TORONTO, ONTARIO, Apr 30, 2015 (Marketwired via COMTEX) — Alexandria Minerals Corporation (AZX)(frankfurt:A9D)(otc pink:ALXDF) (“Alexandria” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce new high grade assay results in diamond drill hole OAX-15-54 at its Orenada project in Val d’Or, updating previously released results (Press Release April 22, 2015). The updated data expand the earlier reported drilled intersection to 3.14 g/t gold over 27.8 meters, including 17.03 g/t over 3.4m and 131 g/t gold over 0.4m.

These results lengthen the mineralized drill intersection from 111.3 meters grading 1.24 g/t gold to 158.5 meters grading 1.43 g/t gold, and deepen the zone from 282.8 meters downhole to 330.0 meters downhole.

Eric Owens, President and CEO, stated, “These new results lie below past drilling, and open up potential for deeper gold mineralization. We anticipate further positive assay results, which are still pending, from the second hole to test these veins.”

The highlights of the new results are as follows:

Drilling on Orenada Zone 4, part of the Company’s 2,500 meter wintertime drilling program, has focused on the re-interpretation of past drill hole data and underground mapping, resulting in the recognition of flat-lying, high grade veins within the steeply-dipping Cadillac Break shear zone. The shear zone hosts the low-grade, bulk- tonnage Current Resources at Orenada, which were the focus of the 2009 resource estimate (Press Release September 16, 2009).

Borehole OAX-15-054 is the first of two boreholes drilled within the Zone 4 Current Resource envelope (National Instrument 43-101 compliant) to test specifically for high grade veins. It was drilled with a core-orienting system to collect structural data and will be surveyed with optical borehole imaging to confirm the measurements. Assays are pending for the entire second hole.

All technical information presented in this press release has been reviewed by Phillippe Berthelot, P.Geo, who is the Company’s Qualified Person. All exploration work on the property is conducted under the direct supervision of Mr. Berthelot, and the Company adheres to industry best practices consistent with NI 43-101 for its QA/QC program.
