Alexandria Announces $1,820,000 Equity Investment by Agnico-Eagle Mines Limited
Toronto, Ontario – March 23, 2010 – Alexandria Minerals Corporation (TSX-V: AZX; Frankfurt: A9D) is pleased to announce that it has closed a 9,100,000 unit (“Unit”) investment (the “Investment”) by Agnico-Eagle Mines Limited (“Agnico-Eagle”), at a price of $0.20 per Unit, for an Investment of $1,820,000, amounting to an approximate 9.9% basic equity stake in Alexandria Minerals.
“We are excited to have Agnico-Eagle as our largest shareholder,” said Eric Owens, President and CEO of Alexandria Minerals. “Agnico-Eagle is a successful gold miner and the heart of its operations is close to us in the Val d'Or area. Its investment at a premium is a powerful endorsement of the potential of our projects, and we look forward to initiating our relationship with Agnico-Eagle and benefiting from its expertise."
Alexandria Minerals’ Cadillac Break property group in Val d’Or is located just 8 km east of Agnico-Eagle’s underground, bulk tonnage Goldex Mine, where it operates a concentrating facility. Elsewhere in the region, Agnico-Eagle also operates the Lapa Mine, as well as the large La Ronde gold-zinc-copper mine.

The proceeds from the Investment will be used to fund corporate and exploration activities, primarily building on its current drilling programme underway at Akasaba, where it has had considerable recent success, as well as expanding the Orenada gold deposit, where Alexandria has identified a Measured and Indicated resource of 361,000 ounces and an additional 175,000 ounces in the Inferred Resources category.
The Investment consists of 9,100,000 Units, where each Unit consists of one common share of Alexandria Minerals and one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles Agnico-Eagle to acquire one additional common share at a price of $0.21 for a period of 24 months from closing. The securities issued under the Investment will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of closing, being July 24, 2010. Agnico-Eagle also has the right to participate in future financings to maintain its equity position in Alexandria Minerals.

The company’s management has extensive global experience with small to large mining companies, from grass-roots exploration to the exploitation of mineral deposits.
