[{"type":"text","content":"Alpha Exploration Finds Massive Sulphide Mineralization in 2 Drill Holes at Tolegimja ProspectCalgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - March 3, 2022) - Alpha Exploration Ltd.  (TSXV: ALEX) (\"Alpha\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has recently completed the initial drilling on the Tolegimja and Kona West volcanogenic-massive-sulphide (VMS) copper-zinc-gold prospects on its Kerkasha Project, Eritrea. Significant intervals of massive sulphide mineralization were observed in two of the drill holes at Tolegimja - see below for details.The Tolegimja prospect is a virgin discovery by Alpha geologists in the northeast of the Kerkasha Project made during an initial property-wide soil geochemical survey. Prospect scale rock-chip, soil sampling and detailed geological mapping indicate the prospect could host a bimodal-mafic copper-zinc-gold volcanogenic-massive-sulphide (VMS) with high copper values at the surface located over the contact between the felsic and mafic rocks. A recently completed IP-Resistivity geophysical survey has identified strong chargeability anomalies stretching over two kilometers immediately beneath the high copper and zinc values at surface. For more details about Tolegimja see Alpha News Release dated January 20, 2022.Nine reverse-circulation drill holes were recently completed at Tolegimja for a total of 1,862 meters (designated TLR001 to TLR009) - see Map 1 for details. Visual logging of the rock-chip samples from the drilling show that massive sulphide type mineralization was intersected in holes TLR003 and TLR009 as summarized in Table 1 below. Assay results are expected to be received next month.Table 1 Summary of Massive Sulphide Intercepts in Drilling at TolegimjaDrill hole #From metersTo meters Interval metersCommentTLR003485911Massive sulphides71765Massive sulphidesTLR00962653Massive sulphides69701Massive sulphides74773Massive sulphides85861Massive sulphides MAP 1To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/8361/115539_f02d403cb44ed81c_002full.jpgMichael Hopley, Alpha President and CEO said, \"To see substantial intervals of massive sulphide mineralization in the drill cuttings in the first few drill holes at Tolegimja is an important step in the exploration process but, the real significance won't be known until receipt of ...
