December 2, 2019, Vancouver, Canada - Jaxon Mining Inc. (“Jaxon” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: JAX, FSE: OU31, OTC: JXMNF) is pleased to report high-grade gold-copper tourmaline breccia chip samples from its 2019 field season program at its Red Springs Project located near Smithers in northwestern B.C.
Chip sample results (Table 1) from the surface outcrops of the tourmaline breccia zone collected from the North Cirque area confirm the high-grade gold-copper bearing tourmaline breccia mineralization extends to the North Cirque area from the Backbone area, as previously reported (Figure 1).

2019 Chip Sampling Program Highlights

  • 2 metres grading 9.23 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 2.43% copper including 1 metre grading 12.21 grams per tonne (g/t) gold, 4.76% copper and 907 ppm cobalt in Channel NC005;
  • 3 metres grading 1.90 grams per tonne (g/t) gold equivalent including 1 metre grading 0.86 grams per tonne (g/t) gold, 0.44 % copper and 1006 ppm cobalt in Channel NC004 and;
  • 4 metre grading 1.42 grams per tonne (g/t) gold equivalent including 2 meters at 1.88 g/t grams per tonne (g/t) gold equivalent in Channel NC006.

Other Highlights

  • Gold grades up to 40.41 g/t, copper grades up to 8.3% and cobalt grades up to 0.36% were observed in samples taken from the North Cirque area during the 2018 field sampling program (Table 2 and Figure 1).
  • IP survey results at IP line EW at North Cirque completed by Simcoe GeoScience in 2018 are also very encouraging (Figures 1-3). S1 and P1 anomalies (Figure 2) may be caused by the tourmaline breccia zone or pipe that extends from the North Cirque area to the North West (NW) Cirque area (Figure 1, B-A cross section, Figure 3). This data will be further evaluated and used to vector in on the 2020 drill targets.

Qualified Person

Yingting (Tony) Guo, P.Geo., President and Chief Geologist of Jaxon Mining Inc., a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed the chip channel sampling program, prepared the scientific and technical information and verified the data supporting such scientific and technical information contained in this news release.

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 samples tags were placed inside each bag which was securely closed for transport to Jaxon’s secure cold storage locked facility in Smithers, BC. Representative sample slabs were cut from large specimens and halved rock samples so that portions of select samples could be saved for the Jaxon’s rock library, descriptive purposes and petrographic study. MS Analytical of Langley B.C. received the Rice Bag shipments after secure transport from Smithers and they 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 is monitored by Jaxon.
