VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire - July 9, 2012) - Alphamin Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:AFM) (the "Company" or "Alphamin") is pleased to announce that it has commenced drilling on its Bisie Tin Project ("Bisie") in the North Kivu Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo ("DRC"). An initial drilling program of 2,800 metres is planned to test the two main zones worked extensively by artisanal miners roughly 100m vertically below surface. Holes will cover 700m of delineated tin mineralisation.

Tin mineralization is within a set of high grade north-south trending quartz/cassiterite veins in schists exposed over 1km along a ridge which transgresses the project for more than 9km.

Rock Drilling Congo (DRC) SPRL has been contracted for the initial drilling programme. Half core samples will be submitted to accredited ALS Chemex laboratory in Johannesburg where samples will be analyzed using ME-XRF05 conducted on a pressed pellet with 10% precision and an upper limit of 10 000ppm. Over limit samples will be sent to Vancouver for ME-XRF10 which uses a Lithium Borate 50:50 flux with an upper detection limit of 60% and precision of 5%. Industry accepted QA/QC checks will be applied including use of duplicates, standards and blanks.

First results are expected in August.
