NEWS RELEASE

Lexaria Announces Well Recompletion

Kelowna, BC—October 3, 2013 - Lexaria Corp (LXRP-OTCQB) (LXX-CNSX) (the "Company" or "Lexaria") is pleased to report that work is scheduled to begin next week on a recompletion procedure of the 12-4 well located at Belmont Lake, Mississippi.

If successful, this recompletion is designed to replicate, as much as is possible, the success enjoyed in May of 2012 when two older wells in the field were similarly recompleted. That work resulted in the highest oil production rates ever recorded at Belmont Lake oil field.

Recompletion of this 12-4 well includes new perforations; new gravel-pack and sand screens and gas lift valves as well as a new packer and tubing. It resembles a brand-new well in many ways.

When the 12-4 well was originally completed and placed on production in October 2010, it produced 200 barrels of oil per day for the first ten days of production. The production rate declined fairly rapidly and this decline may have been caused by the migration of fine sands into the gravel pack that subsequently restricted the flow of oil. It is hoped that the recompletion will mitigate that problem in whole or in part.

Timing of field work is always subject to a number of conditions beyond our control, however the Company expects the reworked 12-4 well to be completed and back into production before the end of October. The Company will provide additional updates as the work is underway.

Lexaria owns a 50% working interest in the 12-4 well.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This release includes forward-looking statements. Statements which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. The Company makes forward-looking public statements concerning its expected future financial position, results of operations, cash flows, financing plans, business strategy, products and services, competitive positions, growth opportunities, plans and objectives of management for future operations, including statements that include words such as "anticipate," "if," "believe," "plan," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "could," "should," "will," and other similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are estimates reflecting the Company's best judgment based upon current information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that other factors will not affect the accuracy of such forward-looking statements. It is impossible to identify all such factors but they include and are not limited to the existence of underground deposits of commercial quantities of oil and gas; cessation or delays in exploration because of mechanical, weather, operating, financial or other problems; capital expenditures that are higher than anticipated; or exploration opportunities being fewer than currently anticipated. There can be no assurance that road or site conditions will be favorable for field work; no assurance that well treatments or workovers will have any effect on oil or gas production; no assurance that oil field interconnections will have any measurable impact on oil or gas production or on field operations, and no assurance that any expected new well(s) will be drilled or have any impact on the Company. There can be no assurance that expected oil and gas production will actually materialize; and thus no assurance that expected revenue will actually occur. There is no assurance the Company will have sufficient funds to drill additional wells, or to complete acquisitions or other business transactions. Such forward looking statements also include estimated cash flows, revenue and current and/or future rates of production of oil and natural gas, which can and will fluctuate for a variety of reasons; oil and gas reserve quantities produced by third parties; and intentions to participate in future exploration drilling. Adverse weather conditions including but not limited to surface flooding can delay operations, impact production, and cause reductions in revenue. The Company may not have sufficient expertise to thoroughly exploit its oil and gas properties. The Company may not have sufficient funding to thoroughly explore, drill or develop its properties. Access to capital, or lack thereof, is a major risk and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise required working capital. Current oil and gas production rates may not be sustainable and targeted production rates may not occur. Factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated by the Company include, but are not limited to, government regulation, managing and maintaining growth, the effect of adverse publicity, litigation, competition and other factors which may be identified from time to time in the Company's public announcements and filings. There is no assurance that the reworking of the 12-4 oil well will be successful or lead to any improvement in oil production.
