Toronto, Ontario (October 6, 2011) – Alexandria Minerals Corporation (the “Company”) (TSX-V: AZX) is pleased to announce that it has engaged Union Securities Ltd. to act as lead agent along with Stonecap Securities Inc. (collectively, the “Agents”) on a commercially reasonable efforts basis for a brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”) consisting of an aggregate of $3,000,000 worth of units (“Units”) and flow-through units (“FT Units”) of the Company at a price of $0.13 per Unit and $0.14 per FT Unit.

Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company and one non-transferable common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company (a “Warrant Share”) at a price of $0.22 per Warrant Share for a period of 12 months from the completion of the Private Placement. Each FT Unit will consist of one “flow-through” common share of the Company and one-half of one (1/2) Warrant.

In addition, the Company has granted the lead Agent an option (the “Over-allotment Option”) to sell such number of additional Units and FT Units equal to 15% of the number of Units and FT Units sold under the Private Placement. If exercised, the lead Agent must exercise the Over-alloment Option within 5 business days of the closing of the Private Placement.

The Company will pay the Agents a commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds raised under the Private Placement (including the proceeds of raised upon exercise of the Over-allotment Option, if any). The Agents will also receive compensation options entitling the Agents to purchase such number of Units that is equal to 7% of the total number of Units and FT Units sold under the Private Placement (and Over-allotment Option, if any). Each Agents’ compensation option will entitle the holder to purchase one Unit at a price of $0.13 per Unit for a period of 12 months from completion of the Private Placement.

The net proceeds from the sale of the Units and FT Units will be used for exploration and drilling on its Cadillac Break property group in Val d’Or, Quebec, and for general working capital purposes. Specifically, the Company has delineated a near-term 20,000 m drill programme on its Akasaba and Sleepy projects, where it has been focused over the past 12 to 18 months, and where it has had success at enlarging the gold zones on both properties with strong drill results.

All securities are subject to a four month hold period commencing from the date of closing. The Private Placement is subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.
