Alexandria Minerals Corporation announce that it has begun a 12,500 meter winter drill program at Orenada Zone 4 and Triangle Too on its western Cadillac Break Properties in Val d'Or, Quebec. Drilling started this week at Zone 4, where the Company has identified multiple, stacked, high-grade gold-quartz veins to a depth of roughly 300 meters. A second rig will begin drilling by early February on the Company's Triangle Too project located 2 kilometers west of Orenada. These are follow-up programs which will build on important earlier-stage drill programs which were completed in the last half of 2016 at both locations. At Zone 4, recent Alexandria drilling has aided in the development of a new geologic model with focus on multiple, south-dipping, high-grade gold-quartz veins hosted within a broad zone of lower grade gold mineralization. Drill holes from recent Alexandria drilling have intersected up to 17.0 g/t gold, including 131.0 g/t gold over 0.4 m, within a broader zone grading 1.43 g/t gold over 158.5 meters. The drill program at Triangle Too is an earlier stage program than that at Zone 4. Alexandria's first-pass drill program late last year provided the Company's first look at the subsurface geology on the project. Six of the seven holes, all shallower than 300 meters, intersected the critical geological ingredients that characterize this region, including gold-quartz veins, diorite plugs, and associated shear zones. The new round of drilling will follow-up by testing deeper on the diorite plugs, as well as drilling new, untested geophysical targets. Alexandria also reported that company geologists have discovered unsampled drill core from pre- Alexandria drill holes at Zone 4, holes which have previously yielded assays similar to those in recent Alexandria drill holes. The Company has embarked on a re-logging and re-sampling campaign of all pre-Alexandria drill holes for which core exists. In addition to providing new assays, this program will also provide greater detail of the high- grade gold veins at Zone 4.
