Alpha Minerals (AMW-V), Fission Energy (FIS-V) drill 57.5 m of high-grade Uranium Feb 19, 2013 - News Release Alpha Minerals Inc. and its joint venture partner Fission Energy Corp. have released additional results from the core drill program at Patterson Lake in Saskatchewan. Hole PLS 13-038, located along the same conductor as adjacent to the discovery area (see news release dated Nov. 5, 2012), but 385 metres to the east, intersected two high-grade zones within an overall upper zone of 57.5 metres of strong mineralization and also a lower zone of 15.5 metres thickness of intermittent uranium mineralization. Due to the materiality of the most recent drilling of a target 385 metres east of the first discovery area, it was considered appropriate to release this information immediately. Results of delineation drilling west of the first discovery area as well as drilling in the area of targets on the lake on lines 90E and 105E will be released shortly when data compiling is completed. A continuing field program is in progress. Core drilling continues to delineate and define the mineralized region identified during the 2012 summer program. The drill hole location was selected from anomalous results in a recently completed radon survey of lake water. The survey results of note were as follows. RadonEx Exploration Management of Montreal were contracted to conduct a 191-station lake water and sediment radon survey over Patterson Lake, on strike to the east of the November, 2012, discovery area. Station spacing was generally 20 metres on 60-metre lines. Of note, three broad anomalous area were identified with values up to 11.4 picocuries per litre: a) 90 metres by 70 metres (L165E to L255E) and b) 240 metres by 140 metres (L300E to L540E). Drill hole PLS13-038 was targeted to test anomaly B. The third anomaly is located approximately 2.2 kilometres east of discovery hole PLS13-022 and will be drilled during this program. The higher-grade intervals in the drill hole are shown on the strip log showing the rock types on the left columns and the gamma counts per second in the solid red area of the strip log. The highest-point reading of the high-grade section was 76,233 counts per second. The high-grade section within the upper zone includes: 20 metres from 87 metres to 107 metres downhole greater than 10,000 counts per second; Including nine metres from 96 metres to 105 metres downhole greater than 45,000 counts per second. PLS13-038 intersected a thin cap of probable Devonian sandstone that overlies the semi-pelite gneiss hangingwall constraining an intercalated package of pelite and graphitic pelite gneiss. Occasional pegmatite injections were observed throughout the pelite, graphitic pelite and semi-pelite units. Strong visible mineralization occurs as flecks, blebs, clots, veins and semi-massive intervals of pitchblende. Of note, wormhole-style mineralization was observed for the first time. Moderate to strong clay, chlorite and hematite alteration were observed throughout the mineralization. The reader is cautioned that the count-per-second readings are not directly or uniformly related to uranium grades of the rock sample measured, and should be used only as a preliminary indication of the presence of radioactive materials. The degree of radioactivity within the mineralized intervals is normally variable and associated with visible pitchblende mineralization. All intersections are downhole; core interval measurements and true thickness are yet to be determined. The gamma log was the result of a radiometric surveyed with the Mount Sopris 2GHF-1000 triple gamma probe over the highly radioactive zones. This tool can return more accurate measurements in high-grade mineralized zones and samples a larger volume of rock than the hand-held scintillometer. Patterson Lake South property The 31,039-hectare PLS project is a 50/50 joint venture held by Alpha Minerals and Fission Energy. Fission is the operator. PLS is accessible by road via all-weather Highway 955, which runs north to the former Cluff Lake mine (greater than 60 million pounds of triuranium octoxide produced), and passes through the nearby UEX-Areva Shea Creek discoveries located 50 kilometres to the north, currently under active exploration and development. Updated maps highlighting the successful 2012 fall drill program at PLS can be found on the company's website. The technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with the Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101 and reviewed on behalf of the company by Garrett Ainsworth, PGeo (British Columbia), vice-president of exploration for Alpha Minerals, a qualified person for the company.
