Alpha Gold Corp. (TSX-V: ALQ) today announced that permitting is underway for a 3000-metre diamond drilling program to commence this week on territory never before drilled, in the Kwanika Valley on the Company's 100%-owned Lustdust property in central B.C.
The drilling program will target an area approximately 50 metres from Alpha's eastern border with Serengeti Resources Inc.'s (TSX-V: SIR) Kwanika Project where that company has recently reported significant intersections from a series of holes lying approximately 100 metres away from Alpha Gold's property line (Serengeti press release dated July 31, 2008). This area lies approximately 2.5 km southeast of the heavily mineralized Canyon Creek Skarn.
Alpha Gold's targets are approximately 150 metres from Serengeti's K-96 hole and will test for continuity of gold-copper mineralization.
George Whatley, President and CEO of Alpha Gold explained, "Alpha Gold is in the enviable position not only to hold 100% interest in the multi-mineralized Lustdust Property but also to have the cash in hand that allows the Company to avoid the unsubstantiated dilution that so many other exploration companies have experienced when closing equity financings since spring 2008. We are ready and financed to proceed and react to new discoveries now and add value to Lustdust."
The Company's chief consulting geologist, Daryl J. Hanson, P.Eng., is the Company's "Qualified Person" under National Instrument 43-101 and is overseeing the exploration program. -- www.cnxmarketlink.com
