The Airport property lies immediately south of Kalahari's Lamaque property, which hosts a number of gold-bearing targets including the #10 Zone and #4 Plug combined, which contain a National Instrument 43-101 compliant Inferred Resource of 1.37 million tons grading 0.186 oz/ton (see Kalahari Press Release, October 20, 2004), principally in high grade veins. The terms of the agreement with Kalahari for the Airport claim include a payment of $25,000 cash to Alexandria and the issuance of 500,000 Kalahari shares to Alexandria over a period of twelve months, as well as incurring $35,000 in exploration expenditures over a period of 24 months. Alexandria retains a 2% NSR, one half of which may be purchased for $1,000,000.
