(TSXV: LXM) (“Lux” or the “Company“) is pleased to provide an update on exploration activities at its flagship La Grande Gold Project (the “Project“) in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Québec and planned next steps. The Company is drilling at Zone 32, as the first step in a work program that is intended to lead to a first mineral resource estimate for the Project.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Building on historical work completed on the La Grande Project, the Company commenced drilling at Zone 32 on August 25, 2026. On October 14, 2026, the Company reported assay results from the first hole of the program, LG26-241, which intersected 17.57 g/t Au over 19.50 metres (see news release dated October 14, 2026). The current program is designed to confirm historical results, increase drill density, and test extensions of Zone 32 and nearby structures. The Company expects to complete the current program by the end of October 2026 and will report assay results once they have been received and validated. A geophysical survey is also planned to refine targets elsewhere on the Project. While near-term efforts remain focused on Zone 32 and the surrounding area, the Company believes other areas of the Project warrant further evaluation. The historical drilling results referred to in this news release have not been verified by a qualified person on behalf of the Company and should not be relied upon until they have been confirmed.Get the latest headlines, breaking news and columns.By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.A welcome email is on its way.

Each step in our program is designed to advance the Project toward our objective of a first mineral resource estimate.”This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Following the current drill program, the Company’s planned work programs through the end of 2027 are envisaged to include (but are not limited to): (i) a ground geophysical survey planned for this winter; (ii) validation of the historical drill database; (iii) re-modelling of Zone 32 together with nearby mineralized structures, including an evaluation of lower-grade tonalite-hosted mineralization in light of current cut-off grade assumptions, which differ significantly from those applied when historical drilling was completed; and (iv) a follow-up drill program in 2027 to test the targets refined by this work. Together, these steps are intended to support the Company’s objective of completing a first mineral resource estimate for the Project, which it is targeting for the end of 2027. There is no certainty that the work program will result in the delineation of a mineral resource.To fund the planned work program described above, the Company is evaluating a potential financing of up to approximately $7 million, which may comprise a combination of flow-through and non-flow-through securities and which could be undertaken as early as the fourth quarter of 2026. The Company’s board of directors (the “Board“) has not approved any financing, and no terms, structure or timing have been determined. Any financing would be subject to approval by the Board and the TSX Venture Exchange, and there can be no assurance that any financing will be completed on the terms described or at all.This advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.About Lux Metals Corp.Lux Metals Corp.
