VANCOUVER, July 21, 2011 /CNW/ -- VANCOUVER, July 21, 2011 /CNW/ - Alpha Gold. (TSXV: ALQ) ("Alpha Gold" or the "Company") today announced what the immediate future holds for Alpha Gold Corp. After review of the past exploration work conducted on the Lustdust property, the Board has approved the 2011 exploration program which is intended to further delineate and expand the areas of known mineralization. The 2011 exploration program is also intended to develop drill targets beyond the drill tested zones of the property that could significantly increase the size and extent of the known mineralization on the property. Alpha plans to carry out a property-wide Geotech Ltd. ZTEM airborne survey to delineate regional structures. As described by Geotech, "The ZTEM or Z Axis Tipper Electromagnetic system is an innovative airborne EM system which uses the natural or passive fields of the Earth as the source of transmitted energy" and "ZTEM data is closely related to resistivity/conductivity mapping of the subsurface". Additionally, follow-up property-wide detailed geological mapping, rock and soil sampling over areas not previously mapped and explored on the property will be done this year. Alpha is excited about what the ZTEM survey and ground follow-up programs may reveal on a property-wide scale. In order to develop both the diversification and growth strategies, Alpha has additionally entered into discussions with third parties with the view of possibly acquiring additional early stage gold exploration properties in jurisdictions outside the Province of British Columbia. The Company continues its focus on gold exploration and the Board is pleased with the possibility of new discoveries to be made on the Lustdust as well as the potential of promising acquisitions which are currently under review. The Board also unanimously approved the continuation of its award winning reclamation and environmental programs on the property. Alpha appreciates the input from and plans to continue to employ local First Nations in its exploration, reclamation and environmental programs.
