Alpha Exploration Ltd. announced results from its recent drilling program completed over the district scale Aburna Gold Prospect (?Aburna?) on the Company's 100% owned, 771km² Kerkasha Project located in southern Eritrea. Aburna is an orogenic-style gold prospect stretching approximately 7km northeast and 2km wide based on promoted gold in soils, geological mapping, trenching and geophysical surveys as well as localized drilling. To date, Alpha's exploration has established 6 different priority targets at Aburna.

These latest results are from 33 holes (5,565 meters) drilled in 4 of these priority targets, mostly from the Northeast Area (17 holes), 8 holes from the Central Area, 7 from the Celebration Hill Area and 1 one from the Hill 52 Area. The purpose of this latest drilling program was to gain a greater understanding of the controls of mineralization in the 4 areas drilled and to try and establish strike continuity by drilling a number of ?scout holes? with a large step-out from known gold mineralization.

In the Northeast Area prospect this drilling has been successful in supporting the potential for a 1.2km long mineralized target as identified from recent GAIP (Gradient Array Induced Polarization) and ground magnetics surveys. Within this 1.2km long target, drillhole ABR078 (9m @ 5.99 g/t Au) has extended a significant ?shoot? of gold mineralization to over 200m in length and as defined previously in drillholes ABR037 (16m @ 14.0 g/t Au) ABR043 (11m @ 3.99 g.t Au) and ABR044 (13m @ 4.24 g/t Au).

In addition, drillhole ABR092 (9m @ 10 g/t Au) along with a prior reported hole from this program ABR069 (6m @ 5 g/t Au) have now indicated a separate, mineralized structure over 200m in strike length. Separately, drillhole ANR079 (30m @ 0.48 g/t Au) has extended mineralization by 400m along the main 1.2km trend in Northeast Area. Follow up trenching has now been completed on these targets with results expected in due course.

HIGHLIGHTS: 9 meters averaging 5.99 g/t gold from drillhole ABR078 (Northeast Area); 9 meters averaging 10.00 g/t gold from drillhole ABR092 (Northeast Area); 3 metres averaging 53.39 g/t gold from drillhole ABD008 (Northeast Area); 2 significant mineralized structures defined at Northeast Area >400m in combined strike Length; Drilling supports the potential of 1.2km mineralized target in Northeast Area.
