Alpha Gold Director Carl Pines Appointed Interim-CEO

VANCOUVER, June 1, 2011 /CNW/ -- 
VANCOUVER, June 1, 2011 /CNW/ - Alpha Gold Corp. (TSX-V: ALQ) ("Alpha
 Gold" or the "Company") today announced that director Carl Pines has
 been appointed the interim CEO of Alpha Gold.


Mr. Pines holds a Bachelor of Sciences from McGill University, a
 Bachelor of Law from the University of British Columbia and attended
 the Stanford University Graduate Management Program. His areas of
 practice are Business & Corporate, Mergers & Acquisitions and
 Restructuring. Currently an Associate Counsel with Owen Bird Law
 Corporation, Mr. Pines has been involved in commercial law his entire
 career as well as being a director of several private companies.
 Structuring corporate transactions ranging from joint ventures to
 public offerings, that have included a number of mineral projects
 developing diamond, tungsten, gold and base metal assets, have been
 central to his law practice. He has also been legal counsel to other
 public companies and participated in board meetings in that capacity.
 Having served as Director for twelve years and the Audit Committee
 Chair means no one is more knowledgeable about Alpha Gold's history,
 nor is better prepared to take charge of the Company, than Carl Pines.


"Alpha's Board of Directors recognizes the responsibility we have to
 shareholders to build value in our Company," commented Carl Pines.
 "Since we have yet to find a suitable chief executive candidate, it is
 the decision of the Board that I formally assume the leadership role as
 Interim-CEO. My focus will be on investigating acquisition
 opportunities to explore other mineral projects in mine-friendly
 jurisdictions, including international prospects."


Alpha is nearing completion of its full data compilation program which
 began in September 2010 and includes digitizing of all available data
 from historic sampling and drill programs on the Lustdust Property.
 Alpha's Technical Director, Mary Webster, has determined that there are
 additional potential targets on the property that warrant further
 examination before pursuing another drill program.
