Upcoming Work Program Objectives
At Hamama VMS, an excavator will be mobilized to undertake deep trenching of a number of high-‐ priority areas with the purpose:
§ To explore for strike and width extension of the oxidized Gold Cap § To test for continuity of mineralization between surface showings and down-‐dip intersections defined by drilling § To explore for near-‐surface mineralization within the Central and Eastern Zones § To identify areas with favorable near-‐surface mineralization to be assessed by geophysical surveys § To identify areas with favorable near-‐surface mineralization to be tested by drilling
As well, metallurgical testing will be carried out to establish representative gold-‐silver recovery rates from cyanide-‐soluble gold and silver in the oxidized Gold Cap.
Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Alexander Massoud stated, “The Hamama Project has the potential to become a major VMS deposit, it has similar characteristics to the well known Hassai [La Mancha] and Bisha [Nevsun Resources] mines. The participation of successful international mining executives, institutions, and directors and management of the Company in this private placement is a strong vote of confidence in the project, management, and trajectory of the Company.” Mr. Massoud further stated, “Over the next three to six months, I anticipate a number of technical and corporate catalysts for the Company.

About Alexander Nubia International Inc.
Alexander Nubia International Inc. is an established Canadian mineral exploration company that has been operating in Egypt since 2007. It is committed to identifying, focusing on, and advancing gold and base-‐metal projects in the Eastern Desert of Egypt. The Company holds two exploration and development concessions in Egypt: Abu Marawat and Fatiri, which cover areas of 1,027 km2 and 1,745 km2, respectively. The Company is focused on exploration within the Abu Marawat Concession, which contains its two main properties, the Hamama volcanogenic massive sulphide (“VMS”) deposit and the Abu Marawat mesothermal vein deposit, the latter with an NI 43-‐101-‐compliant inferred gold-‐copper-‐ rich resource.
Hamama VMS has a number of characteristics that are similar to other major VMS deposits in the Arabian Nubian Shield: Bisha (Nevsun Resources), Hassaï (La Mancha), Jabal Sayid (Barrick Gold). Drilling at Hamama intersected high-‐grade semi-‐massive and massive volcanogenic sulphide mineralization, which contains a broad zone of VMS gossan with high-‐grade gold and silver (an oxidized “gold cap”) above a primary zinc-‐gold-‐silver-‐rich exhalite horizon, and an extensive mineralized footwall stringer and breccia zone. The Gold Cap extends 650 metres along strike and average 43.8 wide grading 2.05 g/t gold and 44.7 g/t silver. Drilling has confirmed an oxidized zone extending 30 to 45 metres of depth.
The Company holds a highly prospective land package with an established history of mining dating back to the Pharaonic era, with three historical gold mines and four major prospects. The land package is enhanced by excellent and nearby infrastructure, which includes access to highway and railway, a high-‐ capacity electricity grid, and nearby major cities: Qena, on the Nile River, and Port of Safaga, on the Red Sea.
