In late 2009, Alexandria issued its first resource estimate (NI 43-101 compliant) at Orenada, focusing on the shallow, open pit potential of the project hosted within the Cadillac Break shear zone. However, past underground mapping at Orenada, which has a 1,000 foot shaft and two exploration drifts, has indicated the presence and importance of relatively flat-lying gold veins within the broad shear zone. These higher grade veins within the broadly disseminated gold zone could be important for the deeper parts of the gold zone below the shallow, potentially open pit mineralization.

Hole OAX-15-054 was the first of two boreholes drilled within the Zone 4 2009 NI 43-101 resource envelope to test the new model. 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 part of the first hole and all of the 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.
