The 19 Claims represents the southern half of Alexandria's Joannes Township claims, which are located along the Cadillac Break about 20 km east of Noranda, Quebec. The 70 km stretch of Cadillac Break between Noranda and Val d'Or, Quebec, has historically produced some 60 million ounces of gold, and a number of recent discoveries have brought several projects closer to production, including Aurizon's Joanne project (2 million ounces of gold), Osisko Exploration's Malartic deposit (8 million ounces of gold), and Agnico Eagle's Lapa (1.5 million ounces) and Goldex Deposits (2.4 million ounces of gold).

Alexandria has $4.0 million in cash and short term assets, enough to keep the company active for a minimum of two years under its current planned budget. The Company is planning to complete approximately 10,000 meters of drilling over the next 14 months, principally on Orenada, Sleepy, Matachewan and follow-up on discoveries previously made on the Cadillac Break properties.
