About Alexander Nubia International Inc.

Alexander Nubia International Inc. (TSX.V: AAN) is a Canadian mineral exploration and development Company focused on advancing exploration projects in the Eastern Desert in Egypt. The Company holds two exploration concessions: Abu Marawat and Fatiri, which cover areas of 1,027 km2 and 1,745 km2, respectively. The Abu Marawat Concession contains two principal deposits: the Hamama volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") deposit and the Abu Marawat gold-copper mesothermal vein deposit. Priority and resources have been allocated to the Hamama deposit based on recent discovery of a broad zone of VMS gossan at-surface containing high grade gold, an extensive and mineralized footwall stringer zone and excellent first-stage diamond drilling results. The Abu Marawat Technical Report estimates an inferred mineral resource of 397,000 ounces of gold and gold-equivalent. With approximately $6 million in direct expenditures on the Abu Marawat deposit, this equates to a discovery cost of $15 per gold-equivalent ounce. With only 50% of the available strike length drilled to an average depth of 200 metres, management of the Company believes that this allows substantial upside for increasing the resource through a modest drill program. Further enhancing corporate value is a prospective land package containing several quality targets and deposits representing past producing gold mines and historical workings, all within a 35-kilometre radius and near to seaport, railway, electricity grid, international airport and paved highways.

Gold-Equivalent Calculation - Management has used the following to determine the inferred mineral resource of 397,000 ounces of gold plus gold equivalent: As disclosed in the Abu Marawat Technical Report, the Abu Marawat deposit inferred mineral resource is: 2.9 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.75 g/t Au, 29.3 g/t Ag, 0.77 % Cu and 1.15 % Zn, containing 162 thousand ounces Au, 2.7 million ounces Ag, 49 million pounds Cu, and 73 million pounds Zn. The gold equivalencies of silver, copper, and zinc are based on the metal prices used in the NSR model as follows: Au US$1400/ounce, Ag US$26/ounce, Cu US$3.50/pound and Zn $1.15/pound.
