Alpha Exploration Ltd. announced results from metallurgical test work completed on gold samples taken from the Aburna Gold Prospect on the Company's 100% owned, 771 km² Kerkasha Project located in Eritrea. The test work was undertaken at two independent laboratories to assess the amenability of gold recovery from Aburna sulphide bearing mineralisation. Metallurgical Testwork Programme: Leach & gravity testwork ?

Maelgwyn: Maelgwyn based in Gauteng, South Africa was commissioned by the Company to investigate the CIL amenability for the typical sulphide domains of Aburna. A total of four approx. 15 kg sulphide-bearing samples selected from various drillholes within Aburna were composited.

The head grade of the composite samples ranged from 3.41-36.8 g/t Au. The samples were submitted for separate gravity, flotation leach and industry standard cyanide leach techniques. Results of flotation tests: The test work generated a leach flotation concentrate from 68.04-81.9% to mass pulls of 10.8- 24.7%.

A flotation leach test is undertaken to investigate the production of a low mass pull pre- concentrate to minimise eventual plant operating costs and capital costs. Results of gravity tests: Gravity testing was completed using a bench test with 80% of material passing 212 m. Gold recoveries to these concentrates were relatively low ranging from 7.92-18.71%. Results of fine mineralisation leach tests on sulphide-bearing samples: Gold recovery on the whole leach tests reached 91.90% at a grind size of 75 m. Cyanide consumption for the tests was low, ranging from 0.37-0.59 kg/t NaCN.

Lime consumption ranged from 1.34 -1.62 kg/t CaO. From the three analyses completed, utilising traditional milled sample cyanide leaching delivered a superior result without the need for flotation or gravity processing. Screen Fire Assay and Cyanide Recoverable Gold: Results of cyanide recoverable gold (ALS method ME-CN15) compared to screen fire assay gold values (Au-SCR24) in gold samples collected from a range of lithologies, and across a grade range from 2.6- 131.5 g/t Au were consistent with the metallurgical results reported from Maelgwn herein and suggest minimal variability in cyanide-recoverable gold across the Aburna project area.

Trenching Programme: Assay results received from a series of 20 exploratory trenches totaling 967 metres across the Dasharna, North East areas and across the south west of Aburna have been received and did not intersect significant mineralisation.
