Alpha Minerals JV Barge Drilling Closes with Significant Expansion of R780E Zone and Potential 6th Zone at Patterson Lake South

16/10/2013 9:00am

Marketwired Canada


Alpha Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:AMW)(FRANKFURT:E2GA), (the "Company" or
"Alpha"), and its 50% Joint Venture partner Fission Uranium Corp are pleased to
announce results for the final ten lake holes of the summer program at their
Patterson Lake South (PLS) property in Canada's Athabasca Basin. All holes
intersected significant mineralization. Of particular note are drill holes
PLS13-109 (99.5m total composite mineralization, including 6.87m total composite
"off-scale") and PLS13-097 (90.0m total composite mineralization, including
6.35m total composite "off-scale") in the R780E zone. 


Drilling Highlights include:



--  PLS13-109 (line 750E) 
    --  99.5m total composite mineralization (within 105.5m - 334.5m)
        including: 
        --  6.87m total composite off-scale (greater than 9999 cps)
            radioactivity 

--  PLS13-097 (line 795E) 
    --  90.0m total composite mineralization (within 74.5m - 254.5m)
        including: 
        --  6.48m total composite off-scale (greater than 9999 cps)
            radioactivity 

--  PLS13-108 (line 810E) 
    --  103.5m total composite mineralization (within 80.5m - 234.5m),
        including: 
        --  3.25m total composite off-scale (greater than 9999 cps)
            radioactivity 

--  PLS13-090 and -103 (line 1155E) 
    --  PLS mineralized strike length extended to 1.23km 



It is very significant that none of the mineralized "zones" have been limited by
drilling during the current or earlier programmes, and there is a possibility
that mineralization has continuity between some or all of the "zones". The size
of the mineralizing system discovered at PLS thus far correlates well with
Alpha's regional context of the property. 


The following drill holes are reported in this news release: PLS13-104 (R390E
zone); PLS13-106 (R585E zone); PLS13-097, PLS13-101, PLS13-105, PLS13-107,
PLS13-108, and PLS13-109 (R780E zone); and PLS13-090, and PLS13-103 (line 1155E)
all intersected significant mineralization. 


R390E Zone

The R390E zone refers to the zone of mineralization currently defined over 255m
of strike length between line 225E (PLS13-093) and line 480E (PLS13-088). One
additional hole was drilled on the R390E zone since the last update (see news
release September 27, 2013). Drill hole PLS13-104 was a vertical collared hole
on line 465E, located 15m grid west of PLS13-088. A 3.6m wide interval of
Devonian sandstone (50.0m - 53.6m) overlies basement pelitic gneiss,
transitioning to semi-pelitic gneiss from 210.4m to the end of hole depth of
309.2m. Several intervals of undifferentiated mylonites are present within the
pelitic sequence, in intervals ranging from 2.1m to 20.6m wide. Radioactive
mineralization occurs in several discrete intervals between 53.5m and 212.0m,
ranging from 0.5m to 17.0m wide for a total composite of 70.0m of
mineralization, including a total composite of 3.02m of off-scale radioactivity
in intervals of 0.15m to 1.48m.

R585E Zone

The R585E zone refers to the zone of mineralization currently defined by only
two drill holes on line 585E. One additional hole was drilled on the R585E zone
since the last update (see news release September 23, 2013). PLS13-106 was a
vertical collared hole on line 585E, located 10m grid north of PLS13-098.
Bedrock was encountered at 53.7m, compared to a depth of 62.4m in PLS13-098.
This represents a significant 8.7m vertical off-set to the top of the basement
between holes. A pelitic gneiss was intersected from 53.7m to 176.2m and a
semipelitic gneiss from 176.2m to 269.6m. A wide sequence of diabase was
intersected from 269.6m to 332.0m. Radioactive mineralization is broad and
relatively moderate to locally strong, occurring in several intervals from 0.5m
to 19.5m for a total composite of 86.5m over a 160.0m section (82.5m to 242.5m).
The difference in intensity of mineralization between drill holes PLS13-098 and
-106 may be related to the significant fault interpreted between the 2 holes.
Further drilling is required to determine the nature and control of
mineralization at the R585E zone.

R780E Zone

The R780E zone refers to the zone of mineralization currently defined over 60m
of strike length between line 750E (hole PLS13-109) and line 810E (PLS13-108).
Six additional holes were drilled on the R780E zone since the last update (see
news release September 12, 2013), for a total of 12 holes presently defining the
R780E zone. 


Line 750E: 



--  Drillhole PLS13-109 was collared as a vertical hole and drilled to a
    depth of 401.0m. The collar is located approximately 30m grid west of
    PLS13-060. Basement was intersected at 58.3m. A quartzitic gneiss is
    present from 58.3m to 103.4m. From 103.4m to 337.6m the lithology is
    dominantly pelitic gneiss with multiple intervals of undifferentiated
    mylonites (from 1.8m to 9.9m wide) and cataclasites. From 337.6m to the
    end of hole depth of 401.0m a semi-pelitic gneiss dominates. Anomalous
    radioactivity occurs from 105.5m coincident with the transition from
    quartzitic to pelitic gneiss. A total composite of 99.5m of
    mineralization within a 229.0m section (105.5m to 334.5m) occurs in
    several variably radioactive mineralized intervals ranging in width from
    0.5m to 34.0m. A total composite of 6.87m of off-scale radioactivity
    occurs in several discrete intervals ranging from 0.12m to 3.28m wide. 



Line 765E: Two vertically collared holes were drilled on line 765E 



--  Drillhole PLS13-105 was collared as a vertical hole and drilled to a
    depth of 419.0m. The collar is located approximately 15m grid west of
    PLS13-080. Basement was intersected at 55.0m. A quartzitic gneiss is
    present from 55.0m to 109.2m. From 109.2m to 296.6m lithology is
    dominantly pelitic gneiss with multiple intervals of undifferentiated
    mylonites (from 1.3m to 13.9m wide). From 296.6m to the end of hole
    depth of 419.0m a semipelitic gneiss dominates. Anomalous radioactivity
    occurs from 106.5m coincident with the transition from quartzitic to
    pelitic gneiss. A total composite of 46.5m of mineralization within a
    224.0m section (106.5m to 330.5m) occurs in several variably radioactive
    mineralized intervals ranging in width from 0.5m to 18.5m. A total
    composite of 1.64m of off-scale radioactivity occurs in several discrete
    intervals ranging from 0.15m to 1.06m wide. 

--  Drillhole PLS13-107 was collared as a vertical hole and drilled to a
    depth of 402.0m. The collar is located approximately 15m grid west of
    PLS13-060. Basement was intersected at 56.0m. A quartzitic gneiss is
    present from 56.0m to 183.8m, which encompasses a pelitic gneiss unit
    from 67.8m to 128.6m. From 183.8m to 283.0m lithology is dominantly
    pelitic gneiss with a 41.5m wide interval of undifferentiated mylonites
    (233.7m to 275.2m). A semipelitic gneiss dominates from 283.0m to the
    end of hole depth of 402.0m. Anomalous radioactivity starts at 138.5m
    within the quartzitic gneiss. A total composite of 63.5m of
    mineralization within a 193.5m section (138.5m to 332.0m) occurs in
    several variably radioactive mineralized intervals ranging in width from
    0.5m to 24.5m. A total composite of 1.04m of off-scale radioactivity
    occurs in several discrete intervals ranging from 0.13m to 0.5m wide. 



Line 795E: 



--  Drillhole PLS13-097 was collared as a vertical hole and drilled to a
    depth of 356.0m. The collar is located approximately 15m grid east of
    PLS13-060. Basement was intersected at 55.8m. A quartzitic gneiss with
    minor pegmatite and mylonite intervals is present from 55.8m to 183.9m
    that encompasses a pelitic gneiss unit from 76.6m to 85.4m. From 183.9m
    to the end of hole depth of 356.0m lithology is dominantly pelitic
    gneiss with occasional intervals of undifferentiated mylonites (1.1m to
    2.4m wide). Anomalous radioactivity begins at 74.5m in proximity to the
    contact between the quartzitic gneiss and pelitic gneiss. A total
    composite of 82.0m of mineralization within a 180.0m section (74.5m to
    254.5m) occurs in several variably radioactive mineralized intervals
    ranging in width from 0.5m to 49.5m. A total composite of 6.48m of off-
    scale radioactivity occurs in several discrete intervals ranging from
    0.1m to 3.63m wide. 



Line 810E: Two vertically collared holes were drilled on line 810E



--  Drillhole PLS13-101 was collared as a vertical hole and drilled to a
    depth of 350.0m. The collar is located approximately 15m grid east of
    PLS13-097. Basement was intersected at 67.4m, which is 11.8m deeper than
    the depth of basement intersected in PLS13-097, which may represent an
    important structural feature. From 67.4m to 192.6m lithology is pelitic
    gneiss with occasional pegmatite injections up to 2.2m thick.
    Semipelitic gneiss was intersected from 192.6m to 275.6m, which is
    underlain by pelitic gneiss to 334.7m. From 334.7m to the end of hole
    depth of 350.0m a semipelitic gneiss dominates. Anomalous radioactivity
    starts at 69.5m within a pelitic gneiss, which is an unusually shallow
    depth to mineralization for the R780E zone. A total composite of 96.0m
    of mineralization within a 230.0m section (69.5m to 299.5m) occurs in
    several variably radioactive mineralized intervals ranging in width from
    0.5m to 35.0m. A total composite of 0.51m of off-scale radioactivity
    occurs in several discrete narrow intervals ranging from 0.10m to 0.17m
    wide. 

--  Drillhole PLS13-108 was collared as a vertical hole and drilled to a
    depth of 392.0m. The collar is located approximately 10m grid north of
    PLS13-101. Basement was intersected at 58.3m, which is 9.1m shallower
    than the depth of basement intersected in PLS13-101. An alternating
    sequence of quartzitic and pelitic gneiss was encountered from 58.3m to
    206.1m, which is underlain by semipelitic gneiss to 230.3m. From 230.3m
    to 332.4m lithology is dominantly pelitic gneiss with occasional
    intervals of undifferentiated mylonites (4.1m to 11.9m wide). From
    332.4m to the end of hole depth of 392.0m a semipelitic gneiss
    dominates. Anomalous radioactivity begins at 80.5m within the pelitic
    gneiss. A total composite of 105.5m of mineralization within a 195.5m
    section (80.5m to 276.0m) occurs in several variably radioactive

Line 1155E

Line 1155E is located approximately 195m grid east of the R945E zone. Drilling
of two holes (PLS13-090 and 103) was a follow-up test of a subtle radon in water
anomaly identified during the Phase 2 EIC radon in water and sediment survey
completed during April 2013, by RadonEx Exploration Management of St. Lazare,
Quebec. This anomaly lies along an ENE trend, in proximity to the PL-3B EM
conductor and on trend with the five PLS mineralized zones (R00E, R390E, R585E,
R780E, and R945E) that remain open in all directions. Drilling on line 1155E
extends the mineralization at PLS to a 1.23km strike length. Although neither
drill hole encountered strong mineralization, both encountered significant
widths of anomalous radioactivity in a geologic setting similar to the
high-grade zones to the west. The very large mineralizing system at PLS remains
open to the east, which reinforces that further drilling is required from the
ice surface available during the 2014 drill to evaluate line 1155E.


Line 1155E: Two vertically collared holes were drilled on line 1155E



--  Drillhole PLS13-090 was collared as a vertical hole and drilled to a
    depth of 323.0m. Basement was intersected at 62.0m. A quartzitic gneiss
    is present from 62.0m to 96.7m. From 96.7m to 314.3m the lithology is
    comprised of alternating sequences of pelitic, quartzitic, and
    semipelitic units. A diabase unit was encountered from 314.3m to the end
    of hole depth of 323.0m. A weak radioactive mineralized interval is
    present over a continuous 12.5m interval from 189.5m to 202.0m within a
    semipelitic gneiss, with a range of less than 300 to 1600 cps. 

--  Drillhole PLS13-103 was collared as a vertical hole and drilled to a
    depth of 427.0m. The collar was located 10m south of PLS13-090.
    Quartzitic gneiss was encountered from 62.4m to 111.7m, which was
    underlain by alternating pelitic gneiss, mylonite, and semipelitic
    gneiss units to 304.6m. From 304.6m to the end of hole depth of 427.0m a
    semipelitic gneiss dominates. A total composite of 15.5m of
    mineralization within a 34.5m section (175.0m to 209.5m) occurs in
    several weakly radioactive mineralized intervals ranging in width from
    1.0m to 6.5m. A deeper and narrow 1.0m weakly radioactive interval was
    intersected at 365.5m.

A $9.2M, 14,700m drill program and ground geophysics surveys continues at PLS.
Barge-based lake drilling is now complete. The program's remaining holes will be
land-based.


Natural gamma radiation in drill core that is reported in this news release was
measured in counts per second (cps) using a hand held Exploranium GR-110G total
count gamma-ray scintillometer. The reader is cautioned that scintillometer
readings, like the down hole gamma probe readings, are not directly or uniformly
related to uranium grades of the rock sample measured, and should be used only
as a preliminary indication of the presence of radioactive materials. The degree
of radioactivity within the mineralized intervals is highly variable and
associated with visible pitchblende mineralization. All intersections are
down-hole, core interval measurements and true thickness is yet to be
determined. 


Radiometric surveys are planned for all holes using a Mount Sopris 2GHF-1000
Triple Gamma probe, which allows for more accurate measurements in high grade
mineralized zones. 


Split core samples from the mineralized section of core will be taken
continuously through the mineralized intervals and submitted to SRC
Geoanalytical Laboratories (an SCC ISO/IEC 17025: 2005 Accredited Facility) of
Saskatoon for analysis, which includes U and fire assay for gold. All samples
sent for analysis will include a 63 element ICP-OES, uranium by ICP-MS and
boron. Assay results will be released when received.
