Alexandria Intersects More High Grade Veins at Orenada Within 101.5 m Zone Grading 0.93 g/t Gold

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - May 7, 2015) - Alexandria Minerals Corporation (TSX VENTURE:AZX)(FRANKFURT:A9D)(PINKSHEETS:ALXDF) ("Alexandria" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has intersected 101.5m grading 0.93 g/t gold, including 46.2m grading 1.33g/t gold, 5.92 g/t gold over 1.20 meters, 5.61 g/t gold over 1.00 m and 4.16 g/t gold over 1.00 meters on its Orenada Zone 4 project.

Diamond Drill Hole ("DDH") OAX-15-55, located 100 meters east of previously reported DDH OAX-15-54, is the second of two holes to test for low-angle, high grade gold veins within the Orenada Zone 4 bulk tonnage resource as part of an ongoing re-interpretation of the geology and mineralization there.

Eric Owens, President and CEO, stated, "As the second of the two holes shows, higher grade veins are found within the broad disseminated Zone 4 resources. These results further validate our methods, and will help guide us in the future with our exploration on the project."

The highlights of the new results are as follows:

Drill holes OAX-15-55 and OAX-15-54 were drilled in the upper, near surface portions of the resources and tested for high grade gold veins within the bulk tonnage deposit. The intent of the ongoing re-interpretation is to produce a new resource estimate which will take into account the higher grade vein potential on the project, with special consideration for the deeper areas below the near surface, bulk tonnage resource.

In drilling programs prior to 2009, Alexandria completed several holes below 350 m vertical depth, which generated results such as 8.12 g/t gold over 4.87 meters, 3.24 g/t gold over 10.5 meters, and 3.18 g/t gold over 6.60 meters. Although those intersections were the result of a drilling program targeting the bulk tonnage potential, the data clearly demonstrate the possibility of high grade gold veins.
