TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - 11/29/10) - ALEXIS MINERALS CORPORATION (TSX:AMC - News)(Pinksheets:AXSMF - News) ("Alexis" or the "Company") is pleased to report additional encouraging results from its gold exploration drilling program at its Snow Lake Mine in Manitoba. Drilling confirms the potential for mineralization from surface to 520 foot depth within the East Extension of the Main Mine, giving further support for the potential discovery of a major new ore zone. Also, very high gold grade results are being found in the Footwall of the Main Mine Horizon. Highlights include (see Table 1):

East Extension


-- 2.99 g Au/t over 15.12 metres (m) in hole HB 10-70; including -- 7.16 g Au/t over 4.73 m;-- 2.06 g Au/t over 8.41 m in hole HB 10-72.
Footwall Zones


-- 22.43 g Au/t over 4.21 m in hole HB 10-71; including -- 148.97 g Au/t over 0.59 m; or -- 51.46 g Au/t over 1.73 m-- 3.70 g Au/t over 9.86 m in hole HB 10-80; including -- 5.69 g Au/t over 5.40 m; -- 41.62 g Au/t over 0.52 m.
Drilling until August 2010 was largely focused on areas of Inferred Resources adjacent to the mine in order to further delineate these in support of the recently completed Snow Lake Feasibility Study (see news release: November 3, 2010). Drilling is now focused on several known gold showings and numerous structural targets across the property. Recent drilling has focused on the East Extension (see news release, June 15, 2010), an area immediately to the east of the principal zones historically mined at the Snow Lake Mine; and, on high grade intercepts in the Footwall (FW) of the Main Mine Horizon. The zone is cut by a Gabbroic intrusion below the 520 foot level. Down plunge exploration of this new ore trend is in progress. Mineralization in the footwall zones is locally very high grade and work to correlate this new area of interest is ongoing.

A program of recompilation and reinterpretation of all property data is in progress. This work is identifying good potential for the extension of known ore zones along strike, as well as down plunge of existing deposits. With its acquisition of the Snow Lake property and the addition of properties over the Snow Lake Basin, (see news release: November 24, 2010); Alexis' management feels the property could become the foundation for significant growth in resources, reserves and gold production within the next 12-18 months.

During the first eleven months of 2010, 28,841m of diamond drilling has taken place on the Snow Lake property. Alexis will invest approximately $5.5 million of its annual exploration budget in the Snow Lake property in 2010 and has three drill rigs operating. Exploration budgets on the Snow Lake properties are expected to increase to $8.0M for 2011.
