Alexander Mining plc

('Alexander' or the 'Company')

Progress Report on Licence Agreement with Accudo Metals Pty. Ltd.

Alexander is pleased to announce a progress report on its leaching technologies licence agreement in Australia with Accudo Metals Pty. Ltd. ('Accudo') announced on 25 August 2016.

Accudo has advised Alexander that the initial laboratory hydrometallurgical test work on the AmmLeach® ammonia leaching technology has been completed. The work tested oxide and transitional ore from an Australian copper mine. Whilst the results are still being reviewed in detail, Accudo reports that the AmmLeach® technology successfully leached copper from the ore at good recovery rates. Accudo is reviewing the proposed work programme for a scoping study before proceeding to this stage and expects to make a decision on this in the near future.

Dr Saliba Sassine of Accudo said: 'We are encouraged by the results which were consistent with the AmmLeach® claims and are looking forward to the next stage of testing that will include the broad economic parameters of the technology.'

Martin Rosser, Chief Executive Officer, said: 'We are pleased with the technical test work progress to date and the working relationship established with Accudo.'
