2005 Drilling Discovers a New High-Grade Zone on Alpha Gold's Lustdust Property.

) has received complete analytical results for a 16 hole, 5 153 meter diamond drilling Diamond Drilling is a highly specialized industry used for mineral exploration around the world. Most commonly using wireline and core bits with diamond encrusted matrix. To drill holes to max depths of twelve thousand feet, for the recovery of core used in verifying mineral  program on the Lustdust property located 210 kilometers northwest of Prince George Prince George, city (1991 pop. 69,653), central British Columbia, Canada, at the confluence of the Fraser and Nechako rivers. It is a railroad division point and a distribution center for a lumber region.  and 215 kilometers by road northwest of Fort St. James in north-central British Columbia. The property consists of eleven cell mineral claims (covering 6 400 ha.) which are 100% owned by Alpha Gold Corporation.

The claims cover numerous mineralized min·er·al·ize

 gold-arsenic soil geochemistry geochemistry, study of the chemical changes on the earth. More specifically, it is the study of the absolute and relative abundances of chemical elements in the minerals, soils, ores, rocks, water, and atmosphere of the earth and the distribution and movement of  anomaly 300 metres east of the Canyon Creek Skarn Zone resulted in the discovery of the East Zone. The anomaly was tested with nine holes over a length of 150 metres and remains open to the north. The preliminary interpretation is that the zone is a manto similar to the Number 3 and 4B Zones but it could also represent the thin end of skarn similar to the CCS Zone.

- Drill-hole LD05-02 returned 1.705 g/t Au, 24.9 g/t Ag, and 10.35% Zn over 1.1m from 93.7 to 94.8.0 metres

- Drill-hole LD05-05 returned 3.661 g/t Au, and 56.8 g/t Ag over 2.3m from 170.6 to 172.9 metres and 2.255 g/t Au, 54.1 g/t Ag, and 2.66% Zn over 1.9m from 189.6 to 191.5 metres.

- Drill-hole LD05-08 returned 2.390 g/t Au and 10.5 g/t Ag over 1.3m from 274.0 to 275.3 meters

2. Drilling in the CCS Zone was successful in proving the continuity of several previous intersections and filling in gaps in the drill grid. It is, however, extremely difficult and expensive to define reserves from surface due to the depth of the mineralization Mineralization

- Drill-hole LD05-17, a 35 metre offset of LD02-09 (24.04 g/t Au, 80.7 g/t Ag and 2.19% Cu over 15.0m from 417.3 to 432.3 metres), returned 5.720 g/t Au, 186.5 g/t Ag, and 4.65% Cu over 3.0m from 372.7 to 375.7 metres within 8.5m of 2.705 g/t Au, 85.1 g/t Ag, and 2.13% Cu from 372.7 to 381.2 metres. Hole LD05-17 also returned 1.685 g/t Au, 52.0 g/t Ag, and 1.35% Cu over 8.9m from 344.0 to 352.9 metres.

The project was supervised by Daryl J. Hanson, P.Eng., hereby identified as a "Qualified Person" under National Instrument 43-101. Sample analysis was conducted at the ALS Als (äls), Ger. Alsen, island, 121 sq mi (313 sq km), Sønderjylland co., S Denmark, in the Lille Bælt, separated from the mainland by the narrow Alensund.  Chemex Laboratory in Vancouver, B.C. Quality control consisted of inserting a blind standard and blank for every 20 samples throughout the course of the program.

 type) gold deposits. Based on this model, some of the core from the 2003 drill program at the Takla-Bralorne Mercury Mine has been sampled and results are pending.

Samples for acid-base accounting test-work have been submitted in preparation for applying for a permit to construct a decline to the 1000 metre elevation of the CCS. This access will allow reserves to be defined more efficiently and accurately.

Results from the 2005 soil sampling program will be available when the data has be plotted and interpreted.
