Board to Assess Strategic
Alternatives
TORONTO, Dec. 20, 2017
(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Alexandria Minerals
Corporation (TSX-V:AZX)
(OTCQB:ALXDF)
(Frankfurt:A9D) (“AZX”
or the “Company”)
announced today that, at a
meeting of its Board of
Directors held on December
19, 2017, the mandate of a
Special Committee of the
Board was finalized. The
Special Committee, which was
formed on December 15, 2017,

Henry, Chair, Priya Patil
and Gary O’Connor. The
Special Committee has been
tasked with examining
strategic alternatives for
the Company which include
evaluating and implementing
financing alternatives,
considering possible joint
venture and other strategic
transactions, and assessing
potential merger and
acquisition proposals.
Walter Henry, Chairman of
the Special Committee, said,
“There is a fair amount of
speculation about the
Company at the present time
and we are expecting
geological updates within
the next 60 days. This
is an opportune time for us
to start an open and
transparent process to
determine how we, as a
board, can best be
responsive to shareholder
expectations, and to choose
the best path for the
Company moving forward.”
There is no defined timeline
for the strategic review.
The review of strategic
alternatives may result in a
variety of outcomes or no
outcome and there can be no
assurance that the Company
will pursue or execute any
specific action or
transaction. The Company
does not intend to make any
further announcements or
comments regarding the
review of strategic
alternatives unless required
by law.
In other matters, Eric
Owens, President and CEO, in
his annual year-end review,
stated, “We have made
tremendous progress this
year finding gold,
completing 45,000 metres of
drilling and expanding our
Orenada Zone 4 gold deposit.
We expect even greater
progress in 2018 as we
complete our resource update
and build on that with a
larger planned 60,000 m
drill program.”

Alexandria Intersects 52.83 g/t
Gold Over 4.55 m Orenada Zone 4,
Continues to Define and Expand
Gold Mineralization at Shallow
Levels
TORONTO, Dec. 05, 2017 (GLOBE
NEWSWIRE) -- Alexandria Minerals
Corporation (TSX-V:AZX)
(OTCQB:ALXDF) (Frankfurt:A9D) (“AZX”
or the “Company”)
is pleased to announce the
results from 10 shallow in-fill
diamond drill holes covering 300
m of strike length at Orenada
Zone 4, part of the ongoing
exploration program leading to
an updated Resource Estimate in
the first quarter of next year.
Highlights
- Diamond Drill Hole OAX-17-210,
located just east of the
open pit at Zone 4,
intersected 52.83
g/t gold over 4.55 m (uncut),
including one of the highest
gold assays ever at Zone 4, 366
g/t gold over 0.65 m,
and separately, 4.30
g/t gold over 5.95 m,
including 18.36
g/t gold over 0.95 m;
- DDH OAX-17-206,
on the same section as
OAX-17-210, intersected 2.27
g/t gold over 68.85 m,
between 96 and 165 m
downhole, including 8.96
g/t over 3.75 m and 5.19
g/t gold over 6.70 m;
- Beneath the open pit,
six holes further verified
the expansion of gold
mineralization downward below the
2009 resource limits, as
shown by DDH
OAX-17-183, which
intersected 6.59
g/t gold over 8.60 m,
part of a wider intersection
grading 1.12
g/t gold over 72.10 m;
- These results continue
to confirm the presence and
continuity of gold
mineralization at shallow
depths at Zone 4, as well as
expanding mineralization
beyond the pre-existing
resources.
Eric Owens, President and CEO of
Alexandria, stated, “Our drill
holes continue to yield great
assay results, including one of
the highest assays yet at Zone 4
of 366 g/t gold over 0.65 m. The
results are providing us with
greater confidence and detail
for our upcoming resource
estimate. As follow-up to the
expected resource estimate early
in the New Year, we are planning
a wider-scale 2018 drill program
which will build on the success
of our summer drill program by
expanding both the number of
drill rigs as well as the target
area, to cover more than 5 km of
targets.”
The upcoming resource estimate
will build upon the Current
Resources, previously calculated
in 2009 (see Press Release,
September 16, 2009), based on a
new geological model which
incorporates a previously
unrecognized suite of flat-lying
gold veins and their importance
to the grade of the deposit.
Alexandria’s drill program in
2017 has been centred around the
2009 Resources at Orenada Zone 4
and Zone 2, with focus on a 1.1
km-long stretch of gold-bearing
Cadillac Break. The drill
program has successfully
enlarged the footprint of gold
mineralization along strike from
400 m to its present length of
more than 1,100 m. For the new
resource update, 170 holes have
been completed for 45,358 meters
at Zone 4 and Zone 2. Assay
results are still pending for 40
drill holes.
Next Steps:
Geological and resource
modelling continues, with new
data added as they are received,
with expectations of a new
resource update for Zone 4 and
Zone 2 in Q1, 2018. Planning is
also underway for the next stage
drilling program: a multi-rig,
60,000 m program for 2018 to
focus on new targets along a 5
km trend to the west of the Zone
4 open pit. This will be a
phased drill program beginning
in the New Year testing targets
that have the best potential for
growing the shallow gold
resources at Orenada.

Alexandria Minerals Corporation
Drills 8.56 g/t Gold over 17.50 m at
24.8 Metres Depth; Continues to
Expand Shallow Gold Mineralization
at Orenada Zone 4
TORONTO, Oct. 26, 2017 (GLOBE
NEWSWIRE) -- Alexandria Minerals
Corporation (TSX-V:AZX)
(OTCQB:ALXDF) (Frankfurt:A9D) (“AZX”
or the “Company”)
is pleased to announce the assay
results from 10 holes completed in
its detailed summer drill program at
Orenada Zone 4 near Val d’Or,
Quebec. The reported results further
confirm robust gold mineralization
east of the Zone 4 open pit over a
250m strike length. These
results, once again, expand high
grade gold mineralization east
beyond the limits of the 2009
resource estimate.
Highlights
- Diamond Drill Hole OAX-17-168,
located 330m east of the open
pit, intersected two major high
grade zones: 8.56
g/t gold over 17.50m from
24.80m to 43.20m downhole
(including 31.2
g/t gold over 3.2m, which
includes 80.70
g/t gold over 1.00m)
and a second intersection of 4.28
g/t gold over 35.70mbetween
223.30m and 259.00m (including 7.10
g/t gold over 16.20m),
expanding high-grade veins well
beyond the former 2009 resource
limits;
- Together with OAX-17-170,
also located on the same
section, which intersected 1.65
g/t gold over 95.00m,
the results show the potential
growth of the gold deposit at
Zone 4;
- Hole OAX-17-156, located
roughly 250m west of DDH
OAX-17-168, but still east of
the open pit, intersected 2.65
g/t gold over 47.15m between
189.20m and 236.35m, part of a
broader intersection grading 1.65
g/t gold over 131.50m,
in-fill results that confirm a
robust core below and east of
the open pit.
- In-fill holes OAX-17-160
intersected 3.35
g/t gold over 11.00m,
and 1.52
g/t gold over 33.45m part
of a larger zone grading 0.98
g/t gold over 127.5m; and
OAX-17-162 intersected 42.50m
grading 1.06 g/t gold:
these holes located 60 m west of
OAX-17-168 provide confirmation
of continuity of gold
mineralization.
Eric Owens, President and CEO of
Alexandria, stated, “These exciting
results emphasize potential for both
growth and grade at Zone 4. We are
finding a very robust core area that
extends 1,100 metres along strike,
down to 300 metres at depth and
continues to be open in all
directions. Our ongoing geologic and
resource modelling efforts are being
confirmed and strengthened as
results come in. With assay results
pending for 70 holes, we expect
further great results for the rest
of the year.”
Current Resources compliant with
National Instrument 43-101 at
Orenada were originally estimated in
2009 for the upper 250 metres, at
Zone 4 and Zone 2 (see Press
Release, September 16, 2009).
Alexandria’s 45,000 metre drill
program in 2017 has intersected the
gold vein system for more than 2.5
km along strike, centered around the
Zone 4 open pit, an increase in
strike length of more than 300% over
the previously known dimensions. A
new resource estimate is expected by
January 2018.
Gold mineralization remains open
along strike – to the east and west
– as well as at depth. New drill
targets are being evaluated in these
directions, in anticipation of an
active next phase drill program.
Next Steps:
Focus continues to be on wrapping up
the processing of the remaining core
from 70 drill holes from the summer
program, and ongoing geologic and
resource modelling, with the aim of
incorporating this information into
a new resource estimate by January
2018.
