Alpha Minerals Inc. (TSXV:AMW) and its 50% Joint Venture partner, Fission Uranium Corp., announced that step-out drilling hit a composite total of 21.65m off-scale radioactivity within 70 m of mineralization at the R390E Zone on the Patterson Lake South, located in the Athabasca Basin. At 21.65m off-scale (>9999 cps) mineralization, hole PLS13-075 represents the largest accumulation of discrete off-scale mineralized intervals in any drill hole at Patterson Lake South to date.
As quoted in the press release:
Holes PLS13-073 and PLS13-075 tested the eastern and western extension of zone respectively and both intersected mineralization. The strike length of the R390E zone has now been increased to 105m at an early stage of the summer drill program. At 21.65m off-scale (>9999 cps) mineralization, PLS13-075 represents the largest accumulation of discrete off-scale mineralized intervals in any drill hole at PLS to date. Drilling of hole PLS13-075 is still in progress at a depth of 188.0m, and it is expected that the main zone of mineralization has been intersected and reported in this news release.

PLS13-075 Drilling Highlights include:
- Extends strike length of R390E zone to 105m
- 21.65m total off-scale radioactivity in several discrete intervals including
- 16.7m of continuous off-scale (>9999 cps) (73.5m – 90.2m)
- 82.0m of variable strength basement mineralization in two zones, separated by only 2.5m of barren rock
- The upper zone (57.5m – 127.5m), which includes the 21.65m of total composite off-scale, reported variable weak to strong radioactivity
- The lower zone (130.0m – 142.0m) reported weak to moderate radioactivity
- Multiple narrow anomalous radioactive intervals present from 146.5m to 162.5m
