Alexis Confirms 156% Increased Reserves at Lac Herbin Gold Mine

 

August 7, 2009, Toronto, Ontario:  ALEXIS MINERALS CORPORATION (AMC: TSX) is pleased to announce a 156% increase in Proven and Probable Reserves for its Lac Herbin gold mine in Val d'Or, Quebec, as confirmed in an independent NI 43-101Technical Report.  Total Proven and Probable Reserves have been evaluated at 617,374 tonnes @ 7.36 g/t of gold (Au) for a total of 146,007 oz. Au (Table 1), increased from 239,237 tonnes @ 7.40 g/t for 57,128 oz. Au, calculated in the last independent study in 2007.   This result validates the minimum five year mine life and the associated positive cash flow for the Lac Herbin mine. Based on actual and projected production costs the Net Present Value (NPV), at a 7% discount rate, is estimated at CDN $ 48 million.  As the company is adding to its resources through regular drilling programs it expects the mine could surpass a life expectancy of at least ten years given the identified potential around the mine.

 

Resources are contained within 6 zones located from 30 to 650 m below surface. Additional Diamond drilling has been completed since the beginning of 2009 as part of the ongoing delineation and exploration drilling program; numerous ore zone extensions and gold-rich zones have been intersected, enhancing the potential of the Lac Herbin property.  It is important to note that a total of 80,284 tonnes grading 6.9 g/t for 18,115 oz Au were mined in 2008.  The exploration programs last year replaced what was mined and the delineation drilling and development completed allowed for the significant increase in reserves.

 

A profitable Long Term Plan of 36,000 to 40,000 oz per year was developed using the reserves and resources [for Resource estimates see News Release: February 24, 2009] to reflect the multi-year production typical of Val d'Or gold camp mines and the potential to extend reserves at Lac Herbin based on the current exploration and mining results over the last 2 years.  Historically, typical vein-type deposits in the Val d'Or District of northwestern Quebec consistently demonstrate annual replacement of resources through ongoing mine exploration, extending mine life significantly beyond outlined Resource and Reserves. Recent exploration immediately adjacent to the Lac Herbin Mine has demonstrated such on-going potential [see News Release: April 3, 2009]. Mine exploration will continue to focus on Resource growth on strike and at depth.

 

Golder Associates Ltd. was mandated to produce an evaluation of reserves based on the December 31, 2008 resources estimate. This most recent reserve calculation is based on mineral resources evaluated by Alexis Minerals staff as at December 31, 2008 reported under NI 43-101 guidelines in March 2009.

The 2009 reserve estimate will be issued during the third quarter of 2009 and posted to www.sedar.com.

 

This update supports Alexis as it continues to fulfill its strategy of expanding its gold profile to achieve mid-tier producer status. The Company's management focus, growing production profile, large land holdings and strategic infrastructure, provide the foundation for the discovery, development and operation of new deposits. The extensive property portfolio of Alexis in the highly prolific mining camps of the Abitibi district ultimately offers the potential for the discovery of world class deposits.
