Alpha Exploration Extends Private Placement Financing to Bolster Exploration in Eritrea


TSX-V: ALEX | alpha-exploration.com

Up to $6 Million Sought to Advance Gold and Base Metal Discoveries at Kerkasha Project

Alpha Exploration Ltd. (TSXV: ALEX) has announced an extension of its ongoing non-brokered private placement financing, securing regulatory approval from the TSX Venture Exchange to continue raising up to CAD $6,000,000.

The funds are earmarked to accelerate Alpha’s aggressive exploration and development activities within its 514 km² Kerkasha Project in Eritrea.

This marks the second tranche of the financing, following an initial successful raise of CAD $3.196 million, which closed on April 9, 2025. The Offering consists of Units priced at $0.70 each, with each Unit comprising one common share and one-half of a common share purchase warrant.

Each full warrant entitles holders to purchase an additional share at $1.05, valid for 18 months from the closing date.

The funds will be used for:

• Ongoing exploration at key targets including Aburna, Anagulu, and Tolegimja,

• Operational and administrative expenses,

• Working capital and general corporate purposes.

Insider Participation and Compliance

Alpha disclosed that certain insiders may participate in the offering, making it a “related party transaction” under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions.

However, the company intends to rely on exemptions from formal valuation and minority approval requirements, citing that the related-party portion will not exceed $2.5 million and meets fair market conditions.

This transparent compliance approach reflects Alpha’s commitment to ethical financing practices, while still drawing support from stakeholders with intimate knowledge of the project’s long-term value.

Kerkasha Project: A Strategic Asset in Eritrea’s Mining Frontier

Located in southwest Eritrea, the Kerkasha license is one of the largest contiguous exploration holdings in the region and sits within the Arabian-Nubian Shield, a well-known metallogenic belt hosting multiple world-class gold and base metal deposits.

Since securing the license in 2018, Alpha has launched exploration across more than 17 prospects, with Aburna (gold), Anagulu (copper-gold porphyry), and Tolegimja (VMS system) emerging as standout targets.

Recent developments include:

• A 10,000-meter RAB drilling program at Aburna and Anagulu (currently underway)

• Ongoing reverse circulation and diamond drilling focused on expanding known zones and testing new targets

• Follow-up drilling at Anagulu targeting cupola-style porphyry copper-gold mineralization

Leadership and Vision

Alpha Exploration is led by a technically experienced management team with a strong track record in advancing discoveries across the Arabian-Nubian Shield. Since its public listing in 2021, the company has focused on cost-effective, data-driven exploration with high discovery potential.

The Kerkasha project, in particular, represents a unique first-mover advantage in a jurisdiction that has historically produced high-grade, low-cost mining operations.

Final Word

The extension of Alpha Exploration’s private placement comes at a pivotal moment in the company’s growth. With over $3.2 million already raised and up to $6 million in total financing projected, Alpha is well-positioned to intensify its exploration in Eritrea—unlocking new value at a time when global interest in copper and gold assets is surging.
