Alpha Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:AMW)(FRANKFURT:E2GA), (the "Company" or
"Alpha"), and its 50% Joint Venture partner Fission Uranium Corp are pleased to
report assay results from hole PLS13-080 on line 780E of the R780E zone, at
their Patterson Lake South (PLS) property, Northern Saskatchewan. The hole
returned nine mineralized intervals, highlighted by 43.0m of 6.93% U3O8
including 14.0m of 15.63% U3O8 and 2.0m of 26.73% U3O8. With a Grade x Thickness
(GT) value of 298.0 for this main mineralized interval, this is now the best
mineralized hole to date at the R780E zone and shows this zone is delivering
high grade results similar to the R390E zone. 


Assay Highlights



--  43.0m (130.0m to 173.0m) of 6.93% U3O8, including: 
    --  2.0m (144.0m to 146.0m) of 26.73% U308 
    --  14.0m (155.0m to 169.0m) of 15.63% U3O8 
    --  Highest assay in the interval: 49.8% U3O8 over 0.5m (145.0m -
        145.5m)



Composited U3O8 mineralized intervals are summarized in Table 1 below. Samples
from the drill core are split in half on site. Where possible, samples are
standardized at 0.5m down-hole intervals. One-half of the split sample is sent
to the laboratory for analysis and the other half remains on site for reference.
All depth measurements reported, including sample and interval widths are
down-hole, core interval measurements and true thickness are yet to be
determined.


Drillhole PLS13-080 was collared as a vertical hole and was completed at a depth
of 347.0m. Mineralized zones as defined by assays of greater than 0.05% U3O8
over greater than 0.5m are present in discrete intervals over a 194.0m wide
section (125.0m - 319.0m) each ranging in width from 0.5m to 43.0m wide. The
main mineralized horizon was encountered from 130.0m - 173.0m and returned a
composited interval of 6.93% U3O8 over 43.0m, including two high-grade cores
(144.0m - 146.0m and 155.0m - 169.0m) that returned 26.73% U3O8 over 2.0m and
15.63% U3O8 over 14.0m respectively. Basement bedrock was encountered at 54.0m
depth, immediately below the overburden with no Devonian sandstone encountered
above the basement. From 54.0m to 170.6m basement lithology consists
predominantly a quartzitic gneiss with sequences of moderate-to-steeply dipping
mylonites. Below 170.6m, the basement transitions to a pelitic gneiss with
alternating sequences of undifferentiated mylonites and pegmatite injections.
