Placement

The Placement will result in the issue of a total of 18 million fully paid ordinary shares ("Shares") at an issue price of $0.35 per Share. New Shares issued under the Placement will rank equally with the Company's existing fully paid ordinary Shares.

The Placement issue price was at a 14.6% discount to the last closing Share price of LEX (on 5 November 2021) and a 11.4% discount to the 5-day VWAP of LEX shares. The Placement was taken up by new domestic and overseas institutions and sophisticated investors as well as existing Shareholders. The Company advises that Directors of the Company have committed to participate in the Placement for a total of $300,000. This will be subject to Shareholder approval at the Company's next General Meeting of Shareholders

The proceeds of the Placement will be used to accelerate exploration at the Company's 100% owned Eastern Lefroy Gold Project and for general working capital purposes. The principal and immediate focus of the Company is at the exciting and unique Burns copper gold system where recent exploration involving drilling and geophysics has expanded the mineralised footprint to 3000m in length. The next stage of exploration at Burns is about to get underway to test the limits of the system beneath the large area of Lake Randall. A specialised lake drilling rig has been secured to evaluate multiple target areas, including the priority Lovejoy area, located 2000m north of Burns.

LEX Chairman, Mr Gordon Galt stated, "We acknowledge the ongoing support of existing shareholders and are pleased to welcome new shareholders. We are now funded to undertake extensive exploration activities in the Eastern Lefroy Gold Project and in particular around the Burns Project. Together with the committed exploration program in the western portion of the Lefroy Gold Project through our JV with Gold Fields, we anticipate significant ongoing news flow on the Company's projects."

The Placement of 18 million Shares is being undertaken under the Company's existing ASX Listing Rule 7.1. placement capacity. Settlement of the Placement is expected to take place on or around Tuesday, 16th November 2021, with quotation of the new Shares expected to occur on Wednesday, 17th November 2021. Director's subscriptions to the Placement are subject to shareholder approval at the next General Meeting of the Company.
