Alpha Minerals JV Intersects Largest Accumulation of Total Composite Mineralization to Date at PLS

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 drill hole PLS13-099 on line 960E, which is the easternmost
hole of the R945E zone. With 144.0m total composite mineralization, including
8.0m total composite off-scale radioactivity, the new hole represents the
largest accumulation of mineralized intervals in any drill hole at PLS to date.
Of additional note, the PLS discovery now has high-grade mineralization on
trend, along a strike length of 1.035km. 


PLS13-099 Drilling Highlights include:



--  144.0m total composite mineralization within 180.0m section (101.0m -
    281.0m) 
--  8.0m of total composite off-scale (greater than 9999 cps) radioactivity
    in several discrete intervals ranging from 0.1m to 1.7m each (169.5m -
    257.0m) 
--  Extends on trend strike length of PLS discovery to 1.035km



Composited uranium 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.


R945E Zone:

The R945E zone discovery was the result of follow-up by drilling of a radon in
water anomaly identified during the Phase 2 EIC radon in water and sediment
survey completed during April 2013 by RadonEx. The radon anomaly is the
strongest radon in water anomaly to date (see News Release May 6, 2013). This
anomaly lies along an ENE trend, parallel to the PL-3B EM conductor. To date,
four holes have been drilled into the R945E zone, including PLS13-099 and all
four holes have been well mineralized over significant widths. With 144.0m of
total composite mineralization, PLS13-099 represents the widest accumulation of
mineralization in the R945E zone.


Hole PLS13-099 (line 960E) was collared as a vertical hole and completed to a
depth of 368.0m. The hole is located approximately 15m grid east of hole
PLS13-084 (18.0m of mineralization with 2.7m total composite off-scale - see
news release August 15, 2013). A total of 5 discrete intervals of variably
moderate to strongly radioactive mineralization occurred within a 180.0m section
(101.0m to 281.0m) in widths ranging from 1.0m to 105.0m. Three of these
intervals contain discrete intervals of off-scale (greater than 9999 cps)
radioactivity from 0.1m to 1.7m wide, for a total measured composite of 8.0m of
off-scale radioactivity. Basement bedrock was encountered at 59.8m below the
surface. The upper part of the lithologic sequence (59.8m to 105.4m) is
comprised of a quartzitic gneiss. From 105.4m to 270.1m a pelitic gneiss
dominates with local narrow intervals (up to 7.4m wide) of undifferentiated
mylonite and cataclasite, transitioning to a semi-pelitic gneiss from 270.1m to
the end of hole depth of 368.0m. Moderate chlorite alteration is present
throughout the hole, with hematitic clay dominating from 168.5m to 230.7m.
Sulphide bearing intervals occur from 213.5m to 221.0m.

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

as the operator.


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.
