historical pebble sample (#1708, Boulder SN-176) retrieved during boulder prospecting returned 4,000 counts per second (cps) using a scintillometer and assayed 332,000 ppm U (39.15% U3O8).  

• Previous exploration programs were terminated without extensive drill testing.  

• The portfolio that covers the spectrum from conceptual exploration targets to near-drill ready targets.

Priority Targets for follow up:

A) Coincident anomalism at the 176 Property area surrounding priority target SN-176 associated with mapped reactivated structures, Uranium in soil, and EM-VLF anomalies.

B) Uraniferous boulder train targets at the Itza Property.

The combined Itza and 176 properties straddle the mapped unconformity between the Thelon Fomation and the underlying Amer Lake Metasediments. It contains numerous reactivated Faults identified during previous exploration, the intersection of reactivated faults and unconformities is highly prospective for uranium deposits. Multiple coincident anomalies on the property:  Magnetic Low, VLF Electromagnetic, Gravity Low, Radiometric, Uranium in Soil and uriniferous boulder train anomalism require immediate ground truthing and follow up.

1 Historical Data: 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.

Such forward-looking information reflects management's current beliefs and are based on a number of estimates and/or assumptions made by and information currently available to the Company that, while considered reasonable, are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause the actual results and future events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. Readers are cautioned that such forward-looking information are neither promises nor guarantees and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, general business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties, uncertain and volatile equity and capital markets, lack of available capital, actual results of exploration activities, environmental risks, future prices of base and other metals, operating risks, accidents, labour issues, objections by aboriginal people, delays in obtaining governmental approvals and permits, obtaining consents of aboriginal people and other risks in the mining industry.

These forward-looking  statements include but are not limited to 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 is presently an exploration stage company. Exploration is highly speculative in nature, involves many risks, requires substantial expenditures, and may not result in the discovery of mineral deposits that can be mined profitably. Furthermore, the Company currently has no reserves on its properties.  Investment in the securities of the Company is very risky.  As a result, there can be no assurance that such forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements.  .
