Intervals were calculated with a start and finish value of no less than 0.5 g/t gold, a minimum width of 2 m and maximum internal dilution of 2 m at >0.2g/t gold.Michael Hopley, Alpha President & CEO said \"We are again, very encouraged about these latest drilling results from Aburna. Given that the Aburna prospect is a huge area - over 6 km long and 2 km wide - as defined by Alpha surface sampling and mapping - and the fact that we have only drilled 43 holes to date - just over 5, 000 m in an area measuring about 2.5 km by 1.5 km and many holes have found strong gold mineralization over significant widths including two holes (ABR-037 and ABD-001) which intersected extraordinary results of 16m averaging 14.07 g/t and 20m averaging 7.70 g/t gold. The results to date suggest to me a major gold discovery by Alpha at Aburna; obviously more drilling is justified.\"Aburna Gold ProspectThe Aburna gold prospect is located on the western side of the Company's Kerkasha Exploration License. Gold was mined at Aburna in the 1920s by Italian colonial miners and more recently by local artisanal miners. Earlier soil and rock-chip sampling by Alpha identified gold mineralization over a l...
