VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alpha Copper Corp. (CSE:ALCU) (OTC:ALCUF) (FSE: PP0) (“Alpha,” “Alpha Copper,” or the “Company”) a resource organization founded to create value through mineral exploration and asset advancement, provides its first diamond drilling program update on the Indata copper-gold Project located in the Quesnel Terrane, British Columbia.
The summer drill program currently underway at the Indata copper-gold project is oriented with a discovery objective as we look for substantial mineralized bodies combining two relevant and distinct targets; vein gold hosted mineralization and porphyry copper-gold mineralization.
Alpha is currently undertaking a 5,000-metre drill program to test multiple high level geophysical targets including carbonate replacement deposits (“CRD”) to porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum mineralization environments. The first 2022 drill hole, of this inaugural drilling campaign, IN- 22-74 (Target ‘J’) started in volcanic mineralized rock then encountered felsic intrusive near the end of the hole (144 metres) where it intersected molybdenum mineralization (a classic characteristic of CRD mineralized rock in limestone is an adjacent molybdenum mineralized porphyry body ). Please find attached photo of molybdenum mineralization in hole IN-22-74.

IN-22-75 and IN-22-76 were drilled as the Company moved north to the Lake Copper Target. Hole IN-22-76 encountered encouraging vein mineralization and both holes confirmed the extent of the intrusive entity which is receptive for porphyry copper -gold mineralization. As seen on map insert (Figure 2).
