Alexander Mining plc-Good Test Work Results for Red Crescent Resources Limited on Hakkari Zinc Project Samples

Alexander Mining plc (TSX VENTURE:AXD)(AIM:AXM) ('Alexander' or the 'Company') -  

Alexander is pleased to report favourable AmmLeach(R) amenability testwork
results for the recovery of zinc from samples provided by Red Crescent Resources
Limited ('RCR') from its Hakkari Zinc Project in far south-east Turkey. 


The Hakkari testwork has shown that zinc recoveries of at least 80% should be
possible once the pre-treatment and leaching conditions are optimised. The
completion of these amenability tests has shown that AmmLeach(R) could be used
for leaching zinc from the Hakkari ore to produce either zinc metal or an
intermediate zinc oxide product.  


Further test work is required to: 

1. Optimize leaching; 

2. Investigate particle size effects on recovery; 

3. Measure and optimize reagent consumption; and 

4. Evaluate the various options available to produce a final product. 

The findings of this testwork and next steps are being considered by RCR.
