Lexington Gold Ltd

("Lexington Gold" or the "Company")

New Prospecting Right Granted - Bothaville Project, South Africa

Lexington Gold (AIM: LEX; OTCQB: LEXLF), the gold exploration and development company with projects in South Africa and the USA, is pleased to announce that its South African subsidiary, Reef Exploration (Pty) Ltd ("Reef Exploration"), has been granted a new consolidated Prospecting Right in respect of the group's Bothaville Project, located in the Free State Province, South Africa.

Highlights:

·    The new Prospecting Right (Ref: FS 30/5/1/1/2/10695 PR), has been granted to Reef Exploration by the South African Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources (DMPR) for a period of approximately 5 years, being valid until 7 May 2030, and will then be renewable for another 3 years.

·    This new right consolidates and supersedes the previous Bothaville licences formerly held by White Rivers Exploration (Pty) Ltd, thereby streamlining the Company's tenure and permitting structure.

·    A maiden JORC (2012) Exploration Target was established in 2025 over the licence area concerned, comprising 16 - 30 million tonnes at a grade of 3.26 - 6.03 g/t Au, representing a potential 1.68 - 5.82 million ounces of contained gold.

·    The new consolidated right covers an area of 18,627.2 hectares, encompassing the same acreage previously held under the two separate Bothaville licences, and is situated within the world-renowned Witwatersrand Basin, one of the most prolific gold-producing regions globally.

Dr Bernard Olivier, CEO of Lexington Gold, commented:

"We are pleased to confirm this formal grant of a new consolidated Prospecting Right for the Bothaville Project to our South African subsidiary, Reef Exploration. This represents an important milestone in retaining and advancing this high potential gold exploration asset which has an existing JORC-compliant Exploration Target of up to 5.82 million ounces as established in early 2025."
