Alpha Expands Anagulu Porphyry Mineralisation with Drill Intercept of 120 metres Grading 0.30% Copper and 0.47 g/t Gold

Executive Summary

• Alpha Exploration released the first batch of results from a 1,585 m drilling program (597 m RC and 988 m diamond core) at the Anagulu copper‑gold porphyry in Eritrea.
• Hole ANRD049 returned a notable intercept of 120 m grading 0.30 % Cu and 0.47 g/t Au, including higher‑grade sub‑intervals (69 m @ 0.38 % Cu, 0.66 g/t Au; 17 m @ 0.51 % Cu, 0.84 g/t Au).
• The mineralised porphyry unit now extends at least 120 m along trend and is mapped to the surface southwest, expanding the projected exploration footprint to roughly 4 km × 2 km.

Key Details

• Drilling Program: 1,585 m total (597 m RC, 988 m DC) completed late‑2025/early‑2026.
• Hole ANRD049 Results:
• Total width: 120 m @ 0.30 % Cu, 0.47 g/t Au (depth 279–399 m).
• Sub‑intervals: 69 m @ 0.38 % Cu, 0.66 g/t Au (302–371 m); 17 m @ 0.51 % Cu, 0.84 g/t Au (304–321 m).
• True Width Estimate: 50‑70 % of reported intersections; cut‑off grade applied at 0.10 % Cu with ≤5 m internal dilution.
• Geological Context: Intercept extends the quartz‑diorite porphyry unit northeastward; same unit outcrops to the southwest, indicating surface continuity.
• Exploration Footprint: Current mineralised zone ~2 km × 0.5 km; with termite‑mound geochemistry and mapping, target area expands to ~4 km × 2 km.
• Future Work: Shallow, cost‑effective Rotary Air Blast (RAB) drilling planned in the next weeks to test ~2 km of additional targets northeast of the current drill hole; results will guide subsequent RC and DC programs.
• Quality Assurance/Control: Samples assayed by Intertek Minerals Ltd. (Tarkwa, Ghana); preparation by NABRO (Asmara, Eritrea). QA/QC includes duplicate samples, certified reference material, blanks, and pXRF checks in the field.
• Qualified Person: John Wilton, CGeol FGS, CEO & Director of Alpha Exploration, NI 43‑101 qualified.

Notable Quotes

“These new drilling results provide a number of important positive factors for the Anagulu Copper‑Gold Porphyry Project… The ANRD049 drill intersection… demonstrates that the spine of the mineralisation… has been extended at least 120 metres along trend.” – John Wilton, CEO
