ALEXANDER  NUBIA  EXPANDS  MINERALIZED  ZONE  AT  BOHLOG  INCLUDING  SAMPLES  OF  2   METRES  AT  7.75  G/T  GOLD  AND  HISTORIC  TAILINGS  SAMPLE  OF  15.75  G/T  GOLD

• Potential  for  wider  zones  of  mineralization:  sampling  of  the  wall  rock  alteration  zones   on  either  side  of  the  veins  returned  gold  values  up  to  3.38  g/t  over  widths  of  2  metres.
• Assaying  of  historic  tailings  returned  15.75  g/t  gold.
• Identified  in  excess  of  8  sub-­‐parallel  quartz  veins  containing  significant  gold  values  up  

to  7.75  g/t  over  widths  of  2  metres.

• Expanded  the  broader  mineralized  package  to  over  500  metres  radius  (a  five-­‐fold  

expansion  from  previous  work).  

August  20,  2014  –  Toronto,  Ontario  –  Alexander  Nubia  International  Inc.  (TSX-­‐V:AAN)  (the  “Company”  or “Alexander  Nubia”)  is  pleased  to  announce  the  results  of  a  sampling  and  geologic  mapping  program  at the  Bohlog  prospect,  which  is  located  17.5  km  ENE  of  the  Hamama  VMS  deposit  within  the  Company’s Abu  Marawat  Concession.

Sampling  at  Bohlog  targeted  a  series  of  sub-­‐parallel  veins  and  associated  wall  rock  alteration  zones.    The best  assay  of  the  vein  material  is  7.75  g/t  gold  over  a  width  of  2  metres,  with  a  previously  reported  high of  18.65  g/t  gold  over  a  width  of  2  metres.    In  the  current  sampling  campaign,  all  quartz  vein  sampling ranged  from  a  low  of  0.008  g/t  gold  to  a  high  of  7.75  g/t  gold  with  a  weighted  average  of  1.11  g/t  gold. In  the  latest  round  of  sampling,  significant  values  (see  Table  1)  ranged  from  0.71  g/t  gold  to  7.75  g/t  gold with   a   weighted   average   of   2.28   g/t   gold.     Wall   rock   values   up   to   3.38   g/t   gold   from   2-­‐metre   chip-­‐ channel   samples   perpendicular   to   the   strike   of   the   vein   were   recorded.     Significant   wall   rock   values ranged   from   0.01   g/t   gold   to   a   high   of   3.38   g/t   gold   with   a   weighted   average   of   0.9   g/t   gold.     This indicates  the  potential  for  significantly  wider  mineralised  zones  than  just  the  quartz  veins,  which  will  be investigated  further.

The  results  at  the  Bohlog  prospect  combined  with  the  known  showings  within  a  20  km  radius  of  the Hamama  deposit  suggest  of  a  broader  mineralized  trend,  potentially  representing  a  district.    The  trend containing  the  Company’s  10  main  exploration  targets  (including  2  former  mines)  is  anchored  by  the Hamama   and   Abu   Marawat   projects,   and   stretches   35   kilometres   between   them.     In   addition,   gold quartz-­‐veins   showings   at   Abu   Gharida,   Aradiya,   Aradiya   North,   and   Abu   Garadish   warrant   further investigation.    Many  of  the  targets  show  evidence  of  historical  mining.

Chief  Executive  Officer,  Alexander  Massoud  stated,  “The  results  at  Bohlog  strengthen  our  view  about  the   significant  potential  of  the  Abu  Marawat  Concession  to  contain  a  district  scale  mineralised  trend  and  is   another  target  to  add  to  our  growing  portfolio  of  projects  in  Egypt.”    Mr  Massoud  commented  further: “The  exceptional  results  at  Hamama  VMS,  the  NI-­‐43  101  inferred  resource  at  Abu  Marawat  deposit,  and   encouraging  regional  results  within  the  Abu  Marawat  Concession  further  distinguish  Alexander  Nubia   among  junior  explorers  in  the  region.    Assay  results  are  also  pending  from  Sir  Bakis  a  former  producing   gold  mine,  in  addition  to  more  results  from  the  extensive  recent  work  program  at  the  Hamama  VMS   deposit.”

Salmon)  with  an  inferred  resource  of  2.88  M  tonnes  grading  1.75  g/t  gold,  29.3  g/t  silver,  0.77%  copper,  and  1.15%  zinc  or  as previously  reported  in  an  AAN  Press  Release  (April  16,  2012)  indicating  0.397  Moz  Gold  Equivalent.

Summary  of  Results:  

Bohlog   (26°24'12"N;   33°30'10"E)   is   one   of   several   auriferous   quartz-­‐vein   mineral   showings   grouped within  a  radius  of  20  km  and  along  the  trend  between  the  Abu  Marawat  and  Hamama  Projects.    These include  the  former  Sir  Bakis  and  Semna  mines  plus  mineralised  showings  at  Aradiya,  Aradiya  North,  Abu Garida,   Abu   Garadish,   and   several   other   unnamed   gold   occurrences.   Bohlog   was   identified   in   a reconnaissance  study  in  2012,  when  seven  samples  collected  from  a  zone  several  hundred  metres  long returned  assays  from  2.0  to  18.65  g/t  Au.    These  samples  were  collected  near  the  site  of  an  ancient mining  operation  that  may  be  as  old  as  the  Roman  era.

At   Bohlog,   the   recent   field   mapping   confirmed   zones   of   sericite-­‐chlorite   hydrothermal   alteration containing  auriferous  quartz  veins.    Three  of  the  target  areas  were  mapped  and  lightly  sampled.    These anomalies  include:  1)  the  core  area,  covering  4  hectares  2)  a  zone  of  alteration  500  metres  to  the  south of   the   core   area,   where   a   cluster   of   randomly   oriented   quartz   veins   had   been   tested   historically   by surface  pits  and  minor  underground  workings,  and  3)  an  area  500  metres  to  the  southeast  of  the  core area,   where   an   east-­‐west   trending   quartz   vein   had   been   excavated   historically   by   surface   pitting. Pending  is  further  technical  work  on  an  anomaly  500  metres  west  southwest  of  the  core  area.

The   Bohlog   area   is   underlain   by   a   large   intrusion   of   coarse-­‐grained   quartz   monzonite   with   abundant lens-­‐shaped  (commonly  20  metres  long  by  up  to  5  metres  wide)  bodies  of  mafic,  hypabyssal  intrusive rocks   and   narrow,   mostly   less   than   one   metre   wide,   andesite   dikes.     On   a   district   scale,   auriferous quartz-­‐veins  appear  to  radiate  from  a  point  near  the  southernmost  alteration  zone,  but  veins  and  their structural  relationships  have  yet  to  be  evaluated  fully.    Most  quartz  veins  are  sub-­‐vertical.    At  some  sites, wall   rock   alteration,   in   the   form   of   mylonite   containing   sericite   and   chlorite   alteration,   extends   for several  metres  into  the  country  rock.    In  these  zones,  the  wall  rock  commonly  contains  elevated  gold values.

A  total  of  42  samples  of  veins  and  wall  rock  alteration  zones  were  collected  for  analysis.    Gold  from  veins and   wall   rock   ranges   from   trace   values   to   7.75   g/t.   Table   1   shows   the   most   significant   samples.     Of interest  are  some  locations  where  wall  rock  alteration,  carried  up  to  3.38  g/t  Au.

Sample  Collection  and  Processing/ALS  laboratory  Procedures  and  Analysis/QA  and  QC:

Sample   collection   is   under   the   direct   supervision   of   a   Project   Geologist   with   the   help   of   a   seasoned assistant.    Quartz  veins  are  chip-­‐channel  sampled  from  wall  contact  to  wall  contact  and  perpendicular  to the  strike  and  (or)  dip  direction  of  the  vein.    The  maximum  width  of  an  individual  sample  is  two  metres. If   the   vein   is   more   than   two   metres   wide,   but   less   than   four   metres,   two   equal   length   samples   are collected.     If   the   enclosing   wall   rock   shows   signs   of   hydrothermal   alteration,   a   single   chip-­‐channel sample,  up  to  two  metres  in  width,  is  collected  on  each  side  of  the  vein.    In  areas  where  the  wall  rock alteration  is  more  than  two  metres  in  width  and  assay  results  are  favourable,  the  area  will  be  revisited for  additional  sampling.

At  each  collection  site,  the  sample  assay  tag  number  is  painted  on  the  wall  rock  with  aerosol  spray  paint to  mark  the  sample  location.    Individual  samples  vary  in  weight  but  generally  weigh  between  two  and three  kg.    The  rock  sample  along  with  one  Assay  Tag  Booklet  tear-­‐out  tab  is  placed  in  a  heavy  cotton, sealable   bag   with   the   same   assay   sample   tag   number   written   on   the   outside   of   the   bag.     Sample information   including   vein   width,   strike   and   dip,   along   with   any   additional   important   geological information  is  recorded  in  the  Assay  Tag  Booklet  along  with  the  GPS  coordinates  of  the  sample  site.    The Assay  Tag  Booklet  is  kept  in  safe  storage  at  the  Hamama  Camp.

Once   collected,   samples   are   processed   at   the   Company’s   sample   preparation   facility   at   the   Abu Marawat   camp.     Sample   preparation   is   usually   under   the   direct   supervision   of   the   same   Project Geologist  involved  with  the  sample  collection.    This  procedure  is  followed  so  that  the  Project  Geologist can  also  perform  specific  gravity  measurements  on  some  of  the  samples.

Specific   gravity   measurements   are   done   by   industry   accepted   practices,   whereby   a   mathematical comparison   is   made   between   the   sample’s   weight   in   air   and   its   weight   in   water.     A   standard   quartz sample  is  tested  at  various  intervals  in  the  sample  stream  to  insure  sampling  accuracy.    Specific  gravity measurements   have   also   been   cross-­‐checked   by   ALS   Minerals   using   the   Pycnometer   technique;   the statistical  correlation  between  the  two  methods  is  good.

The  Company  limits  its  on-­‐site  sample  preparation  to  jaw  crushing  the  samples.    The  entire  sample  is passed  through  a  Bico  Inc.  Badger  Jaw  Crusher  to  reduce  any  over-­‐sized  particles  to  less  than  5  mm  in size.    The  sample  is  then  riffle-­‐split  into  two  portions  of  equal  size,  one  of  which  is  retained  by  Egyptian Mineral  Resource  Authority  (“EMRA”)  in  its  permanent  storage  facility  south  of  Cairo.    Once  the  samples are   approved   by   EMRA   for   export,   they   are   sent   by   courier   to   ALS   Minerals   (“ALS”)   in   Romania   for further   processing   and   analysis.     ALS   processes   the   samples   by   internationally   accepted   assaying techniques.    ALS  is  an  IOS  certified  analytical  laboratory  and  is  recognized  throughout  the  world  for  its quality  and  reliable  work.

The  ALS  laboratory  in  Romania  can  do  fire  assaying  for  gold  and  Atomic  Absorption  techniques  for  silver, copper,  lead,  and  zinc  along  with  some  additional  elements.    “Out  of  Range”  samples  (Au  >10  ppm,  Ag >100  ppm,  and  base  metals  >10000  ppm)  are  automatically  considered  by  ALS  to  be  ore-­‐grade  samples and   are   re-­‐analyzed   accordingly.     Generally,   the   Company   requests   additional   elements   for   analysis, which  is  done  in  ALS’s  laboratory  in  Vancouver,  B.C.,  Canada.    In  this  case,  ALS  prepares  a  small  cut  from the  pulverized  material  and  ships  the  sample-­‐cut  to  Vancouver  for  ICP  analysis.

In  addition  to  the  internal  QA/QC  conducted  by  ALS,  Alexander  Nubia  also  does  QA/QC  work.    Five  to seven   per   cent   of   all   samples   sent   for   analysis   include   duplicates,   blanks,   and   Industrial   Standards randomly   inserted   into   the   sample   stream.     Any   inconsistencies   in   the   comparative   analysis   of duplicates,   blanks,   or   Industrial   Standards,   identified   by   Alexander   Nubia’s   technical   staff,   triggers   a request  for  re-­‐analysis  of  the  batch  of  samples  associated  with  the  discrepancies.
