Alexandria Minerals Corporation announced the assay results from the first fourteen diamond drill holes from its 2017 program at Zone 2 on the Company's Orenada property in Val D'Or, Quebec. For the 2017 program the company drilled 27 holes for 8,150 m on Zone 2 and the results from the first fourteen in-fill and step-out drill holes are included. The drilling at Orenada 2 was conducted to test the strike extensions and to infill the current resource footprint to confirm the new geological interpretation and grade continuity. Highlights: Drill hole OAX-17-201 extended the mineralized zone to the west of the previous resource (2009) by 100 m (section 540E) with intersections of up to: 19.50 metres (m) @ 3.79 g/t Gold (Au), including 8.50 m @ 5.12 g/t Au and 10.50 m @ 3.16 g/t Au; the results from infill holes confirmed gold mineralization continuity for Orenada Zone 2 with intersections of up to: 10.30 m @ 3.62 g/t Au (OAX-17-199), 5.60 m @ 5.57 g/t Au (OAX-17-230), and 20.70 m @ 1.15 g/t Au and 5.90 m @ 6.29 g/t Au (OAX-17-211) all within 300 m of surface; the drill program extended the gold bearing quartz-tourmaline veins up to 400 m strike extent, 100 m more than previously drilled at Orenada Zone 2; Drilling confirmed the presence of four main sub-parallel and sub-vertical gold mineralized envelopes to the veins with widths ranging from 2.00m to 15.00m, over a strike length of 400 m and to depths of 400 m. Alexandria completed 43,500 m of drilling over the past 14 months in 170 drill holes for the new updated resource estimate, focusing on the stacked vein sets at Orenada Zone 4 and the sub-vertical vein system at Orenada Zone 2. Orenada Zone 2 is located 400 m east of Orenada Zone 4. The drill program has now successfully enlarged the footprint of gold mineralization to more than 2,400 m in strike length. The extent to which the infill drilling and new geological interpretation using more geological controls will affect the grade and size of the resource will be confirmed with the new estimate. The fourteen newly released drill holes from Orenada Zone 2 are to be used for the new resource estimate update currently being completed. The gold mineralization in Zone 2 is hosted in quartz- tourmaline veins and large tourmaline alteration zones, similar to the mineralization at Orenada Zone 4 but steeper. The alteration zones and gold-bearing veins occur in the schistose sediment unit as well as in the adjacent tuff unit. The majority of the quartz-tourmaline veins are oriented sub-parallel to the vertical schistosity while the remaining veins are sub-horizontal and cross cut the schistosity. The drilling has defined four large sub-parallel and sub-vertical gold envelopes oblique to the schistosity which have a strike length of over 400 m. These envelopes range in thickness from 2.00 m to 15.00 m and the zones were intersected to 400 m vertical depth.
