TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - April 4, 2017) -

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)(OTCQB:ALXDF)(FRANKFURT:A9D) ("AZX" or the "Company") announces a non-brokered equity private placement (the "Financing") in the Company for gross proceeds of $2,500,000. As part of the Financing, the Company is pleased to announce that it has been informed that Eric Sprott (or his designated nominee) has agreed to participate in the Financing.

The Financing will consist of up to 41,666,666 units ("Units") at a price of $0.06 per Unit, where each Unit will be comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant ("Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder, on exercise, to acquire one common share at an exercise price of $0.09 for a period of 24 months. All securities issued under the Financing will be subject to a four-month hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws.

The proceeds from this transaction will be used for exploration on the Company's flagship Orenada gold project in Val d'Or, Quebec, as well as for general corporate purposes. Recent high grade gold assays at Orenada have been encouraging, leading management to ramp up activities in its efforts there.

In addition, finder's fees shall be paid in the amount of up to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Financing and 6% finder's warrants, with each such warrant exercisable to acquire one common share at a price of $0.06 for 24 months. The Financing is anticipated to close on April 10, 2017. The Financing remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
