VANCOUVER, Jan. 23, 2012 /CNW/ - Jaxon Minerals Inc. (the "Company" or "Jaxon") is pleased to announce that it has added by option, five mineral claims to the Lucille Lake Block located in the famous Flin Flon-Snow Lake volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) and gold deposit Greenstone Belt in Manitoba.

Copper Reef Mining Corporation ("CRM"), Flin Flon, Manitoba and Jaxon have agreed to an Option Agreement on 994 hectares of mineral rights which brings the area of Jaxon's strategically located Lucille Lake Block to a total of 2,976 hectares. This property in central Manitoba is accessible by road and winter trail and is in a region being actively explored by Callinan Mines, Copper Reef and others. Jaxon expects to conduct exploration in 2012 on all three of its properties (October 21, 2011, Jaxon Press Release #11-04) and is making application for diamond drilling of priority geophysical targets and mineral showings.

Details of the Option Agreement are as follows:
