JAXON INTERCEPTS A THICKNESS OF 26.3 METRE GOLD-BEARING TOURMALINE BRECCIA MINERALIZATION ZONE AT RED SPRINGS

Jaxon Mining Inc. has completed the second and third diamond drill holes (BB18-02 and BB18-03) in the phase 1 diamond drilling program on the Backbone gold-bearing tourmaline breccia zone at Red Springs, located on its 100-per-cent-optioned 44,000-hectare Hazelton property in the Skeena Arch area of northwest British Columbia, Canada.

Drilling program -- phase 1 update:

• BB18-03, a diamond drill hole with HQ core (63.5 millimetres in diameter), was completed to a depth of 120 metres, with a dip angle of negative 55 degrees.
• BB18-03 intercepts a thickness of up to 26.3 metres of tourmaline breccia showing strongly silicified and sulphide mineralization from a drill hole depth of 67.0 metres to 93.3 metres.
• BB18-03 was drilled on the azimuth at 100 degrees, and confirms the dip extension of the same tourmaline breccia mineralization sampled at the Channel E outcrop. The assay of the mineralization sampled at the Channel E outcrop previously reported five metres grading 6.78 grams per tonne gold including two metres grading 15.28 g/t Au with other metal credits.
• BB18-02, a diamond drill hole with HQ core (63.5 mm in diameter), was completed to a drill hole depth of 189.15 metres with a dip angle of negative 85 degrees.
• BB18-02 intercepts the tourmaline breccia mineralization zone from a drill hole depth of 10.3 metres to 24.7 metres, which includes 2.6 metres of strongly silicified and sulphide mineralization from 22.1 metres to 24.7 metres.
• BB18-02 was drilled on the same azimuth as BB18-01, at 100 degrees, as referenced in the news release dated Oct. 4, 2018.
• BB18-03 is located 295 metres north of BB18-01 and BB18-02, and confirms the continuity of the gold-bearing tourmaline breccia zone along strike at the Backbone area.

Tony Guo, Jaxon's chief operating officer, commented: "We have an early, excellent and confirmatory result. The third drill hole, BB18-03, has intercepted areas with thicknesses of up to 26.3 metres, showing the same type of very strong silicified and sulphide tourmaline breccia mineralization as exposed in our earlier channel sampling program. BB18-03 also confirms the dip extension of the tourmaline breccia neralization at Channel E and demonstrates the zone's continuity along 295 metres of strike. Should the company receive positive assay results in the range of the channel sample assay results we have already published, we will we have outlined a major discovery that is open along over 1,000 metres of strike and that is part of a much larger porphyritic system."

About Jaxon's Red Springs drilling program

Jaxon's phase 1 of a 2,000-to-2,200-metre diamond drilling program, consisting of eight drill holes on the Backbone gold-bearing tourmaline breccia zone, commenced on Oct. 4, 2018, at the company's Red Springs project, located on its 100-per-cent-optioned, 44,000-hectare Hazelton property in the Skeena Arch area of northwest British Columbia, Canada.

The Backbone gold-bearing tourmaline breccia zone is a 1,000-metre-long strike and up-to-15-metre-wide surface outcrop mineralization. This zone, per previously released assay results, indicates the mineralized existence of high-grade gold of up to 25.86 g/t with cobalt, copper, antimony and silver credits.

The first batch of samples is expected to be delivered to the lab for assay by early November, 2018. The drilling program is expected to be completed by the end of October, 2018.

The objective of the phase 1 drilling program is to determine the width, continuity and grade of gold-bearing tourmaline breccia mineralization at depth. A further objective is to demonstrate the viability of IP geophysics as an exploration tool for the mineralization at the Red Springs project, and will provide the opportunity for further downhole geophysics to better define the geometry of any mineralization intersected during the program. In addition, it is anticipated that the results will add to Jaxon's knowledge of the nature of the tourmaline breccia mineralization and its controls.

The company will provide further information as it becomes available and will release updates on the progress of drilling over the coming weeks, including posting videos and photos on its website.
