Alpha Exploration Ltd. announced the start of drilling at the large Aburna Gold Prospect ("Aburna") on the Company's 100% owned, 771km2 Kerkasha Project located in Eritrea. Up to 10,000 metres of drilling, split into two separate 5,000m programs, is planned at Aburna. Drilling will include both diamond ("DD") and reverse circulation ("RC") drilling.

Additional exploration work is also on-going at Aburna including trenching of high-priority surface geochemical targets and metallurgical testwork. Drilling to define primary mineralized lenses across Aburna prior to resource drilling Program focused on Hill 52, Northeast and Central Areas covering >2km of mineralized strike potential. Priority drill targets from recent geophysical programs also to be drill tested Alpha is fully funded to complete drilling at Aburna and additional exploration across the licence.

Drilling recently recommenced at Aburna and is targeting the extension of primary gold zones discovered at the Hill 52, Central and Northeast Area prospects where the Company has established multiple areas of significant gold mineralization including intercepts of 23m @ 6.34 g/t Au and 19m @ 5.19 g/t Au in Hill 52, 16m @ 14.07 g/t Au and 9m @ 10 g/t Au in Northeast Area and in 18 m @ 2.27 g/t Au and 34 m @ 1.50 g/t Au in Central Area. The objective of this focused phase of drilling at Aburna will be to define priority targets for resource definition drilling, planned to commence later in 2024 and subject to financing. At Hill 52, drilling will target both along strike and the potential for high grade mineralization to plunge to the north east, based on recent 3-D modelling by the Company.

The Company will also prioritize follow up to DD hole ABD008 from the most recent drilling at Hill 52, that intersected 3m @ 53.39 g/t Au (including 1m@ 158 g/t Au) and reported on November 14th (reports-drill-results-from-aburna-gold-prospect- includes-9m-10-g-t-gold/). In Central Area, drilling will target both the extension of existing high-grade mineralization along strike, and the potential for additional parallel mineralized structures. De De De Degeophysics is fully funded to undertake the 10,000m program at Aburna as well as advancing the other key prospects on the licence.
