Vancouver, British Columbia — December 17, 2025 — Leads & Copy — Lexston Mining Corporation has appointed Buddy Doyle to its newly established Advisory Board. Doyle brings 40 years of mineral exploration experience, including over 23 years at Rio Tinto PLC, where he was Exploration Vice President of Kennecott Canada Exploration Inc., overseeing diamond exploration activities across North America.
Doyle played a role in the Kennecott Exploration Australia team that discovered the multi-million ounce Minifie gold deposits at Lihir during 1987-1988. He also led the team that discovered the Diavik diamond deposits in 1994-1995.

In 2007, he received the Hugo Dummitt Award for excellence in diamond exploration.
