Alpha Response to Fission Proposal

Alpha Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:AMW)(FRANKFURT:E2GA), (the "Company" or
"Alpha"), confirms that it received on Friday August 23, 2013 at 4.00 pm
(Pacific Standard Time) a non-binding proposal from Fission Uranium Corp.
("Fission"), its joint venture partner on the Patterson Lake South Project
("PLS"), on which Fission would be prepared to consider making an offer to
acquire all of the outstanding shares of Alpha (the "Proposal"). The Proposal,
which is described in a news release issued by Fission earlier today, stipulated
that it would expire on Sunday, August 25th at 5.00 pm (Eastern Standard Time)
(the "Expiry Time"). 


Alpha has formed a special committee comprised of three (3) independent
directors, and has engaged Raymond James Ltd. as its financial advisor. Miller
Thomson LLP are legal counsel to Alpha and Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP is
legal advisor to the special committee.


After a careful review of the Proposal by the Alpha directors and its special
committee together with their legal and financial advisors, Alpha provided
Fission with a written response prior to the Expiry Time advising that the
timing of the Proposal provided little opportunity for Alpha to consider the
complex structure and content of the Proposal. Alpha also raised concerns about
the timing of the Proposal in relation to the on-going active and very material
drill program at PLS. In light of these considerations, Alpha requested
additional time from Fission beyond the Expiry Time to consider the Proposal and
its implications to the Alpha shareholders. 


Alpha has been an active participant in an ongoing dialogue with Fission over
the past several months regarding consolidation. Alpha and its team of financial
and legal advisors wish to review further the interest expressed by Fission in
their Proposal forwarded on Friday. Alpha and its advisors look forward to
continuing this dialogue with Fission on the matter of consolidating PLS, and
maximizing shareholder value. Alpha will continue to update its shareholders on
the progress of the Proposal as and when information is available.
