Jaxon Discovers High-Grade Antimony-Silver Mineralization at Red Springs, Announces Membership with MDRU and Stock Option Grant

February 28th, 2019, Vancouver, Canada - Jaxon Mining Inc. (TSXV: JAX, FSE: OU31, OTC: JXMNF) (“Jaxon” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a high-grade antimony-silver mineralization discovery at its flagship project Red Springs. Assays from the 2018 surface sampling and geological mapping program contained up to 5% antimony, 302 g/t silver, 2.94% zinc and 1.70% lead. These high-grade antimony-silver samples cover an area of more than 500 m in length and 200 m in width.

The Company’s 3D conceptual geological model indicates this high-grade antimony-silver sulfide mineralization is distal to and was generated by the Red Springs porphyry system, located approximately 2 km North of the antimony sampling area, identified by the sampling and mapping work completed in 2018 (Figure 1). The size of the porphyry system is indicated by the presence of a hydrothermal tourmaline breccia mineralization zone, extending more than one square kilometer in area, a number of strong IP anomalies identified by ground IP studies and other distal polymetallic sulfide vein-type mineralization occurrences.

The Company is designing a multidisciplinary exploration program to map the sources of Sb/Ag and extend the Sb/Ag discovery area. As a part of this program, the Company is developing drilling targets to test the scope and scale of the Sb/Ag discovery. A drilling program is also being designed to test the porphyries that, per the Company’s conceptual model, are the source of both the Sb/Ag and Au/Co tourmaline mineralized breccia zones.

A total of 12 surface outcrop grab or float samples have been collected in the field within the quartz-calcite-sulfide veins area in the metasedimentary rocks. Assay results show high antimony grades of up to 5%, high silver grades of up to 302 g/t, high zinc grades of up to 8.13% and high lead grades of up to 1.86% (Table 1). 6 high grade antimony (> 1 %) out of 12 samples with high grade silver were collected in an area of approximately 500 m long and 200 m wide (Figure 2). Average grades of the 12 surface samples are 2.01% antimony, 111 g/t silver, 2.32% zinc and 0.88% lead. Assay results indicate the existence of a distal high-grade antimony-silver sulfide mineralization, with zinc and lead credits, hosted in the metasedimentary rock, which is a peripheral polymetallic sulfide vein type mineralization generated by the porphyry system.

Sample Preparation and Analyses

Prospecting samples were collected in the field by experienced, professional prospectors and geological staff who selected hand samples from outcrop, chip samples, boulder and talus debris samples suitable for slabbing by rock saw. The samples were numbered, described and located in the field for follow-up. Numbered rock sample tags were placed inside each bag and securely closed for transport to the Company’s secure cold storage locked facility in Smithers, B.C. Representative sample slabs were cut from large specimens and halved rock samples so that portions of select samples could be saved for the Company’s rock library, descriptive purposes and petrographic study. MS Analytical of Langley, B.C. received the Rice Bag shipments from Smithers and then prepared the samples by crushing, grinding and pulverizing to a pulp with barren material washing between each sample at the crush and pulverizing stages. Then 20 g of pulp was used for the (IMS-117 code) ultra-trace level ICP/MS AR digestion method, and four acid 0.2 g ore grade ICP – AES method (ICP-240) and for the overlimit gold the FAS-415 method of 30 g fusion Gravimetric method was used to report gold ASSAYS. Overlimit silver is determined by Fire ASSAY 415 method. Laboratory standards and QA/QC are monitored by the Company.
