Drilling Underway at Alpha's Middle Lake Project, Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan
10 Février 2015 - 3:02PM
ALPHA EXPLORATION INC. ("
Alpha"
or the "
Company") (TSX-V:AEX) is pleased to
announce that drilling has begun at its Middle Lake Property
("Middle Lake" or the "Property") adjacent to the former Cluff Lake
uranium mine in the western Athabasca Basin of northern
Saskatchewan.
Approximately 2,500 metres of diamond drilling is planned in up
to 25 holes located around Skull Lake in the northwestern part of
the Property. Three separate targets will be tested which integrate
gravity, electromagnetic and magnetic features as well as
geochemical anomalies, including high-grade uranium boulders.
Overall, the exploration target at Middle Lake is near surface,
basement-hosted uranium mineralization similar to that mined by
both open pit and underground methods at the nearby Cluff Lake
deposits.
Infill and extension gravity and radon surveys initiated during
camp mobilization (see Alpha news release dated January 22, 2015)
have been completed. The drilling now underway is anticipated
to take approximately four weeks to complete.
Please see the Company's website at www.alpha-aex.com for
property location maps and summary exploration figures for Middle
Lake, including proximity to the Cluff Lake deposits (see Cluff
Lake Region map).
About Middle Lake Property

Middle Lake is a joint venture with Acme Resources Inc., which
holds a 20 percent carried interest. Please see the Company's
website at www.alpha-aex.com for details of the option

pit mines and four underground mines by predecessors of AREVA
Resources Canada Inc. ("AREVA") (see AREVA website at
www.areva.com).
The Property is approximately 10 km north of the Shea Creek
uranium deposits currently being explored by AREVA and UEX
