Executive Summary
- Alpha Exploration Ltd. announced the appointment of John Wilton as full-time CEO, succeeding interim CEO Tim Livesey.
- The company reported new positive results from shallow Rotary Air Blast (RAB) drilling at the Aburna gold project in Eritrea, indicating an expanding footprint of gold mineralization.
- The RAB program identified new target anomalies ranging from 0.26 g/t to 9.76 g/t gold, with 796 holes completed to date, supporting the potential for larger plunging shoots at depth.
Key Details
- CEO Appointment: John Wilton appointed as full-time CEO; Tim Livesey steps down as interim CEO but remains a director.
- Drilling Program Status: 796 RAB holes completed; final batch received end of September 2025.
- Target Footprints: New targets range from 125 to 450 metres along trend, situated between Central/Northeast prospects and northwest/west of Hill 52 prospect.
- RAB Assay Results:
- Target anomalies range from 0.26 g/t to 9.76 g/t gold.
- Entire dataset ranges from <0.004 g/t to 9.76 g/t gold.
- Anomalies supported by samples >0.1 g/t and >0.25 g/t gold.
- Geological Interpretation: Results suggest immature/partially transported soil cover, allowing cost-effective testing of satellite targets and extensions. Targets may represent shallow expressions of larger plunging shoots/zones at depth.
- Future Plans: Company plans to complete infill RAB drilling lines to define targets for prioritization ahead of follow-up Reverse Circulation (RC) or core drilling.
- Previous High-Grade Intersections (Context):
- Aburna: 18m at 15.33 g/t Au; 16m at 14.07 g/t Au; 9m at 10 g/t Au; 23m at 6.74 g/t Au.
- Anagulu: 108m at 1.24 g/t Au and 0.60% Cu; 49m at 2.42 g/t Au and 1.10% Cu.
- QA/QC: Samples analyzed by Intertek Minerals Ltd. (Tarkwa, Ghana). Fire assay (FA) and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) finish. QA/QC samples inserted every 20th field sample.
- Qualified Person: Chris Bargmann, CGeol, FGS, reviewed and approved technical data.
