[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alpha Copper Corp. (CSE: ALCU) (OTC: ALCUF) (“Alpha,” “Alpha Copper,” or the “Company”) a resource sector enterprise founded to create value through mineral exploration, technical development, and asset acquisition, is pleased to announce that mobilization to the Indata project has commenced. Alpha has begun moving the drill rig and excavator to the project site to execute on its maiden 5000 m drilling campaign. The Indata project encompasses 3,189 hectares (7,880 acres) and is located 230 kilometers northwest of the City of Prince George and immediately south of the Stardust-Kwanika Project owned by Northwest Copper Corp. The upcoming exploration program while predominantly diamond drilling will also include new grid work and excavator trenching. The company is planning to drill 5000 meters across all targets with the focus being on the Lake Zone as it is the most advanced location with the most extensive exploration data to-date. Alongside the drill program, the company will undertake additional soil grid work and make use of the exploration opportunities the excavator will provide as it moves through the bush. The quarry zone target was exposed via excavator road construction in 2019 and uncovered a grab sample grading 3.65% copper and 5.95 g/t gold which is extremely favourable albeit selective in nature. The NW and SW Copper targets are more directly related to carbonate replacement mineralized targets which closely resemble that of the Kwanika and Stardust deposits just 1.9 km to the north on Northwest Coppers ground. These two targets offer very interesting geophysical data which the company is extremely focussed on developing into a complete dataset during this campaign. The Indata project has benefited from several million dollars of exploratory investment since the 1980’s which provides meaningful targeting data in an area covered with overburden which limits traditional methods of exploration. With this current drill program, Alpha will advance its Indata asset valuation as part of its aggressive push to deliver on its mission to boost copper supply for the green revolution in battery evolution. An updated summary of the current copper targets (see figure 1) at the Indata Copper-Gold Project are as follows: Lake Zone: A 1,000-meter-long induced polarizati...
