More good news ... ... at some point the rubber has to hit the road on all these phenomenal drill results. Here is what is out today:
Alpha Minerals JV Intersects 43.0m of 6.93% U3O8 Including 14.0m of 15.63% U3O8 at R780E Zone, PLS, Athabasca Basin
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Oct. 17, 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 hole PLS13-080 on line 780E of the R780E zone, at their Patterson Lake South (PLS) property, Northern Saskatchewan. The hole returned nine mineralized intervals, highlighted by 43.0m of 6.93% U3O8 including 14.0m of 15.63% U3O8 and 2.0m of 26.73% U3O8. With a Grade x Thickness (GT) value of 298.0 for this main mineralized interval, this is now the best mineralized hole to date at the R780E zone and shows this zone is delivering high grade results similar to the R390E zone.
Assay Highlights
43.0m (130.0m to 173.0m) of 6.93% U3O8, including:
2.0m (144.0m to 146.0m) of 26.73% U308
14.0m (155.0m to 169.0m) of 15.63% U3O8
Highest assay in the interval: 49.8% U3O8 over 0.5m (145.0m - 145.5m)
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.
