News - 390E assays Alpha Minerals JV Intersects 34.5m of 8.15% U3O8 Starting at 61.0m in Drill Hole PLS13-072 at PLS, Athabasca Basin
VANCOUVER, CANADA--(Marketwired - Sept. 25, 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 report assay results from holes PLS13-072 (line 345E) and PLS13-073 (line 435E) drilled on the Western and Eastern regions of the R390E zone, at their Patterson Lake South (PLS) property, Saskatchewan. The main zone of mineralization for PLS13-072 returned an interval of 8.15% U3O8 over 34.5m, including a higher grade core of 19.28% U3O8 over 7.5m. With an overall Grade x Thickness (GT) value of 281.2 for the near surface interval, this hole ranks amongst the best mineralized holes to date at PLS.
Assay Highlights
PLS13-072
34.5m @ 8.15% U3O8 (61.0m - 95.5m) with GT 281.2, including:
7.50m @ 19.28% U3O8 (65.5m - 73.0m)
21.53% U3O8 over 4m (91.0m - 95.0m)
Highest assay of 47.0% U3O8 (68.5m - 69.0m)
Composited U3O8 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.
