FINANCIAL RESULTS

First Quarter - 2009

For the three months ending March 31, 2009, Lexam reported a loss of $130,225 ($0.00 per share) compared with a gain of $69,875 ($0.00 per share) for the respective period in 2008. The gain in 2008 was the result of a foreign exchange gain offset by a loss on sale of available-for-sale securities.

The loss during the first quarter of this year was due to permitting and legal expenses associated with the Baca Oil and Gas Project ($0.1 million) and administrative expenses ($0.1 million).

At the end of the first quarter Lexam had a working capital of $11.8 million, compared with working capital of $9.6 million at the end of 2008.

Correction of Financial Results from Q4 2008

On April 27, 2009, Lexam issued its financial results in a news release for the fourth quarter of 2008. In that release, due to an arithmetic error, Lexam incorrectly reported net loss for the fourth quarter of 2008 of $817,223 ($0.02 per share) and net income for the fourth quarter of 2007 of $3,351,205 ($0.07 per share). The net loss for the fourth quarter of 2008 and net income for the fourth quarter of 2007 should have been $3,440,742 ($0.07 per share) and $1,245,904 ($0.03 per share), respectively. The full year net income/loss figures were correct as originally reported.
