Alpha Exploration Inc. Reports 8.7 g/t Au Over 2.0 Metres at Donna Property

VANCOUVER, Jan. 27, 2015 - Alpha Exploration Inc. ("Alpha" or the "Company") (TSX-V:AEX) is pleased to announce that it has been notified by Interconnect Ventures Corporation ("IVC") (TSX.V:IVC) of the results for the recent diamond drill program at the Donna Property ("Donna", or "Property") located in south-central British Columbia.

Discovery Consultants and Dorado Drilling Ltd. carried out a four hole NQ diamond drill program on behalf of Alpha and IVC for a total of 492 metres in December 2014. Drilling was based on targets generated from an induced polarization ("IP") survey carried out on the Property in 2014. (see Alpha news release dated November 26, 2014).

All four drill holes intersected gold mineralization, including 8.72 g/t Au over 2.0 m >(See Photo 1,Table 1). Gold mineralization is associated with semi-massive sulphides including pyrite, arsenopyrite, galena and pyrrhotite which occur along the contact between a diorite intrusion and argillite. This newly discovered gold mineralization is 1.5 kilometres west of the area of historic trenching and drilling, and 350 metres west of the 2010 drilling, this expanded delineation of gold increases significantly the potential of the zone.

Sample #	From (m)	To (m)	Width (m)	Au (g/t)
799652	9.0	11.0	2.0	0.65
799654	13.0	14.0	1.0	0.15
799662	24.0	26.0	2.0	0.23
799688	69.0	71.0	2.0	8.72

Complete geochemical data from all four drill holes are provided on the Company's website.

All samples were analyzed at Acme Analytical Labs in Vancouver, BC, which is a certified ISO Laboratory (ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 17025:1999). Analytical precision and accuracy were monitored by the use of duplicates, prep and pulp samples, and by standards.


Regional Context

• The Donna Property is located in the source headwaters of the historic Kettle River and Yeoward Creek placer gold camps.


• The property lies within one of the largest clusters of anomalous values in gold and typical associated pathfinder elements identified in the British Columbia Regional Geochemical Surveys stream sediment program carried out in the joint Federal - Provincial programs from 1985 -1990, with a detailed report published in 1991.

Drilling in 2014 tested targets west of the area of historic trenching and drilling, and upslope of the drainage that yielded gold values of >3 ppm Au from a heavy mineral concentrate. Surface work in 2014 defined several IP chargeability anomalies in the area; follow-up drilling targeted select chargeability highs on the flank of the dioritic intrusion, itself defined by a broad resistivity low (Figure 1).

Summary

The mineral potential of the Donna Property has increased significantly. The new drill results indicate that the diorite body is larger than previously known, as is the extent of associated gold mineralization along its southwestern margin. Additional High chargeability and low resistivity anomalies along this margin are largely untested and warrant follow-up drilling (see Figure 1).
