Alpha Exploration Commences Winter Program at Middle Lake Project, Cluff Lake Area, Athabasca Basin

ANCOUVER, Jan. 22, 2015 - Alpha Exploration Inc. ("Alpha" or the "Company") (TSX-V:AEX) has begun its winter 2015 exploration program at its Middle Lake Property ("Middle Lake" or the "Property") located adjacent to the former Cluff Lake uranium mine in the western Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan.

The Middle Lake winter exploration program is mainly drilling but includes an extension to the ground gravity survey carried out in 2014, and infill radon sampling between existing grids. This work will be completed before drilling commences in early February. Approximately 2,500 metres of diamond drilling is planned in up to 25 holes located around Skull Lake in the northwestern part of the Property. Drilling is anticipated to take approximately 4 weeks to complete.
