Alexander Resources International Inc. -- Announcement.

Business Editors

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 26, 2000

(CDNX:AWS.)

The Company is pleased to announce that on April 28th, 2000, the name change to African Sky Communications Incorporated, will be effective and the Company's shares will cease to trade under the name Alexander Resources International Inc. The Company's new trading symbol will be PHN and the shares of African Sky Communications Inc. will trade on the Canadian Venture Exchange.

The name change reflects the Company's entrance into the communications market in eastern and southern Africa. As previously announced on March 13, 2000 the Company has the right to provide communication services in South Africa through its agreement with Focinetworks who has a telecommunications license in South Africa and will initiate this network in the form of a pilot project, using satellite and wireless communication technologies, with the first phase beginning this month.

Due to the Company's change of business from gold exploration to telecommunication and the subsequent shareholder approval of the name change the Canadian Venture Exchange completed a listing review of the Company which included verification of it's license in South Africa through it's agreement with Focinetworks CC of South Africa. The Exchange requested documentation to confirm the validity of the license and that the agreement was within the policies and regulations of the South African regulators. This documentation included an independent legal opinion and letter from the South African Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (SATRA) verifying the legal status of the license and the agreement.

The Company is in ongoing discussions with potential joint venture partners to implement and operate this network. ----------------- Harry Corrigan Chief Executive Officer
