RUBICON MINERALS INVESTMENT

Red Lake, Ontario, Canada

At June 30, 2010 Lexam's investment in Rubicon had a market value of $2.7 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2010 Lexam sold its remaining 0.7 million shares in Rubicon for proceeds of $3 million, yielding a pre-tax gain of $1.5 million.

It is important to note that Lexam has net taxes payable in relation to these shares based on Rubicon's share price at the time they were received (US$2.00 per share). Therefore, Lexam is only required to pay capital gains on sales that exceed US$2.00 per share (For example, if a share is sold for $4.50 capital gains would only be applied to amount that exceeded $2.00. In this example the taxable amount would be $2.50).

BACA OIL & GAS PROJECT

Colorado, USA

The Baca Oil and Gas Project is located in south-central Colorado, USA. The Company owns 75% of the oil and gas rights. The remaining 25% is owned by ConocoPhillips.

During the Fourth Quarter of 2008, the Company announced that the United States Fish and Wildlife Service ("USFWS") had issued a Finding of No Significant Impact ("FONSI"). The USFWS' decision was reached based on the results of an Environmental Assessment ("EA") conducted by the Service under the National Environmental Policy Act ("NEPA"). The USFWS environmental review process lasted 15 months and involved extensive public meetings, participation, and comment by all interested parties. This decision by the USFWS was the final approval required before the Company could move forward with its planned exploration for oil and gas.

The Baca Project has been consistently challenged by opposition groups and on November 3, 2008 the San Luis Valley Ecosystem Council ("SLVEC") made a motion to reopen litigation against the USFWS.

The SLVEC maintains that USFWS decision to issue a FONSI based on the EA does not comply with NEPA.

During the First Quarter of 2009, the District Court of Colorado ordered that the motion to reopen litigation against the USFWS be allowed to proceed. A Preliminary Injunction Hearing was held on May 20, 2009.

On September 4, 2009 the Company announced that the Federal District Court granted the SLVEC Motion for a Preliminary Injunction against the USFWS. This decision prohibits any exploration drilling by the Company until a final ruling is reached in the litigation.

On November 17, 2009 the parties to the litigation attended a court mandated Settlement Conference. On January 15, 2010 a second Settlement Conference was held to discuss a potential settlement terms and to set a briefing schedule should the settlement be unsuccessful.

The Company previously extended an offer to sell its mineral interests underlying the Baca National Wildlife Refuge and surrounding areas for cash consideration of approximately US$8,400,000. The purchase price offered by the Company represented a settlement proposal to resolve pending litigation and did not represent management's valuation of the Company's mineral interest on the Baca property. This offer was not accepted by June 11, 2010, which was the deadline for a response. No settlement discussions have occurred since that time. The Company has agreed to participate in a process to prepare a new document in compliance with the U.S. National Environmental Policy Act ("NEPA"). The new NEPA document is being prepared by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and is scheduled to be completed by April 2011. The Company plans to proceed with the exploration program later that year.
