Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 28, 2016) - Historical exploration at the rice Creek Project from 2008
has reported assays (Otterborn Resources, 2008) from 67to 937 grams per tonne Ag and 0.2 to 3.29grams per tonne Au. Zinc and lead
returned moderate to high results with peak assays of 18% and 16% respectively. Selected assays are summarized in the table

Jaxon Minerals Inc. (TSXV: JAX) ("Jaxon") is pleased to announced a letter of intent has been signed to purchase the Ag-Zn-Pb-Au
Price Creek massive sulfide Property ("Property") from CJL Enterprises Ltd. ("Vendor"). The 2396 ha. Property is located in the
Price Creek valley of north-central British Columbia, approximately 55 kilometres north of the town of Smithers.
The property hosts two known showings: The Knoll Zn-Pb-Ag-Au (Minfile 093M 100) and the more expansive Max Ag-Au-Zn-Pb
occurrence (Minfile 093M 027) with at least 19 distinctive massive sulfide-bearing outcrops distributed over a 700 metre by 1000
metre area that have been subject to numerous exploration programs in the past years.
A Report in the year 2000 (Wojdak and Ethier) noted the mineralization cut by drilling in the Knoll area is similar in style to
that mined at Eskay Creek, and that the same style was observed in massive stratiform polymetallic mineralization at the adjacent
Max area.
The property has at least four known styles of mineralization:
| |
1) |
Stratiform, bedding parallel sulfide mineralization (up to 1.5 metres thick) that was probably related to a shallow
marine, VMS exhalative (hot spring) hydrothermal system. It is seen in the Max area at the “Creek” “Max Main Trench”,
“Forgotten”, “Lower Forgotten” and “Knoll View” occurrences. In the Max area, the zones of stratiform sulfide
mineralization include pyrite, arsenopyrite, galena, sphalerite, jamesonite, stibnite and gold.
|
| |
|
|
| |
2) |
Sulfide-bearing veins hosted in the Cretaceous Max Stock and its hornfelsic envelope. These north to northeast striking
veins contain of pyrite and arsenopyrite; a 15 centimetre chip sample across the Spine assayed 12.7g/t Au (BC Minfle).
|
| |
|
|
| |
3) |
Sediment-hosted veins, up to1.5 metre wide, that contain variable quantities of pyrite, arsenopyrite, galena,
sphalerite, stibnite, gold and possible some Ag bearing minerals, including sulfosalts.
|
| |
|
|
| |
4) |
Rhyolite-hosted disseminated pyrite and sphalerite which has only been identified in some drill-holes from the Knoll
area.
|
| |
|
|

| |
1) |
Payment of $5,000 on signing the letter of intent
|
