Alpha Minerals JV Intersects 34.5m of 8.15% U3O8 Starting at 61.0m in Drill Hole PLS13-072 at PLS, Athabasca Basin

Alpha Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:AMW)(FRANKFURT:E2GA), (the "Company" or
"Alpha"), and its 50% Joint Venture partner Fission Uranium Corp. are pleased to
report assay results from holes PLS13-072 (line 345E) and PLS13-073 (line 435E)
drilled on the Western and Eastern regions of the R390E zone, at their Patterson
Lake South (PLS) property, Saskatchewan. The main zone of mineralization for
PLS13-072 returned an interval of 8.15% U3O8 over 34.5m, including a higher
grade core of 19.28% U3O8 over 7.5m. With an overall Grade x Thickness (GT)
value of 281.2 for the near surface interval, this hole ranks amongst the best
mineralized holes to date at PLS. 


Assay Highlights



--  PLS13-072 
    --  34.5m @ 8.15% U3O8 (61.0m - 95.5m) with GT 281.2, including: 
        --  7.50m @ 19.28% U3O8 (65.5m - 73.0m) 
        --  21.53% U3O8 over 4m (91.0m - 95.0m) 
    --  Highest assay of 47.0% U3O8 (68.5m - 69.0m) 



Composited U3O8 mineralized intervals are summarized in Table 1 below. Samples
from the drill core are split in half on site. Where possible, samples are
standardized at 0.5m down-hole intervals. One-half of the split sample is sent
to the laboratory for analysis and the other half remains on site for reference.
All depth measurements reported, including sample and interval widths are
down-hole, core interval measurements and true thickness are yet to be
determined.

Drillhole PLS13-072 (line 330E) was collared as a vertical hole and was
completed at a depth of 209.0m. Mineralized zones as defined by assays of
greater than 0.05% U3O8 over greater than 0.5m are present in discrete intervals
over a 105.5m wide section (61.0m - 166.5m) each ranging in width from 0.5m to
34.5m wide. The main mineralized horizon was encountered from 61.0m - 95.5m and
returned a composited interval of 8.15% U3O8 over 34.5m, including a high-grade
core (65.5m - 73.0m) that returned 19.28% U3O8 over 7.5m. Basement bedrock was
encountered at 55.7m depth, immediately below the overburden with no Devonian
sandstone encountered above the basement. From 55.7m to 163.0m basement
lithology consists of alternating sequences of moderate-to-steeply dipping
pelitic gneiss and mylonites. Below 163.0m, the basement transitions to a
semi-pelitic gneiss. 


Drillhole PLS13-073 (line 435E) was collared as a vertical hole and was
completed at a depth of 248.0m. Two zones of mineralization were intersected:
19.5m @ 0.25% U3O8 (102.0m - 121.5m) and 10.0m @ 0.59% U3O8 (132.5m to 142.5m. A
thin cap of Devonian sandstone was encountered from 50.0m to 53.0m, overlying a
quartz-feldspar granofel to a depth of 90.1m. The quartz-feldspar granofel was
underlain by alternating sequence of pelitic gneiss and mylonites to the end of
hole depth of 248.0m. The foliated pelitic gneiss and mylonite sequence is
moderately clay altered to 226.0m and sulphide bearing from 235.5m to 248.0m.

Patterson Lake South Property

The 31,000 hectare (76,000 acres) PLS project is a 50%/50% Joint Venture held by
Alpha Minerals Inc (AMW) and Fission Uranium (FCU). The Joint Venture property
is 100% owned with no underlying royalties or vendor payments. For the present
work, the exploration is still being operated as a Joint Venture under the
direction of the Joint Venture Management Committee with Fission Uranium acting
as the operator and further work is still planned by the Joint Venture Committee
for targets on land to the SW of the discovery zone R00E. 


The property is accessible by road with primary access from all-weather Highway
955, which runs 74km north to the former Cluff Lake mine, (greater than 60M lbs
of U3O8 produced from multiple open pit and underground mines), and passes
through the claims covering the UEX-Areva Shea Creek discoveries located 58km to
the north, currently under active exploration and development.
