[{"type":"text","content":"Alpha Exploration Announces New Drill Results from the Aburna Gold District Including 29 Meters Averaging 2.89 g/t Gold at Hill 52 Prospect, and 8 Meters Averaging 3.77 g/t Gold at the Northeast ProspectCalgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - November 14, 2024) - Alpha Exploration Ltd. (TSXV: ALEX) (\"Alpha\" or the \"Company\") announces initial drill results from its 7,868m drill program at the Aburna orogenic gold prospect within its 100% owned, 771 km² Kerkasha Project located in Eritrea.Aburna is a major, district scale orogenic gold project covering an area of at least 7km long and 2km wide and is one of three significant discoveries made by Alpha on the Kerkasha licence. Exploration to date by Alpha on the project has defined six primary areas of interest including the Hill 52 and Northeast prospects (see Figure 1, below).Following a period of sample preparation delay, assays from 20 holes completed in July 2024 have now been received. Alpha is pleased to report initial assays received from both the Hill 52 and Northeast areas.HIGHLIGHTS:From Hill 52 Prospect:29m @ 2.89 g/t gold (ABRD 142) 4m @ 7.12 g/t gold (ABD 024) 5m @ 4.3 g/t gold (ABD 025)From the Northeast Prospect:8m @ 2.35 g/t gold (ABR 171) 8m @ 3.77 g/t gold (ABR 169) Mineralization at the Northeast Prospect is now extended to over 650m strike lengthDrill samples from the second and third quarter of this year are now being successfully prepared for assay. Hill 52 ProspectSignificant intervals from the recent drilling are shown in Table 2. Hole ABRD142 intersected 4m @ 10.00 g/t gold from a wider zone intersecting 29m@ 2.89 g/t gold with additional mineralized zones within the hole intersecting 1m @ 19.2 g/t gold and 1m @ 13 g/t gold. With a 40m offset, southeast of ABRD142, drillhole ABD024 intersected 4m @ 7.12 g/t gold from a wider zone of 18m @ 1.91 g/t gold and ABD025 intersected 5m @ 4.3 g/t gold from an offset of 40m southeast of ABD024. Gold mineralization seen in holes ABRD024 and ABRD025 is open to depth, and the Company plans to to deepen these holes (see cross-section Figure 2). Significantly, drillholes ABRD142, ABD024 and ABD025 are 80m, 130m & 170m respectively south-east from previous drillhole ABD012, reported earlier this year which intersected 18m @ 15.33 g/t gold and ABD013 (49m @ 2.75 g/t gold).
