Galena International Resources Ltd. Files Suit Against ALX Ventures Corporation

VANCOUVER, Sept. 29, 2016 - Galena International Resources Ltd. (NEX:GTO.H) ("Galena" or "the Company") has commenced an action in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against ALX Uranium Corp ("ALX") in respect of Galena's previously announced acquisition of the Mikwam property ("Mikwam") located approximately 160 kilometers north-east of Timmins, Ontario. Terms for the acquisition were reached in mid July 2016 and reiterated in a letter of intent and in a definitive agreement which was presented by ALX to Galena and accepted by Galena. Subsequently, on September 7, 2016, ALX advised Galena that its board had "voted down" the terms which had been agreed upon, and that ALX wished to renegotiate those terms. ALX advised Galena that its board had decided that Mikwam was more valuable than it previously believed when the terms were negotiated, notwithstanding that the agreed terms were previously approved by the ALX board.

The Mikwam Property lies in the Harricana-Turgeon Belt within the northern portion of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt of the Superior Province of the Canadian Shield. The Harricana-Turgeon Belt hosts polymetallic deposits and several well-known gold deposits such as the Eagle mine, the Casa-Berardi mine and the Detour mine.

Galena is a mineral exploration company, with a focus on gold within the prolific Abitibi Gold belt. The company will be considering additional acquisitions of advanced staged opportunities in proven mining districts. Galena has a strong treasury and a sound management team with experience in all facets of the mineral exploration and mining industry.
