Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - October 6, 2026) - Alpha Exploration Ltd. (TSXV: ALEX) ("Alpha" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a second batch of results from its ongoing exploration drilling programme at the Aburna Gold Project.
These new results relate to a total of 2,350.20 metres ("m"), including both core and reverse-circulation ("RC") drilling, completed largely at the Northeast prospect expansion area, with additional first-pass RC drill testing of the Far Southwest and IP targets. All the drilling is located within the highly prospective but under-explored Aburna corridor. In this gold corridor, Alpha has already discovered the Hill 52, Central, Northeast and Obok prospects, which host numerous shallow, high-grade gold intercepts.
HIGHLIGHTS of 2026 NORTHEAST PROSPECT DRILLING RESULTS TO DATE
ABD031: 19.00 m grading 3.18 grams per tonnes ("g/t") gold
Including: 7.00 m grading 7.09 g/t gold
ABD033: 12.00 m grading 1.53 g/t gold
Including: 8.00 m grading 2.22 g/t gold
ABD034: 13.00 m grading 1.53 g/t gold
Including: 6.00 m grading 3.01 g/t gold
These drill intercepts have increased the footprint of the gold mineralization at the Northeast prospect and indicate its strong potential for additional expansion
FURTHER HIGHLIGHTS from 2026 GREATER ABURNA CORRIDOR EXPLORATION DRILLING RESULTS TO DATE
ABR213: 8.00 m grading 0.64 g/t gold
Including: 4.00 m grading 0.81 g/t gold
Far Southwest ("FSW") target returns gold mineralized intercept some 1.7 kilometres ("km") along trend from Hill 52 prospect
John Wilton, CEO of Alpha, stated: "We are very motivated by this second batch of 2026 drilling results from our Aburna Gold Project. At the Northeast prospect the results have provided several positive outcomes. Drill hole ABD031 intersected 7 m grading 7.09 g/t gold within 19 m grading 3.18 g/t gold and ABD034 returned 6 m grading 3.01 g/t gold within 13 m grading 1.53 g/t gold. These drill holes indicate the growth of the gold mineralization footprint at the Northeast prospect and show the potential for its continued expansion into untested areas. Also, the drilling has identified new shallow zones of gold mineralization in the west of the prospect, with multiple drill-hole intercepts, including ABD033 with 8 m grading 2.22 g/t gold within 12 m grading 1.53 g/t gold from approximately 20 m below surface. These zones of gold mineralization, also intersected in drill holes ABR192 and ABR194, remain open further to the west.
