More good news Alpha Minerals JV Hits 13.41m Total Composite "Off-Scale" Radioactivity in 48.5m of Mineralization 780 Meters East of Discovery Zone
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Aug. 12, 2013) - 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 hole PLS13-080 at R780E Zone, Patterson Lake South ("PLS"), the first hole drilled on the R780E zone this program. With 13.41m composite off-scale (>9999 cps) mineralization, including 7.6m continuous off-scale, PLS13-080 has returned radioactive results indicating the widest continuous and strongest uranium mineralization encountered so far at the 780E Zone.
The hole, which is located approximately 10m grid south of PLS13-060 (line 780E), has delivered mineralized intersections that appear similar to many of those encountered at the R390E Zone, such as hole PLS13-038 which assayed 4.92% U3O8 over 34.0m (see news release March 24, 2013).
PLS13-080 Drilling Highlights include:
Multiple zones of basement mineralization from 122.5m - 318.5m
Main Zone - 48.5m (122.5m - 171.0m) wide broad zone of variable radioactivity from moderate-to-strong separated by narrow intervals of barren rock (0.5m - 2.0m wide) including:
39.0m wide interval (128.0m - 167.0m) of well-developed mineralization including:
13.41m total composite off-scale (>9999 cps) radioactivity in several discrete intervals including:
7.6m of continuous off-scale (>9999 cps) radioactivity.
Several narrower intervals of mineralized anomalous radioactivity from 201.5m - 318.5m, including:
11.5m wide interval (236.0m - 247.5m) of moderate to locally strong radioactivity, including:
0.3m of off-scale (>9999 cps) radioactivity.
Extends the width of the R780E zone to approximately 45m on line 780E.
