# Alpha Announces Second Batch of 2025 Drill Results, Including 10 Metres Grading 3.12 g/t Gold, from the Aburna Gold Project Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/alpha-announces-second-batch-of-2025-drill-results-including-10-metres-grading-3--96fdf874-0c55-4b86-9a1c-631973f7d2aa Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/ALEX/news/8128636633381610/alpha-announces-second-batch-of-2025-drill-results-including-10-metres-grading-3 Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-02-04T09:24:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Alpha Exploration Ltd. - Ticker: ALEX - Exchange: TSX - Region: Eritrea - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: None reported - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-09-13 11:11:05 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.70 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Alpha Exploration Ltd. announced positive drill results from its Aburna Gold Project in Eritrea, including 10 metres grading 3.12 g/t gold and a high-grade intercept of 16.61 g/t gold over 1 metre. These results, part of the 2025 exploration program, confirm the tenor of the gold system and extend mineralization to at least 150 metres vertical depth. The company also provided detailed QA/QC information and estimates for true widths of the intersections. Reasoning: The drill results are positive, confirming high-grade gold mineralization and extending the known footprint at depth through successful step-out drilling. The company provides good disclosure on QA/QC and true width estimates, enhancing confidence in the results. - Positive factor: High-grade intercepts, including 16.61 g/t Au over 1m and 12.91 g/t Au over 1m. - Positive factor: Step-out drilling successfully extended mineralization to at least 150m vertical depth. - Positive factor: QA/QC procedures are disclosed, including accredited labs and use of blanks, standards, and duplicates. - Positive factor: True width estimates are provided, ranging between 70% and 90% of drilled intersections. - Negative factor: True width is an estimate, not a precise measurement for each intercept. Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source. Facts used in scoring: 14 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: The intercept in hole ABD026 of 1.0m at 16.61 g/t gold is well above the exceptional threshold for gold \(5 g/t\) in a porphyry-style deposit. Evidence · table > 16.61 Context: 1.00 **True Width Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Actual thickness perpendicular to structure is stated, not just downhole length. Why it applies: The document states that 'true widths range between 70% and 90% of the drilled intersections'. Evidence · text > Based upon current data and interpretation it is estimated true widths range between 70% and 90% of the drilled intersections. **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Hole ABRD189 represents an approximately 100 metre step out, extending mineralization to at least 150 metres vertical depth. Evidence · text > Figure 1 shows the location of ABRD189 on cross section SS-2080 at the Hill 52 prospect. It represents an approximately 100 metre step out, to the southeast, along this section line. **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: The release details QA/QC procedures, including the use of an independent accredited laboratory \(Intertek\), sample preparation by NABRO, and the insertion of duplicate samples, certified reference materials \(OREAS\), and blanks. Evidence · text > The results reported here for the Reverse Circulation \("RC"\) and Diamond Core \("DC"\) drilling were analysed by Intertek Minerals Ltd., an independent and accredited laboratory located in Tarkwa, Ghana. ... Alpha uses an independent laboratory in Asmara \(NABRO\) to prepare drill samples for assaying. ... The Company uses appropriate duplicate samples and inserts certified reference material from OREAS \( www.ore.com.au \) into the sample stream. NABRO sample preparation facility inserts barren granodiorite material into the sample stream as blanks. **Compositing Transparent** Polarity: positive Definition: Cut-off grade and internal dilution rules are clearly stated for reported intervals. Why it applies: The document specifies a nominal cut-off grade of 0.20 g/t Au with no more than 3 metres of internal dilution, and a specific cut-off of 0.40 g/t Au with no more than 2 metres of internal dilution for one intercept. Evidence · text > A nominal cut-off grade of 0.20 g/t Au has been used to determine the boundaries of these intersections with no more than 3 metres of internal dilution of the intercepts. \*A nominal cut-off grade of 0.40 g/t Au has been used to determine the boundaries of these intersections with no more than 2 metres of internal dilution of the intercept. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 14.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
