Alexandria Drills New Gold-Copper Zone Intersecting 1.3% Copper, 0.70 g/t Gold, and 17.3 g/t Silver over 4.0 Meters at Val d'Or


TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - June 4, 2015) - Alexandria Minerals Corporation (TSX VENTURE:AZX)(FRANKFURT:A9D)(OTC PINK:ALXDF) ("Alexandria" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of drilling a new target 500 m northeast of its Orenada gold project, where it has intersected 23.1 meters grading 0.45 g/t gold, 0.59% copper and 8.35 g/t silver, including 4 meters 0.7 g/t gold, 1.3% copper and 17.3 g/t silver in drill hole OAX-15-056.

Diamond Drill Hole OAX-15-056 tested the western end of a 1.5 km long magnetic anomaly as part of the Company's intrusion-related, porphyry gold-copper exploration program on its Cadillac Break Property in Val d'Or, Quebec.

Eric Owens, President and CEO, stated, "These are very encouraging first results from this zone. We are optimistic about the implications for future potential given that we are early in this exploration program which covers the western 15 km of our Cadillac Break Property."

The holes are the first modern drill holes to test this magnetic anomaly located in the southern part of the volcanic belt. Past drill holes dating from the 1930's identify a 400m long open copper-gold zone coincident with the magnetic trend:

OR-34 A: 26.5 meters grading 0.9% copper and 1.00 g/t gold

OR-40 A: 16.8 meters grading 1.2% copper and 2.40 g/t gold

OR-32 A: 19.8 meters grading 0.55% copper and 0.67 g/t gold

ORL-06: 3.1 meters grading 1.7% copper and 0.57 g/t gold

Alexandria began its porphyry- and intrusion-related gold-copper exploration program following its 2010-2012 drill program on its Akasaba project, which resulted in the discovery of the West Zone, a 60 meter wide by 400 meter long, near-surface, bulk tonnage Inferred Resource containing 14 million tonnes grading 0.7 g/t gold and 0.4% copper (See AZX Press Release, February 7, 2013). Alexandria sold this resource to Agnico Eagle Mines, Ltd. in early 2014.

Widespread alteration occurs in and around two felsic or alkalic intrusions, over much of the western half of the Company's 35 km (25 mile) long Cadillac Break Property package near Val d'Or, Quebec. This alteration, which is dominated by magnetite and calc-silicates, is also associated with gold, copper, molybdenum and base metal mines, occurrences and prospects, many of which are distributed within the contact zones around the intrusions.

Alexandria has identified a number of gold-copper trends within this geological environment, and will continue its efforts to more fully define these zones through geophysics and geochemistry to aid in drill hole targeting.
