Jaxon Receives Deep IP and MT Dataset Inverted by Geotexera, Generates More Precise 3D Projections Confirming Model of Netalzul Mountain Copper Polymetallic Porphyry System

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 10, 2023) - Jaxon Mining Inc. (TSXV: JAX) (FSE: 0U31) (OTC Pink: JXMNF) ("Jaxon" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has received the first version from Geotexera of the inverted deep IP data from the geophysical survey conducted by SJ Geophysics in 2021 over Netalzul Mountain. This first set of inverted data has been used to update Jaxon's conceptual geological models and to generate more precise projections of the size, location and orientation of the Netalzul Mountain porphyry system. After the MT and other datasets have been inverted, the projections will be used to generate more accurate vectors that will be used in future drilling programs. The Company expects to publish a full report including an updated 3D geological model including the design of the anticipated test drilling program in Q2-Q3 of 2023.

Geotexera is a pioneer in the development of advanced geophysical modeling and inversion methods (https://www.geotexera.com/about). In the first version of a series of reports on the inversion results, Geotexera's Geophysical Modeling & Inversion "Geotexera GMI" used unstructured meshes to produce the inversions of the IP chargeability and DC resistivity data used to generate the visualizations (Figures 1, 2). The Company now awaits the delivery of the MT and the magnetic vector inversions (MVI) and will use these additional datasets to further advance the Netalzul Mountain target modeling program. These projections will be used to design higher-precision, drill test programs.

Geotexera's April 2023 report of the IP data projections (the "Report") confirm Jaxon's 2D projections and show the strong low IP chargeability or high conductivity anomaly the 2D projections place at the center of the Netalzul Mountain porphyry zone (Figures 3, 4). Geotexera's projections also show a large, medium to strong resistivity anomaly in the left-center of the porphyry target area (Figures 5, 6). The Report provides additional orientation information and confirms the coincident location of the Netalzul porphyry system as projected by Fathom Geophysics' 2021 model which integrated Jaxon's geophysical and geochemical datasets. Figures 7 and 8 show the overlay of both the 3D IP chargeability and resistivity anomalies with soil and rock geochemical anomalies as mapped in Fathom's 2021 model.

The Report further supports the Company's position that a large, deeper porphyry system exists within Netalzul Mountain, elevation between 1200 m to 1500 m, with the porphyry system located approximately 500 to 800 meters below the peak (Figures 4, 6).

The 3D inverted data adds orientation information as well as more refined size and location information to the Jaxon's models. Geotexera's results are consistent with the visualizations and conceptual locations generated by both Jaxon's and Fathom Geophysics' 2021 models which were based on Jaxon's existing 2D geophysical datasets as integrated with then existing geochemical datasets. Jaxon and Fathom will work with Geotexera's 3D IP/DC and other inverted datasets to generate updated models that will be used to visualize the targets and guide drill program design.

The Company is reviewing the inverted IP/DC data and the Report in anticipation of receiving and integrating additional datasets being inverted by Geotexera. Geotexera will also integrate Jaxon's 2021 drilling and other geotechnical data in its model. The additional inverted datasets are expected in the coming days and the Company anticipates Geotexera's final report will be released in Q2 of 2023. Updated versions of Fathom Geophysics' Comparative & Vectoring models will follow.

This same advanced target modeling and vectoring approach will be applied to inform the design of the contemplated drill programs targeting the Red Springs copper polymetallic porphyry system and the Kispiox Mountain and Blunt Mountain antimony-copper porphyry systems.
