[{"type":"text","content":"Alpha Exploration Announces More Positive Drilling Results from AburnaCalgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - January 30, 2024) - Alpha Exploration Ltd. (TSXV: ALEX) (\"Alpha\" or the \"Company\") announces initial drilling results from a 10,000m drill program underway on its Aburna Gold Prospect (\"Aburna\") on the Company's 100% owned, 771 km² Kerkasha Project located in Eritrea. Drilling consists of both reverse-circulation (\"RC\") drilling and diamond drilling (\"DD\").Initial assays, including 20m @ 2.82 g/t Au (Hole ABR100) and 22m @ 1.71 g/t Au (Hole ABR105), have been received from ongoing drilling at Aburna where assays from nine drill holes from Central Area and three drill holes from Northeast Area have been completed to date. Significantly, these results have now established wide, continuous mineralization close to surface at Central Area for over 300m in strike, confirming a dominant northeast plunge that is open along strike and up and down plunge (Figure 1). At Northeast Area, assays received from three incomplete holes that have not yet drilled deep enough to hit their intended target and are testing a similar plunge orientation, have already intersected up to 2m @ 13.11 g/t Au (hole ABR108) and 1m @ 14 g/t Au (ABR109). Aburna is a major, district scale orogenic gold prospect covering an area of at least 7km long and 2km wide and is one of the three significant discoveries made by Alpha on the Kerkasha licence in the last three years. Exploration to date by Alpha on the project has defined six primary areas of interest, and has established significant high-grade gold mineralised systems at Central Area, Hill 52 and Northeast Area (see Figure 2, below).HIGHLIGHTS:20m @ 2.82 g/t Au, 22m @ 1.71 g/t Au and 24m @ 1.17 g/t Au reported from Central Area2m @ 13.11 g/t Au and 1m @ 14 g/t Au from partially completed holes from Northeast AreaDrilling defines significant shallow gold mineralised lens 300m long, fully open at Central AreaPlunging geometry of gold mineralization shoots at Central Area confirmedFurther drilling underway at Central, Hill 52 & Northeast area prioritising similarly oriented gold shootsDrill ProgramThe Company commenced the current drill program in December 2023.
