## Minestarters Atlas summary

Alpha Exploration Ltd. announced new drilling results from its 2025 exploration program at the Aburna Gold Project in Eritrea, highlighting significant gold intercepts at the Hill 52 and Central areas. Key results include 21 meters grading 1.20 g/t gold, with a high-grade sub-interval of 5 meters at 3.32 g/t gold, and 8 meters grading 1.19 g/t gold. The program successfully extended mineralization and confirmed continuity, with the company noting that 80% of the Aburna gold trend remains untested.

Reasoning: The drilling results confirm and extend gold mineralization at the Aburna Gold Project, with several high-grade intercepts within broader zones, particularly at the Hill 52 and Central areas. The shallow nature of the mineralization is positive for potential open-pit development, and the program successfully extended known zones. While true widths are estimated, they are not precisely stated for each intercept.

- Positive factor: High-grade sub-intervals within broader zones

- Positive factor: Extension of mineralization at Central prospect

- Positive factor: Confirmation of mineralization continuity at Northeast prospect

- Positive factor: Shallow nature of mineralization

- Negative factor: True width is estimated as a range, not precisely stated for each intercept

Facts used in scoring: 25

## Classification and evidence

**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 explicitly states that results were analyzed by an independent and accredited laboratory \(Intertek Minerals Ltd.\), that certified reference material and blanks were inserted into the sample stream, and that a Qualified Person reviewed and approved the technical information.

Evidence · text

> The results reported here for the Reverse Circulation \("RC"\) drilling were analysed by Intertek Minerals Ltd., an independent and accredited laboratory located in Tarkwa, Ghana. ... The Company inserted certified reference material from OREAS \( www.ore.com.au \) into the sample stream, while NABRO sample preparation facility inserted barren granodiorite material into the sample stream as a blank. ... All scientific and technical information in this press release... has been reviewed, verified, and approved by Chris Bargmann CGeol FGS, consultant for Alpha and a "qualified person" for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101

**Compositing Transparent**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Cut-off grade and internal dilution rules are clearly stated for reported intervals.

Why it applies: The document clearly states the nominal cut-off grades \(0.40 g/t Au and 0.20 g/t Au\) and maximum internal dilution \(3 meters and 2 meters\) used for determining the reported intersections.

Evidence · text

> 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 3 metres of internal dilution of the intercepts. \*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 2 metres of internal dilution of the intercept.

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Drillhole ABR178 is explicitly stated to have extended the mineralized envelope some 60m to the southeast on its section line at the Central prospect.

Evidence · text

> Drillhole ABR178 returned an intersection of 8m @ 1.19 g/t gold from 101m drilled depth that includes a zone of 5m @ 1.73 g/t gold. This interval extends the mineralized envelope some 60m to the southeast on this section line at the Central prospect.

**Apparent Width Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness.

Why it applies: The document states that true widths range between 70% and 90% of the drilled intersections, but does not provide specific true width values for individual intercepts.

Evidence · text

> Based upon current data and interpretation it is estimated true widths range between 70% and 90% of the drilled intersections.

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. 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.
