News - Alpha release - 390E zone extended by 255 metres Alpha Minerals JV has Strike Length Extension of the R390E Zone to 255m at PLS, Athabasca Basin
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Sept. 27, 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 an additional eight holes drilled on the R390E zone. With a new strike length of approximately 255m, the R390E zone has more than quadrupled in length since the winter 2013 program. Holes PLS13-095 and PLS13-102 are of particular note with 61.5m (within 61.5m to 158.5m depth interval) and 59.0m (within 93.0m to 186m depth interval) total composite mineralization respectively, including narrow intervals of "off-scale" radioactivity.
Holes PLS13-087A, PLS13-088, PLS13-091, PLS13-093, PLS13-094, PLS13-095, PLS13-100 and PLS13-102 tested lines 225E, 300E, 450E and 480E of the R390E zone. All holes intersected zones of mineralization with varying degrees of radioactivity.
Drilling Highlights include:
Increased strike length of the R390E zone from 60m at the end of the winter 2013 drill program to presently 255m and remains open
The width of the R390E zone also remains open with line (390E) showing a width of over 40m
PLS13-095 (line 300E) intersected 61.5m total composite mineralization within a 97.0m section (61.5m to 158.5m), including narrow intervals of off-scale
PLS13-102 (line 300E) intersected 59.0m total composite mineralization within a 93.0m section (93.0m to 186.0m), including narrow intervals of off-scale
Drill hole PLS13-091 intersected mineralization approximately 20m south of the PL-3B ground EM conductor axis. This is the first mineralized intersection south of the ground conductor axis, and increases the possibility of extending the zone laterally to the south along the entire length of the corridor as it becomes further delineated.
