TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Aug. 27, 2014) - Alexandria Minerals Corporation (TSX VENTURE:AZX)(FRANKFURT:A9D)(PINKSHEETS:ALXDF) is pleased to announce its financial results for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014 with a net income of $995,348 compared with a loss of $1,300,038 for the same period of fiscal 2013, and a Working Capital position of $4.7 million at April 30, 2014 compared to $1.7 million for the comparative period in 2013.

During the year, the Company undertook the following significant activities on its 35 km long Cadillac Break property package in Val d'Or, Quebec:

  • Sold the West Zone gold-copper property to Agnico Eagle Mines Limited for $5 million, thereby realizing a gain of $3.0 million on this disposition; an Alexandria discovery, the West Zone property comprised less than 2% of Alexandria's total property package and may become Quebec's next open pit mine;
  • Completed a $1 million hard-dollar equity financing at a 300% premium to market;
  • Incurred $2,857,545 in gross exploration expenditures during the year;
  • Completed a 29 hole, 9,368m drilling program on Akasaba and Valdora, beginning its first significant step-out drilling with the objective of discovering further Akasaba-like gold and gold-copper mineralization on its properties;
  • Completed a 10 hole, 4,291 m drill program on its Sleepy project aimed at adding to the Current Resources at Sleepy;
  • Completed three surface geophysical surveys (Induced Polarization, or "IP") covering a total of 18 square km over 1) its Akasaba and Valdora properties, 2) its Ducros, Oramaque, and Orenada properties, and 3) its Annamaque property, which yielded strong drill targets over the western half of the Company's property package
  • Completed a downhole IP survey below the Current Resources at Akasaba, which also yielded strong drill targets at depth.

Eric Owens, President and CEO, said: "Alexandria had a very important year in FY 2014, and a truly positive one. Management carefully navigated difficult waters, and together with its technical team, has set the stage for the Company's future growth and performance. We look forward to the results of our current drilling activities, which are testing targets generated during that time."

The Company is currently in the middle of a 10,000 m drill program on its Akasaba property, testing geological and geophysical targets below the Current Resources along the main Akasaba Mine trend, and along strike to the east of the Akasaba Mine.

Work also continues on target selection from both the Annamaque and Ducros-Oramaque-Orenada IP surveys. The Company has re-sampled historic drill holes at Ducros as part of its preparation for an upcoming 2,600 m drill program there. Assay results are pending for 10 Akasaba holes.

In other matters, the Company has issued to an executive options to purchase 250,000 shares at an exercise price of 10 cents, expiring in 5 years. These options will vest immediately.
