Alexander Nubia commences drilling at the Hamama VMS deposit, Egypt.

Toronto, Ontario CANADA, October 19, 2012 /FSC/ - Alexander Nubia International Inc. (AAN - TSX Venture), is pleased to announce that diamond drilling has commenced at the Hamama, volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposit in Egypt.  The Main VMS Horizon (which contains the Western VMS Zone) has been traced on surface over 3,000 metre along strike with an extensive mineralized footwall alteration and stringer zone, and stacked VMS lenses beneath the Main VMS Horizon.

The initial 1,000 metre diamond drilling program is intended to test only a portion of the Main VMS Horizon, with a focus on the new discovery, the Western VMS zone, a broad zone of exposed mineralized gossan that has been traced at surface over 1,100 metres along strike. Drilling will initially test the core zone identified by deep trenching, which is 650 metres along strike that averages 54.8 metres wide which at its widest point is 114 metres.

"Exceptional at surface results at the Hamama deposit, in particular the Western VMS zone, give us a high degree of confidence about the potential of this deposit. As an example, deep trench 96, returned 68 metres grading 3.07 g/t gold and 38.1 g/t silver, how this will translate at depth through drilling is an exciting prospect. " said Alexander Massoud, Chief Executive Officer, who commented further, "Three substantial VMS deposits in the Arabian-Nubian shield, Hassai deposit - La Mancha (Sudan), Bisha deposit - Nevsun (Eritrea), and Jabal Sayid deposit - Barrick Gold (Saudi Arabia) have been identified by a gold-silver rich cap.  The Western VMS zone will be the first target of this program."
