TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Oct. 15, 2009) - Alexandria Minerals Corporation (TSX VENTURE:AZX)(FRANKFURT:A9D) reports that it has agreed to participate jointly with Niogold Mining Corporation on the addition of four claims adjacent to its Siscoe East Property in Val d'Or, Quebec.

The four claims lie within the area of influence governed by the Option and Joint Venture agreement between Niogold and Alexandria, on which Niogold is earning a 50% interest in the 93 claims comprising Alexandria's Siscoe East Property, which lies between and around the past-producing Siscoe and Sullivan Mines. Alexandria will meet its commitment to maintain its 50% interest in these claims by paying to Niogold $15,000 cash and 120,000 shares of Alexandria treasury stock.

The newly added claims surround the Sullivan Mine property, which produced some 1.2 million ounces of gold during the 1900's from five veins which trend northwest onto Alexandria's property, and which was mined underground to a depth of 1.6 km, at a grade of 7.7 g/t Au. In a first round of drilling by Niogold, drill hole SE-09-004 intersected 43.67 g/t Au over 1.3 m at 412 m downhole, interpreted as a possible northwest extension of the Sullivan Zone (Alexandria Press Release, August 7, 2009).

The results presented in this press release are exploratory in nature and have been reviewed by the company's Qualified Person, Dr. Eric Owens, PGeo. There is no Current Resource on this property as defined by NI 43-101, and there is no guarantee that an economic gold deposit underlies the properties. More work by an independent Qualified Person ("QP") will be required in order to bring the properties into compliance with resource definitions in NI 43-101.
