NEWS RELEASE

FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS
NEVADA TRANSACTION WITH RUBICON CLOSED

(All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars.)

Toronto, May 25, 2007 LEXAM EXPLORATIONS INC. (TSX-V: LEX) is pleased to announce financial results for the first quarter 2007 and the closing of the Nevada property exchange to Rubicon Minerals (AMEX:RBY & TSX:RMX). This transaction has considerably strengthened the Company’s financial position.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

During the quarter Lexam increased the level of exploration expenditures at its Baca Oil and Gas Project in south-central Colorado in order to advance the project towards potential drilling.

A 25 square mile 3D seismic survey over the natural gas targets was completed in order to confirm and better define the deep gas targets that had been identified through the use of extensive 2D seismic and to identify new potential targets areas. The 3D seismic data analysis and interpretation is nearly complete and the results are expected to be released in early June versus mid-May as previously announced by the Company. This
is due to additional work Lexam has initiated to improve the reliability of the data interpretation and Company’s confidence in the drill targets.

Due to the increased level of exploration, Lexam’s incurred a loss of $1,634,693 ($0.03 per share) during the first quarter versus a loss of $135,830 ($0.00 per share) for the same period, 2006.

At the end of the first quarter Lexam had working capital of $1.9 million compared to working capital of $3.6 million at December 31, 2006. Lexam’s working capital at the end of the first quarter did not include the proceeds from the Nevada property sale to Rubicon Minerals or the proceeds to be received from the sale of the Jason base metal property in the Yukon.

NEVADA PROPERTIES EXCHANGE CLOSED
8.6 Million Rubicon Shares Received

On February 26, 2007 Lexam announced it had entered into an agreement with Rubicon Minerals to sell its 225,000 acres of mineral rights for approximately 8,571,000 common shares of Rubicon. The transaction was designed to position Rubicon as one of North America’s most exciting gold exploration companies.

Lexam’s objective when selling these properties was 1) Finance its current exploration activities and minimize future shareholder dilution and 2) Focus the Company on energy exploration that could deliver significant returns for shareholders if a discovery is made. Lexam believed that by selling these properties and receiving shares versus cash, its Rubicon holdings would experience an appreciation in value and better position the
Company financially. When the transaction was announced Lexam’s Rubicon shares had a market value of $0.70. In only three months the Rubicon shares have increased to $2.02 (May 24, 2007 closing price).

BACA OIL & GAS – COLORADO

On May 24, 2007, Lexam was notified that the San Luis Valley Ecosystem Council (SLVEC) had filed and served a Complaint against the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) in Federal District Court in Colorado. The SLVEC claims that the USFWS has not complied with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in connection with certain exploration activities carried out and proposed by Lexam on the Baca Oil & Gas Project.

To date, Lexam has been in full compliance with all environmental laws and regulations as setout by the State of Colorado and the USFWS in connection with the Baca Oil and Gas Project and will continue to operate within their stated guidelines. Should the SLVEC Complaint against the USFWS succeed, Lexam may need to comply with additional environmental guidelines as required under NEPA before further exploration
work could begin.
