NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION OR DISSEMINATION DIRECTLY, OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES.

Alexandria Minerals Corporation (TSX VENTURE:AZX)(FRANKFURT:A9D) is pleased to announce that it has engaged Laurentian Bank Securities Inc. to act as lead agent (the "Agent") on a brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") consisting of an aggregate of up to $2,500,000 Flow-Through Units (the "Flow-Through Units") consisting of "Quebec Flow-Through Units" (the "QFT Unit") and "National Flow-Through Units" (the "NFT Unit") at a price of $0.125 per QFT Unit and $0.115 per NFT Unit.

Each QFT Unit and NFT Unit will consist of one "Flow-Through" common share of the Company and one half of one (1/2) non-transferable common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company (a "Warrant Share") at a price of $0.18 for a period of 18 months from the completion of the Private Placement.

In addition, the Company has granted the Agent an option (the "Over-allotment Option") to sell additional Flow-Through Units equal to up to $1,000,000 exercisable for a period up to 48 hours prior to the Closing Date.

The Company will pay the Agent a cash commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds raised under the Private Placement (including the proceeds of the amount raised upon exercise of the Over-allotment Option, if any). The Agent will also receive "Broker Warrants" " entitling the Agent to purchase that number of common shares equal to 7% of the aggregate number of Flow-Through Units issued by the Company with an exercise price equal to $0.18 per Broker Warrant. Each Broker Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share of the Company and will be exercisable for a period of 18 months from the completion of the Private Placement.

The proceeds from the sale of the Units and FT Units will be used for exploration and drilling on its Cadillac Break property group in Val d'Or, Quebec. Focus will be on step-out drilling on its Akasaba gold-copper project on which it has had considerable success enlarging through drilling throughout recent months.

All securities are subject to a four month hold period commencing from the date of closing. The Private Placement is subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.

In other matters, the company has retained the consulting services of Vincent Marciano ("Marciano") to provide newsletter writing and dissemination for a period of one year. Compensation to Marciano for these services includes payment of $1,500USD per month from April 2013 to September 2013 and, subject to approval by the Toronto Stock Venture Exchange (TSXV), issuance of 150,000 incentive stock options at an exercise price of $0.18, expiring on December 31, 2014.
